NASCAR Racing 2015 Season

NASCAR Racing 2015 Season (also known as NR2015), is a racing video game developed and produced by NASCAR Media Group for the Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Steam, and Microsoft Windows. The game features many improvements from last year's game as well as an updated roster and paint schemes. NASCAR Racing 2015 Season was released in Summer 2015 and will be the third installment in the NASCAR Racing by NASCAR Media Group franchise.

Features & Gameplay
NR2015 will feature similar gameplay to its prequels with minor improvements and the addition of one new game mode. When playing the game in Arcade Mode, players can use "Race Mods" which can make their car more powerful or damage resistance. "Rush", "Resistance", "Flashback", "Avoidance" and "Mobility" will return as well as the add-on of one new "Race Mod": "Tandom".


 * Rush: Once a speed of at least 180 MPH is achieved, Rush will be activated. Rush gives a sense of speed to the player and does not affect the car at all.
 * Resistance: Used to slow down time during a crash. Though can only be used a certain amount of times during a race, can determine weather you win or lose.
 * Flashback: If you do get caught in a crash, Flashback will allow you to rewind to before the accident. However, you only get one Flashback per race.
 * Avoidance: If you begin to spinout, Avoidance will automatically turn your car around keeping it from wrecking or becoming airborne.
 * Mobility: Keeps your car from taking too much damage when wrecking no matter how bad the wreck.
 * Tandom: Pulls the car in front of you right back to your front bumper. Only works on plate tracks.

Trivia

 * The full version of the game was originally going to be released in Spring 2015 but moved to late Summer 2015 due to not only NASCAR '15 being released but to make the roster more accurate.
 * NR2015 Ignition was something the developers wanted to bring to the game since that start, however, the program will also help fight against those getting DLC content or other mods for free as they did with NR2014.
 * All music in the game is censored however downloaded songs will be uncensored.
 * The game has received an "E" Rating however it is expected that painters will create the alcohol sponsors for use in the PC edition and because of this, the back of the box art for the PC version features "Use of Alcohol" under the rating. A DLC pack is planned for consoles that will add the alcohol sponsors if it passes standards.
