$10 for paint jobs and a different spotter voice? REALLY?
I'm happy to pay $10-15 for DLC that includes vintage stock cars or the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour. I'd pay that much to get a collection of classic tracks, such as North Wilkesboro, Rockingham, Myrtle Beach, Mesa Marin and South Boston.
But $10 for paint jobs? That's theft. Shame, shame, shame.

I'd pay 10 bucks for a Legend drivers pack, but I'll never pay ANY cash for paint schemes...sorry :y9:
Is there no spotter voice in this pack? It wasn’t mentioned above
Also... where’s the new paint booth scheme and logos? That’s what I want to see. There’s already more paint schemes in the game than I’ll ever use
Give us the option to buy something useful at least.
That being said. Yeah. The price for what you’re getting is a bit much. But they did last year release an awful lot of schemes. You’re better to buy the season pass or whatever they call it. But,asi said. At some point t, likely for everyone there’s a such thing as too many paint schemes. Last year it didn’t bother me because it was only the cup series and not many extras shipped with the game. This year we have three series and extra schemes that shipped with the game. So don’t get me wrong I appreciate it... but the cost is too much because the value just isn’t there. I need something more useful.

I purchased the season pass so thankfully it's all paid for - but I understand people's frustration with the price tag.
It'd be nice if when you take on a car you got the option to pick your paint before the race - does that happen if you take a ride with multiple options? Also, it'd be REALLY nice if when you took over a # that the name on the back window changed or disappeared... kinda ruins the fun when it's someone else's name on your car. It's one of the reasons I run custom when I can.
Really hoping they add some custom paint booth logos and options. That's sorta why I bought the DLC.
I would like if they would add retired drivers like Jeff Burton, J Gordon and others though.

The original list with this post wasn't what it is now.
I think that's quite alot of content for the $10 now seeing everything that's in it.
However, that being said, the usefulness of the content isn't that huge still.
All the DLC
Yeah, I'm regretting the DLC as well. The alt schemes are very nice but as far as actual in career gameplay I'm going to see them for a zoom second, at best, and then that is that.
A few ways I'd like to see the DLC's improve:
1.) alt schemes are nice but we need to be able to see them - improve the pre-race so we can see them, make a big deal out of a driver running an alt scheme, and improve the replay so we can take a look after the race. Replay is clunky.
2.) Allow us to take on a car and have access to all the schemes for that car on any race. As well, we have to get rid of the other driver's name on the back window - many of us stare at the back window every race, all race... and it says someone else's name. Real immersion killer.
3.) Better yet, allow users access to all the car schemes in the custom shop. If we want to be the new driver of the STP car, let us have it with our number. Once we claim it, it's ours until we change scheme.
4.) Give us some more base templates in custom car, and WAY more sponsors... and by way more I mean any that are in the game we should be able to utilize in custom car. And let us put on a lot more sponsors, too.
5.) Other DLC content could be things like Momentum or engineering tweaks or in game tweaks like, I dunno, you have a perfect pit chip and you can cash it in sometime when you want, or a speed boost you can use during qualifying somewhere along the line, or a 'peace' card you can use to cool off a rival, or a 'lucky break' that we can use to move up a few spots after qualifying or play on an opponent so they qualify poorly in a big race. Give us some tweaks and strategy pieces to play along the way.
They've done a beautiful job with the car art, but we don't have many ways to interact and enjoy the art. I mean, I paid $30 for DLC and it came out today and my career mode is basically unchanged right now. There's no value added. My gaming experience today is going to be basically the exact same as it was last night.
I'm also not a fan of Mods in Forza, either. Cheap parlor tricks. Learn to drive. Learn to tune. Learn to race.
Paint jobs NEVER should form the basis of racing game DLC. That's nothing more than theft by the developers.
Meaningful DLC for NASCAR Heat 2 would include classic tracks such as South Boston, Mesa Marin, Rockingham and North Wilkesboro, and classic drivers and cars through the eras. Those are the only things worth the money.
Rant over! :)

Then don't use it. But maybe somebody else will find value with that as content. I don't use those items in FIFA, but I know they're available and some people might like them.
All this 'earn it' type of talk is always a headscratcher for me. There's a ton of gamers with more money than time - offline modes are for everyone to interact and enjoy their game, their way. As a community we should want more, even when it's not for us. I could understand having an issue with prioritizing thses kinds of additions - but to ask developers not to include something b/c we won't use it, or we have a different philosophy of gaming... I don't get that. If some ten year old noob wants a pass to pole position or some 50 yr old construction worker who only has time to play for a half hour a week wants a shortcut - their offline experience doesn't impact you. Let em' play their game. What's the old adage, "You don't give a kid a toy and then tell em' how to play with it."
Per twitter, they know of the issue and are working on it.
Thank you.
