NASCAR '14 is a NASCAR video game. It is the third edition of the

NASCAR The Game racing simulator series, and is the sequel to NASCAR The Game: Inside Line. Developed by Eutechnyx and published by Deep Silver, the game was released on February 18, 2014, for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360
, and PC.

Cover vote

For the second straight game, Eutechnyx held a "drive for the cover" campaign, allowing fans to vote for the NASCAR driver they would like to see on the cover of NASCAR '14.[1] Tony Stewart was chosen as the game's cover driver, succeeding Dale Earnhardt Jr.[2]

New features

New features for the game include online leagues, a server browser, DNFs, enhanced AI difficulty, the option to hire staff in career mode, and new car physics.[3][4]

Driver rosters and paint schemes for the 2014 season were updated, with DLC being released on a monthly basis. The game also features all 23 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series tracks.[3]

Reception

The game has received mixed reviews. Jeremy Peeples of Hardcore Gamer gave the game a 3.5/5, saying that "there’s a lot of fun to be had in the career mode tinkering with settings and getting things just right for a race, while the core racing action is quite exciting in any mode".[5] Game Informer thought the game felt like a stopgap and that the franchise felt stagnant without the addition of any new major improvements to this new iteration.[11] GamesRadar+ praised the deep career mode, polish, controls, and online leagues while criticizing vague career mode, easily wreckable cars, and the lack of a minor league career circuit.[12]
