NASCAR 08 is a combination of NASCAR and Burnout. Same thing happened with Need For Speed Shift on PSP, where they mixed NFS ProStreet assets with Burnout Dominator physics.
Nascar 06 total team control was my favorite game of all the nascar games 07 was just the same just updated rosters 08 was fun to do crash racing like your doing ......love your videos Michael
Really needed this video to cheer up a little. Today my dog passed away. Wish I could come up with some wacky ass comment, but I just don’t have it in me today 😔
Denny Hamlin did make a good point, when tf do you ever see Alex Bowman up front besides his wins? He has a terrible average finish that gets bumped uo by his occasional wins.
I’m gonna get shat on for this but he’s come and taken the wins away from the dominant cars all season, he himself hasn’t dominated a thing. Aside from the wins he’s been an also ran all year
If you play a NASCAR Game with Dale Jarrett, I have a name for him: Dale Ferret. Also did you know Kevin Conway is in NASCAR 08 in the Busch Series? And same goes for Double A batteries.
NASCAR 21 is already better than this game. Despite using the same AI engine, MSgames altered it so they make moves and acknowledge your presence. The car is also perfectly drivable in NASCAR 21... though settings vary track to track. On the flip side all NASCAR 08 got right were visual things, some of which NASCAR 21 couldn't... like pit stops and spawning.
I can appreciate the ai finally having a brain but as for the driving of the new car I really can’t stand it. The car feels like it’s floating to me, I can never feel the tires sliding and it all feels weightless
The similarities between this and 21 ignition are scary. The wrecks in both games are amazing. Possibly the best part of both games. While the gameplay in both is a shitshow.
Absolutely not. Visual glitches is all this game seems to have. What do you expect driving backwards? Lol. You can race this game how it's intended and have little to no issues. It's not even possible to finish a race no matter how hard you try on ignition.
Yes. Licensing does cost a lot of money, so it’s like putting the Carbon Motors E7 in the NFS Hot Pursuit remaster by ourselves because Carbon Motors went bankruptcy in 2013.
🤣Never fail to crack me up dude!🤘....seriously though, the dirt and smoke effects with a bit more damage carnage would have me playing ignition for the wrecks on occasion. As it sits the damn game has good bones, where it will be when patchfest 21 is finished? 🤷Hell if I know lol
@@MichaelMrucz One thing is for sure, I would assume they know what works, that being said I'm hopeful it at least checks most the boxes for everyone when the patch dust finally does clear, I look forward to more patchmatic 2021 madness from you bud!!!🤘 LETS GO!!!🤸🔥🏁
NASCAR 08 is truly “The Most Dangerous Game”. The controls and physics feel like you are driving drunk, the graphics are dull, and the AI opponents are annoying. It’s a sad thing that the popularity of NASCAR games has fallen down after this. It was a very wrong decision for EA to collapse this amazing franchise. R.I.P. EA Sports/NASCAR. (1996-2009)
2:48 JIMMAY LOL 😆 😂 🤣
Now that I think of it, Nascar 08 and Nascar 21 are very similar. The wrecks are crazy in both games!
At least arca breaks are better than brakes x1,000,000
they both got me hyped.
they both failed me
They also share the same gMotor code/engine. (PS2 version aside, that used NASCAR 07 codebase.)
69th like lol

At least NASCAR '08 has sound effects for the wrecks!
TRUTH
Oh man that intro was just meant to be: the 48 wins, hamster gets spun out, and it’s all in the same race. I knew you’d have a hay day with it!
Ignition needs to take NASCAR 07 and Inside Line and force them to mate. That would be a great game
😂😂😂
Facts lol.
I never noticed this, Thank you for showing me this, I cant believe how close they are in gameplay
This game was so so bad on 360. AI was terrible and Caution logic was bad
This game has dull graphics, horrible physics, and annoying opponents.
And being a Chicago native, you did all of us justice and I appreciate it! ❤️❤️❤️
🙌
Rip Chicagoland. Nascar bring it back.
Ignition is my START into nascar games...i really pray that soon youll be able to say " well i was wrong, they turned it all around and made this game amazing"
I hope to god they make it better for your sake

