NASCAR 2011 addresses backflips and corruption

I’ve been eying with curiosity a copy of Nascar 2011 for the Xbox 360 sitting here on my desk. Not that I’ve ever played a Nascar game, but my recent wheeltime with Shift 2 has me wondering if I’m missing anything. Millions of fans can’t be wrong, can they?

However, it sounds like the game might be in slightly rough shape, based on a press release about an upcoming patch. The list of fixes is one of those lists that makes me wonder why those things have to be fixed in the first place. They released it like that? Of course, I don’t really know Nascar, so I can’t make heads nor tails of some of that stuff. For instance, one of the fixes:

Ensure only Carl Edwards performs a back flip

Driver unique gymnastics moves! Among the bugs being addressed:

Truex Jr. & Bill Elliott being corrupt during celebrations

Sauron, man.
