Talk:NASCAR 09

message: Lets try to keep this better then the 08 article was pre-release. Only add a driver if you have a reference to prove that that driver will be in the game, like I did with Carl Edwards. Fisha695 (talk) 20:25, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Drivers

message: Cant we add drivers like Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, Tony Stewart, Earnhardt Jr., and Ryan Newman. Because i doubt they are going to have a game with out the obvious ones.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.208.247.160 (talk) 17:48, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Drivers Part 2 

message: Hey there, I've come here from WT:VG. Just to inform you, drivers and track lists do not belong on any Wikipedia article. I know that most NASCAR video game article contain them: that is wrong too. It's best to save yourself the effort and not write up any of these lists in the first place. Regards, User:Krator (t c) 09:15, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Wikipedia simply isn't the place for every detail on the game. Several things fall under game guide content. This includes (but isn't limited to): car lists and other related lists, cheat codes, instructions on how to play and so on. See Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not: not a directory, and not a manual, guidebook or textbook sections. RobJ1981 (talk) 18:06, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Then I expect you and your little group of people to go delete it from EVERY NASCAR game article as well as every other video game article. REAL PEOPLE AND PLACES ARE MORE ENCYCLOPEDIC THEN FAKE PLACES AND PEOPLE IN OTHER VIDEO GAMES. So why should the fake things in other game articles and get to stay but the real things be deleted? I'm sorry but I still fail to see the moronic reasoning behind this. I'll continue to use the example of the GTA games. People do not need to know that the fake Liberty City is based off of the real New York City, but yet I guarantee that will be left in the GTA4 article. Like I said I still fail to see the moronic reasoning behind this... but then again maybe this is why many people are moving towards they own wiki things and away from this site.....

thread_title: No Makes in 09

message: Regardless of whether or not they are allowed, i don't think that any drivers should be added until an official announcement is made of the game is released due to the fact that just because drivers are often removed right before release.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bsebll552 (talk • contribs) 03:01, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Couple of things here. Kyle is seen in numerous screen shots and videos, and so is Dario. Also can you people not read? A Drivers list IS NOT ALLOWED. Also Screen Shots and pre-release Videos and Videos ARE NOT definite proof a driver is or is not in the game, almost every game since the late 90s has had a screen shot or video come out pre-release that contained a driver that ends up not being in the final game. Fisha695 (talk) 16:36, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

text: Note the comment above, 'drivers and track lists do not belong on any Wikipedia article. I know that most NASCAR video game article contain them: that is wrong too', WP:LIST, and so on. Lists of NASCAR drivers is simply non-notable - if you think they should be listed, why not list every player in every FIFA game? Fin©™ 22:23, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  First off you must not know much about online etiquette, while a sentence or paragraph in ALL Capital letters is shouting, one or a few words in a row in Capital letters (with or without the bold) is to show emphasis. Now as far as the other articles, the drivers lists were taken out of them in accordance with the rules, however some body must have put them back in. As far as why they are not allowed in, read the sections above and it explains it in detail and gives you links to go to to read the rules which you agree to follow every time you edit anything on Wikipedia. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for driver lists, but they are not allowed and really not needed, especially since as I described above, pre-release screen shots and videos are not proof that a certain driver or team or sponsor or even track will be in the final release version of the video. Also like it says at the top of this edit page "remember to sign your posts by typing four tildes". Fisha695 (talk) 02:52, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Driver List 

message: OK, this makes absolutly no sense. Who cares what the soundtrack of the game is. People look at these pages to get information which is important about the game. The soundtrack is trivvial, no one buys a game because of the soundtrack. If the drivers/characters and tracks/places that they game cannot be listed by someones interpretation of the "rules" then soundtrack infomrmation has absolutly no place on this page.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.143.140.12 (talk) 15:05, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. Fin©™ 16:08, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree.  Sure, no one buys a video game because of its soundtrack, but the creators of games select artists who are typically not yet very well known as a vehicle for getting their music out into the mainstream.  I, personally, would find it comforting that in the future someone might think to themselves, "There was that one song on 'NASCAR 09' that I really like, and I would like to buy it, but I can't remember what it is?"  Then, that person could come here, to this page, and find out the answer to that question.  Or at least have a list of music which they could take to iTunes or amazon.com and preview until they locate the track that they are seeking.  Content on the games is encyclopedic, and that includes music as much as it includes drivers, tracks, paint schemes, etc.Kp.murphy (talk) 20:01, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Firstly, just because people want content doesn't mean the content should be on Wikipedia. Also, drivers, tracks and paint schemes are actually gamecruft and not encyclopedic. Thanks! Fin©™ 20:37, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

text: People can search google if they want a list of the songs. This was the first result in my search. Thanks! Fin©™ 20:38, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: The achievements shouldn't be included, wikipedia is not a game guide. Fin©™ 00:18, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  In Response to the unsigned comment, No Achievements are not part of the game at all, they are a Microsoft Gimmick (I don't mean that in a bad way) that's purpose is to try and get people to buy a 360 and when they play they beat certain Microsoft set achievements and they get Gamer Points (or whatever Microsoft calls them). It's basically trying to trick the consumer into thinking that if you buy a 360 and the 360 version of the game that you get more gameplay out of the game, when really you don't., At least thats how I look at it.

thread_title:  Can I add drivers? 

message: What if we could put external links to driver and/or track lists? Either from other Wikis or verified non-Wiki sites, I've observed that on the third-party Wikis (such as Wurmpedia or Halopedia), some adopt special rules in regards to their specific content. And potentially that could include a Wiki that would allow Driver's List (unless I'm missing a cardinal rule here).
What do you guys think? Flyingcandyman (talk) 22:54, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Look above I fought hard for a drivers list, but when it comes down to it, it is not needed or is not needed to be linked to either. Fisha695 (talk) 01:49, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Suggestion for Compromise of Driver's List issue 

message: Anyone notice Nascar 09 looks almost EXACTLY like 08 except for the paint schemes, SCS logo, and the repaved Talladega?
Also there aren't any scenes with Jeff helping you, just his pic with some text, a lot of it was used in last years game too.
THANK GOD THIS IS EA'S LAST NASCAR GAME

thread_title:  Nascar 09 PS2 

message: Listen, that thing (title) Drivers Part 2 makes sense in a way, like Jeff Gordon Should not need a reference to be in the game because LOOK AT THE COVER.  He is on there.
On the other hand I am dissapointed the car manufacturers will not appear on the cars.  It is almost dissapointing to me.  Is that weird?  And so what will they do with like Elliot Sadlers car, cause doesn't he still carry the Dodge Sponsor?  Because I know his teammate Kasey Kahne has a Budweiser sponsor, so.  I don't know.
P.S. This is EA's last NASCAR game?  Who is going to pick up the NASCAR Franchise?  To be honest, I don't know if the quality would be as good if like THQ picked up the series.  Urh.
