NASCAR The Game: 2011

NASCAR The Game: 2011, also known as NASCAR 2011: The Game, is a racing simulator licensed by the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing. The title is the first in the series to be developed by Eutechnyx, and published by Activision, after acquiring the rights from EA Sports.

The game includes a Career Mode that allows players to race in all 2010/2011 scheduled tracks and attempt to win the Sprint Cup Series championship. Players can tune and adjust the look of their car, view pit stop animations, and experience a variety of track-related accidents. An online multiplayer is also included.

NASCAR The Game: 2011 received widely mixed reviews, with an average score of 62%. While some online magazines praised its presentation and graphics, others have criticized its lasting appeal in the career mode, and glitchy multiplayer.

While some of the lap times can be tricky to beat, the majority of the offline trophies are quite doable, and the difficulty level can be adjusted without affecting the trophies. However, there are 6 online trophies, and a few of them can be both challenging and time consuming. We also took into account the fact that currently, while the servers are still up, the online is quite dead. If you have a boosting partner, all 6 online trophies can be done in one go, thereby bringing the difficulty level down to a 2-star.

Expect a good 25 hours to obtain the Platinum if you have a boosting partner, and longer if doing the online legitimately.

You can start with Career Mode, working towards collecting all the NASCAR pins, NXP levels, and of course the 200 wins. Basically, this means you should be trying to win everything. There are also a few miscellaneous trophies you can be unlocking at this time, such as Sprint To The Finish, Tailgating, and VIP, to name a few. check out the NASCAR The Game 2011 trophy guide links under our Links tab to see which career-related trophies you can be working on.

Once that's finished, you can start on the 6 online trophies. While a few may unlock quickly, some of them, such as performing a 4-tire pit stop and still winning for Pit Perfection, and leading in 5 consecutive laps for Up On The Wheel, can be pretty tricky doing this legitimately. If you're looking for a boosting partner, check out the forums under our Links tab. Also, it should be noted that the game does not keep track of your progress, so you may want to write down which tracks you've done, and how many wins you're getting.

Finally, head back to offline and mop-up the trophies you're still missing. Most likely, this will include Groovy which is one of the more time consuming offline trophies in the game. Also, grinding for XP you still may need, and some of other miscellaneous trophies that may be remaining.

NASCAR Unleashed

NASCAR Unleashed is an arcade-style racing game, licensed by the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing. Players select from 15 real-life NASCAR drivers and race in the Sprint Cup across six locations, within twelve different track layouts.

NASCAR Unleashed received mixed reviews, with an average score of 58%, praised by some for its simplicity as an introduction to racing games, while criticized by others for the same reason, as well as for the lack of online multiplayer.

While this is a high 1-star rating, the difficulty really depends on the player's skills. Those familiar with racing games will probably run through quite easily and unlock the Platinum in under six hours. Players new to the racing genre may find some of the Championship and Time Trials rather tricky, but still quite doable.

Overall, expect between 6-12 hours for the platinum, depending on your racing skills.

NOTE: You will need 2 controllers for some trophies.

The first thing to do is play through Champion Mode. Only completing the primary goals is required to move through and reach the end, unlock the That All You Got? trophy. You'll also unlock a few other trophies naturally along the way. Though we recommend working on completing the challenges as well, and unlocking some specific trophies, while playing through Championship Mode. This will simply cut down on the grinding later on, and save you some time.

Once you've completed Championship Mode, you can head into Quick Race where you'll need to finish a race without coming in 1st place for the Good Effort trophy, and finish 1st for The Real Deal trophy.

Then, plus in a second controller to get the three 2-player trophies, which include Eat My Dust, Friendly Rivalry, and Well Played.

Next is the Time Trials, where you'll need to earn gold in each. This shouldn't be too difficult for seasoned racing-gamers, as most of these are quite easy. Some can be tricky though, so learn when to boost, and drift to build your boost. A simple spin-out or wreck will almost guarantee a loss, so just hit pause and Retry when this happens.

Lastly, simply mop-up any last remaining trophies you still may need at this point. This will probably include grinding for points for unlocking paint colors, or anything else you may have missed.
