Edit: 3 hours in, been doing the career mode; managed to scrape a win at Bristol. AI is very competetive, and aggressive but in the right areas! The game needs a bit of work on the plate tracks (Daytona, 'Dega) as it's a bit clunky.

So far I'm very impressed with what this game is turning out to be. It's fun to be able to race against an AI knowing they're not going to just dump you like in NASCAR '15.

Pros:
- Great, competent AI
- Close, fast paced racing
- Fun Career mode, I enjoyed every race, despite finishing an average of 18th
- Challenge modes offer quick, easy fun

Cons:
- Not all 40 drivers are 'Cup' drivers
- Cautions sometimes don't come out when they should
- AI on plate tracks needs tweaking

Overall - If you're looking for a NASCAR game that's competetive, fun and challenging then this is the game you're looking for. It's not as in depth as iRacing, but for a 'casual' game it destroys all previous titles made by ETX.