How rivalries starred:
Mc douge VS JIMMAY
NASCAR 08
Yeah, I think there’s a lot of nostalgia there-tbh it’s not the only game people view with rose-colored glasses.
"He's just a hack. Just an absolute hack,"
I soooo bad wanna race old drivers and cars like this in future games with those good good mechanics
JIMMAY NOOOO HOW COULD YOU?!!! 8:12
11:45
Cant forget about JIMMAY
Dude was so happy when he made the car fly in the air..that was genuine excitement! So funny!
😂 doesn’t take much to make me happy
What’s happening everybody micheal hacks nascar 08 to play on Montreal here!!! And it’s actually in the game
Funny 😄
Wait it is??? 👀
2:48 JIMMAY! :D
JIMMAY!!!!
WHATS HAPPENING EVERYBODY MICHAEL LAUNCHES MCDOUCHE OUT OF A CANNON HERE!!!
I also like your dancing squirrel there at the end.
Poor Grandpa and Bobby Labonte got absolutely destroyed this video.
Lmfao the hamster intro is pure clean shit gold!!!!
😂
What’s happening everybody Micheal the thanksgiving turkey here
:denny says hes clean :also denny spun chase for the win in 2017 XDD
Keep it up Mikey, love the Nascar 08 videos!
Thanks Shotgun :)
Another Nascar 08 video, you already know its gonna be awesome.
I’m favoring for Hamster to win the championship, I like chaos and it’ll be like if the Houston Astros win the World Series lmfao
6:02 Hey, this wreck looks familiar...🤔
Reminds me of the wreck from the first Cars movie.
Driving into Oncoming Shits, Ignition like Pileups, Hunting Season and Martinsville Pit Wall Blowovers all in one video? Nice!
I did cover it all 🤣
Best thing in Nascar 08 is the gen 4 Toyota
It's funyy the fact that you also make Denny look extremely clean
Looks like the wreck from the first cars movie 9:46
Actually, the wreck at 6:02 reminds me of the wreck from Cars.
yay more NASCAR 08 plus im going to become a member soon
❤️
WHATS HAPPENING EVERYBODY MICHAEL AS ELLIOTT SADLER DURING THAT CRASH AT POCONO HERE!!!!!!!
I wish we would've gotten a NASCAR/Burnout collaboration while EA still had the license.
NASCAR 08 is a combination of NASCAR and Burnout. Same thing happened with Need For Speed Shift on PSP, where they mixed NFS ProStreet assets with Burnout Dominator physics.
Nascar 08 was the very first Nascar video game I got when I was a kid
Barrel rolls in this game are pretty epic, not gonna lie. More modern nascar games dont appreciate the barrel roll enough IMO lol
They are indeed fun
Thank goodness you were kidding about Santa. Was about to freak out if I faced 30 years of lies.
Not gonna lie 08 was pretty hype back in the day
PS2 version only. The PS3/Xbox 360 version is garbage.
this game has the best damage model, smoke and dirt lingering effects ive ever seen in any video game next to cod 4, gives it that realistic effect
Just like Need For Speed Nitro, this game mixes the assets from Burnout games and Need For Speed Hot Pursuit 2.
Nascar 08 on Ps2 was my childhood, it was amazing
Imagine being in the crowd watching all this carnage
😂😂
The best laugh I've had all week!!! Thanks for telling the truth, and in such an entertaining, sarcastically funny way 😂!!!!
Thanks Tom!! 😊 happy to hear it!!
OMG THAT INTRO KILLED ME LOLLLLLL
Nascar 06 total team control was my favorite game of all the nascar games 07 was just the same just updated rosters 08 was fun to do crash racing like your doing ......love your videos Michael
Thanks Shannon :)
NASCAR please make Michael the new marketing manager he makes into videos that actually sell and funny as hell 🤣
Man imagine what I could do if I had their money to make vids lmao
Thanks for the save with Santa. My 5 year old was right there lol
👌😄
This is basically driving to oncoming traffic in NASCAR 08 part 2 and I wouldn’t have it any other way
Lol basically
Look who came back at this game again
Finally NASCAR 08 video but I don't want to watch the video anymore because of those booing part at the start at the video
Lolz
@@MichaelMrucz Don't worry im not a denny hamster fan
My favorite line ever from a crew chief mc doosh flips like crazy crew chief hey shake it off your all good
Really needed this video to cheer up a little. Today my dog passed away. Wish I could come up with some wacky ass comment, but I just don’t have it in me today 😔
I’m sorry Jake, I know how hard that is. Take it easy man, thoughts are with you right now ❤️
Possibly greatest intro ever!!!!!
Lol thanks Jeff
nascar 08 was my childhood i miss that game
This guy is 10 year old me in adult form. You have earned subscribe
lmao ill take it thanks Sea!
"I am 100% clean"
Think about 2017, Denny.
The next closest track to Chicago is now the Indianapolis motor speedway
Amazing intro.
Michael the pit reporter giving buschy a interview after martinsville here
This is when NASCAR video games whipped all their nae naes.
I see what you did there 😉
It’s a sad thing that the popularity of NASCAR games have gone downhill.
The way you made that face when you him jimmy 9:08
I hope to one-day see your Channel say 1mil good luck on your journey bro you put a smile on my face with your humor love ya bro 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯🤜🤛
Thank you sand much love bro ❤️😊
0:40 good start

