NASCAR 2005 CHASE FOR THE CUP
Reviewed by SHAWNMICHAELS2 on May 29, 2007 | report this review
NASCAR 2005 CHASE FOR THE CUP is a great game. This NASCAR game has a new feature called Fight to the top. I love this new feature because you work your way up from the botom of the NASCAR series. First you start out in the Featherlight series. While you go through the season you will get a test session for the Craftsman Truck series and if you pass you will have a contract you can sign that season or the beginning of next season. If you sign it on your first season and your doing well you will get another test session, but this time for the National Busch series (NBS). Then near the end of the season If your still doing well in all three seasons you will get a test session for the highest ranking series. The NASCAR Nextel cup series. If you do good enough you will get yet another contract that you can sign. Thats Fight to the top mode. Now time for the new car features. This year you have four series of cars you can race with in Exabition Mode. the Wheelen Modified cars, the Craftsman trucks, The Busch series cars, and the Nextel cup cars which were the origional cars you could drive in previous years. NOTE: WHEN YOU ARE USING THE FEATHERLITE CARS YOU CAN'T MAKE PIT STOPS SO DON'T BANG UP YOUR CAR. Now to talk about Skill points. Skill points are easy and also hard to receive depending on what your doing. The easy ones you receive normally for just racing. You get them for cleanly passing people, overlaping, drafting, intimidating, taking the lead leading laps etc. You can lose normal skill points by racing dirty. That includes bumping, scaping, crashing, spinning people out, getting overlapped etc. You can also receive skill points by doing lightning challenges and a new feature called Skill point challenges. This is where the hard comes into play. These challenges go anywhere from easy to extreme. Now you have your EASY catigory, your MEDIUM catigory, your HARD catigory, and your EXTREME catigory. The easy challenges range from 500-1,000 skill points each. the medium challenges range from 1,000-1,500 skill points each. The hard challenges range from 1,500-3,000 skill points each. And the extreme challenges range anywhere from 2,000 skill points to 15,000 skill points each. Spending your points is the best part. You can get paint schemes, new drivers, new production cars, new tracs, and pole positions. Oh yeah and a Mr.Clean pit crew which costs 15,000 skill points. The next new feature adding onto the Share draft feature to make allies comes the new INTIMIDATE feature. This new feature does the exact opposite of the share draft feature. This makes your opponent make mistakes, for instance when you on a turn they will go to high, or to low and hit the wall, or slip up this gives you a chance of taking their position but it also makes them your enemy. The next new feature on NASCAR 2005 CHASE FOR THE CUP is the production car feature. This feature will let you drive cars like a Mustang, or a Lightning Truck. You receive these through Fight To Th

Fight To The Top Mode Walkthrough
Hint by SHAWNMICHAELS2 on May 29, 2007 | report this hint
When you start out in fight to the top mode you will be in the Featherlite series. On your way you will get a test session for the Craftsman truck series. If you pass the test sign the contract and win all the races after that because you can still win the championsnip after about half the season is over. However Travis Kvapil will be a problem because all season long he's been finishing in the top ten. If you can spin him during some races and yellow flags aren't on you can pass him on the standings in the last few races. After more than half the season is over you will receive a test session for the National Busch Series (NBS). If you pass the test don't make the mistake of signing the contract in the first season because even if you win every single Busch series race you CAN NOT win the championship. In the last few races you will receive another test session if you made the mistake of signing the Busch series contract. It will be for the NASCAR N extel cup. If you are sucessful you will receive another contract and word of advice DO NOT I repeat DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT sign it because there is no chance you will win the Nextel Cup. Now if you listened and didn't sign the Busch series contract before the season is over you will have more than one to choose from. Pick the one with the best star rating and if they all have only one star pick the one that pays the most money. Start your second season only in the Busch series. Soon enough you will have a test session for the NASCAR Nextel cup series. Pass the test and sign the contract. After going through season after season after season you will have enough money to buy your own team. It will cost $4,000,000 for a Nextel cup team. You can now make your own car and select your own sponsors. You can also pick prices for your murchandise to sell to your fans. Hopefully by now you will have maximum prestige and maximum fans (IF YOU NEED A LITTLE HELP GETTING MAXIMUM PRESTIGE YOU CAN LOOK ABOVE TO SEE MY MAXIMUM PRESTIGE CODE WHICH I PUT IN JUST THREE DAYS AGO. I KNOW PRETTY IMPRESSING AINT IT). Ok back to the subject. If you are a villain merchandise sales won't be a help to you. You should make an average of $25,000-$40,000 per race if you are a hero. The best part about having your own team is getting 100% of your race winnings minus your crews expenses of about $6,000-$7,000 per race, but winning the DAYTONA 500 will be totally worth it. You can also buy your own Wheelen Modified series, Craftsman Truck series, and NBS series team.
