Not like it would make it playable anyways. It would just be a more polished turd.
It’s unfortunate.

There's a third possibility I think.
Motorsports financial situation and overall health are worse than we thought and it doesn't get released. The company goes bankrupt and Nascar is free with its license without having to do anything.
For your second scenario, I think even if Nascar is legally able to get out of the deal, the upgrade would still be released if it is in a position to do so. Of course if it doesn't get released Nascar may be able to use that in their fight to escape the deal.

I find it funny they are running out of funds yet are still sponsoring a car soon.

Try to trick more people into investing before they bail
Probably right.

Interesting, makes me wonder if the end is near for them…

Interesting development.
There are 2 ways this could go:
1. They are losing the license. Usually when you negotiate an exit its not immediate. You complete the current project and then go your separate ways. This works best for both sides as for the license owner you wouldn't have enough time to find a new licensee and have them work on making a release, and the license holder wouldn't be caught in a really bad spot by having to throw away months of work. By instead releasing an expansion the team wouldn't have to devote as much to a full game that would ultimately be wasted investments, and it reduces the odds that Motorsports releases another dud that would harm the brand. A month or two from now it could be announced that the license is going somewhere else but the expansion to 21 would still be released.
2. They are keeping the license and genuinely believe this is the path to right the ship and Nascar has signed off on it. According to this plan, they are doing what many gamers want Madden to do to fix its issues.
Initial thoughts are that scenario 1 seems much more likely, but I can't rule out scenario 2
that video...interesting...

Maybe the 3D grass showed in early screens and liveries loading correctly???
One can dream 🤣
One thing I did find is that my Thrustmaster wheel lost its force feedback when I changed from an oval (Nashville) to a road course (Watkins Glen). Not only did it lose its force feedback, it's sensitivity was reduced to the extent that I had to go into my wheel's onboard steering wheel ranges and change its range from 900 deg to 540 deg, to get the same sensitivity. I then had to close the game, turn my wheel off, reboot my wheel, start NASCAR 21 using the wheel. This series of actions restored the force feedback, which thankfully, feels pretty natural with the default settings... which can't be changed.
I'm anxious to read the reactions of others to this, but for now, I at least have a NASCAR racing game that I want to give another chance to.
I will say that they've done nothing to help the handoff from autopilot control at the start of the race over to the driver. It took me four tries before I could make it through the first turn at Talladega because the handoff put me in a quick drift, putting me into another car or the wall because of degree of corrections needed were impossible. At veteran difficulty level, I was able to run with the last quarter of the field and felt less threatened by cars diving under me entering turns.
Wow. That is like the bare minimum, and they have capped fps in 4k at 30fps...in a racing game.
I'll continue playing NH5 for the time being

I found the control much better than expected...

I hope nobody gets hoodwinked regarding that.

Not sure if you heard about the "Town Hall" they had a few months ago but they claimed that "last gen" consoles aren't powerful enough to support a rearview mirror.
They also claimed the reason for no fuel gauge is because there's no fuel gauge IRL, even though iRacing (the game they compared themselves to) has a fuel information overlay. LOL
I still have the same opinion that I did a few months ago. Its already understood by both parties that the Nascar license will be finding a new home, it just hasn't been announced yet or made official until after the September expansion is released
What makes you think this is the case?
1.) The lack of a rear view mirror causes me to make mistakes and take bad positions because I can't tell where the cars behind me are exactly. I'm running a 15% length season and I had actually gotten to the 24th lap in one race by simply keeping the high line all the way around Daytona. I qualified 12th, but dropped to 30th in doing so, but at least I was staying on the track and holding off the 31st through 40th place cars.
The problem is that if I race with my normal competitive instincts, I'm usually taken out by a nasty rear bump from a car I should have been able to see setting up for the bump in my rear view mirror. I don't like having to race under house restrictions that severe!
2.) Since I using a steering wheel with this game, I have to have the controller plugged in to navigate certain menu screens. This sets up the most fatal flaw of the game for steering wheel users. When you're in a long race where you've had to do no controller manipulation, the controller times out and shuts down. This takes away your steering control even though your wheel is still connected. You have to reconnect the controller to correct the situation with your wheel. Once you get control of it, you're going to find yourself pasted against a wall with varying degrees of car damage.
I had three races end yesterday where I was having a good run going, forgot to wiggle the right stick to keep the controller active, and had my race end due to the controller time out knocking the steering wheel control out along with it. This is inexcusable and this, along with item 1 are show stoppers for me!

It’s trash. Entire game is in running for worst game ever .
