NASCAR 09 is scheduled to ship in North America on June 10.
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. - Electronic Arts Inc. today announced Jeff Gordon, driver of car No. 24 Chevrolet, will be featured as the cover athlete for EA SPORTS NASCAR 09. NASCAR 09 is scheduled to ship in North America on June 10 and will offer an authentic, exhilarating stock car driving experience for racing fans of all ages.
One of NASCARs most celebrated and successful drivers for more than a decade, Gordon is ranked 6th all time in Cup Series wins with 81 and is a four time Sprint Cup Series champion. Gordon is a member and partial owner of Hendrick Motorsports.
Its exciting being on the cover of NASCAR 09, says Gordon. The game is as real as it gets and its been great being involved with it on this level. I look forward to helping gamers in NASCAR 09.
Gordons prestigious reputation aligns with the new NASCAR 09 career mode, Sprint for the Cup. Gordon will bring the game to you as a guide and a mentor to help you build your reputation to become the next NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion. With a completely rebuilt handling model, the game will be more accessible to newcomers while continuing to offer options that will challenge even the most experienced virtual driver. NASCAR 09 is an authentic NASCAR experience that will appeal to every type of NASCAR enthusiast.
Developed in Orlando, Florida by EA Tiburon, NASCAR 09 will be available for the PLAYSTATION3 and PLAYSTATION 2 computer entertainment systems and the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system.
I really hope they really overhauled this game. The last two years have been disappointing. The last good year was 2006. Ever since then it's been nearly impossible to drive, the controls and car physics needed some big help.
I kinda thought they might put Dale Jr. on the cover since he's with his new ride this year, but oh well... no big deal.
You know I heard something about being on the cover of these games and that was they don't ever have a good year so, maybe it's a good thing that Jr isn't on the cover. (LoL)
Ea never have made a good NASCAR game. PAPYRUS made the best. I still play them with lots of mods, cars and tracks available. But as usual EA had the deep pockets so NASCAR, go for the money, gave the rights to EA.