Nice dancing squirrel 3:58
Great video Michael keep up with the great work
Thank you Adventures :)

Ferret 😂😂 oh yea I remember those guys being in there

@Philly Cheesesteak It don't matter if the game isn't playable.
@Philly Cheesesteak Half the time yes. As opposed to NASCAR 08, which wasn't in most circumstances.
NASCAR 21 doesnt even have a fucking mirror and the cautions don't work.
@@TheyWantMeGone69 I mean the same can be said about GT3 and it's the 2nd best selling PS2 game.
I can appreciate the ai finally having a brain but as for the driving of the new car I really can’t stand it. The car feels like it’s floating to me, I can never feel the tires sliding and it all feels weightless
jesus christ the crash physics in this game are something else
The crash physics in this game look like they’re from the movie Cars.
WHAT'S HAPPENING EVERYBODY!? MICHAEL BAKES 3 PUMPKIN PIES FOR THE THANKSGIVING DAY FEAST HERE!
I was 2 in 2008 so that intro is accurate
I miss this game for how bad the wrecks got when I went full on destroy mode. 😂😂😂
Who needs NASCAR 21 when you have NASCAR 08?
Damn true
12:10 that reminds me of the pinball effect in Wreckfest
I always feel like NASCAR 08 an NASCAR ignition should be in a arcade
Also I thought it was hilarious when you barely scrape the wall and your car turned into a fucking banana. 😂😂
This game reuses the damage modeling from Burnout.
I had the ps2 version when I was a kid, I just bought the 360 one gonna try it out soon. I also have a sealed copy of 09 on the ps2
The similarities between this and 21 ignition are scary. The wrecks in both games are amazing. Possibly the best part of both games. While the gameplay in both is a shitshow.
Absolutely not. Visual glitches is all this game seems to have. What do you expect driving backwards? Lol. You can race this game how it's intended and have little to no issues. It's not even possible to finish a race no matter how hard you try on ignition.
Did u rlly expect NASCAR 21 ignition to be absolutely perfect
It’s a sad thing that the popularity of NASCAR games has fallen down after this.
WHATS HAPPENING EVERYBODY IM MICHEAL THE KAREN HERE!
lol the 01 was just an airplane during this
Every race lol
At least the crash mechanics are realistic, the hood doesn’t glitch. nevermind
Hamlins totally clean
Rip grandpa Martin
WHAT'S HAPPENING EVERYBODY MICHAEL THE UNFIT OLYMPIC SWIMMER IN THE OLYMPICS HERE
Yayyyy back to origins
I always thought the cars were so loose and it was so hard to drive I definitely liked 09
I bought NASCAR Heat Evolution a few days ago
To me its not bad, just funny how the physics are
It isn’t the worst like people make it out to be
i died at 7:13 to 7:23, that reaction was hilarious!
I remember 08 and 09 not even having the manufacturer decals on the car it was like madden 64
08 had the manufactures on the Gen 4 car, they didn't bother with the Gen 5 cars and trucks. Then NASCAR 09 they didn't even try at all.
Yes. Licensing does cost a lot of money, so it’s like putting the Carbon Motors E7 in the NFS Hot Pursuit remaster by ourselves because Carbon Motors went bankruptcy in 2013.
WHAT'S HAPPENING EVERYBODY MICHAEL THE TURKEY HERE!!!!!
This is a cool Wreckfest mod
thought this was the 20k flips at bristol by mcdouche at first
WHATS HAPPENING EVERYBODY MICHAEL BETA TESTS NASCAR 21 IGNITION HERE!
🤣Never fail to crack me up dude!🤘....seriously though, the dirt and smoke effects with a bit more damage carnage would have me playing ignition for the wrecks on occasion. As it sits the damn game has good bones, where it will be when patchfest 21 is finished? 🤷Hell if I know lol
😄 we need patchfest to continue for a while. I’m also wondering where in the world the game will end up after it all
@@MichaelMrucz One thing is for sure, I would assume they know what works, that being said I'm hopeful it at least checks most the boxes for everyone when the patch dust finally does clear, I look forward to more patchmatic 2021 madness from you bud!!!🤘 LETS GO!!!🤸🔥🏁
The ps2 version of this game I liked. 09 was the dagger for me.
I hear that
NASCAR 08 needed more FIRE!
Truth
Exactly. I wish EA would’ve had more time to work on this game, but it was too late.
NASCAR 08 is truly “The Most Dangerous Game”.
The controls and physics feel like you are driving drunk, the graphics are dull, and the AI opponents are annoying.
It’s a sad thing that the popularity of NASCAR games has fallen down after this. It was a very wrong decision for EA to collapse this amazing franchise. R.I.P. EA Sports/NASCAR. (1996-2009)
At least 08 has cautions
He really does look like a hamster now Denny.
