EA Shuts Down NSR Servers

I know I'm over a week behind on this bit of news, but I still find it
amusing due to the fact that Sierra's servers are still up for NR2003
after all of this time.


SimRacing Released: 2/15/05
NR2003 Released: 2/14/03

Perhaps EA should make the decision to release NSR on the PS2/3 or
XBox/360. Maybe they could recoup some money (just a guess that it
didn't sell very well) and sell it as NASCAR 08. That, and it would
certainly be better than that steamy pile titled NASCAR 07.

NSR was dead on 3/15/05. Unofficially of course, but dead nonetheless.

I saw something EA 06 or 07 nascar wise, on a commercial, for playboxes
somewhere...

EA doesn't support their releases well. It is something I am aware of
when I see an EA title for sale. I think EA hires good programmers but
not racing fans to develop their titles. They are clueless as to what
makes a racing game worthwhile.

They sure know how to make bold promises about supporting it. They
just fail to actually do it.
