Ok, for those of you who played the RacingOne fantasy racing game last year......  which game do you enjoy playing the most?  Last years or this years Paythefan game?  I like to play any fantasy racing game, but I would have to say I liked last years better for one main reason.......  Group C!!!!!!!!   Will Paul Menard finish 18th?  Will Jeremy Mayfield finish at all?  ETC etc    Group C  takes a lot of fun out of it and puts pure luck to the top of doing well or not.  So, i would suggest a bit of a redoing of the paythefan game in the future.  Anyone wish to agree or disagree?

Well, I didn't play the full season game last year, just the 25K Chase Challenge.  I find the current game and the chase challenge to be pretty similar.  What was the format of the full season game last year?

Right now, I can't say that either game is better than the other although the salary cap in the previous years' game could have been done a little different.  If a driver had a few good races in a row, his cap would become so high, the only players that could afford him were those that were doing well.

With PTF, everyone has the same opportunity.  How you use your six driver picks is up to you.  Even if a player does well in the first quarter of races, they still do not have an advantage.  Same driver list, same # of races.  The second half of the season will become very, very interesting when the list of possible drivers becomes limited.

The more I think about it, I think I like this year's game better.

So far, I seem to be better this year. And hopefully Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson get better, cause I haven't used them yet. The C drivers are the hardest to pick, cause they could come in the top 10 this week and 43rd the next 3 weeks. I know it's the same for all drivers, but not as likely.

How about the prizes? Last year vs. this year eh? Not only can you score prizes in the R1 league but cash each week and overall in the PTF league.
