Drift
Drift is a driving style and apparently the developers missed this point, the NFS Payback drift is just awful
Forum Discussion
I don't think it's necessarily the "lack of" skill but rather the lack of skill required by Ghost's understanding of drift. Back when GRID 2 came out I held the world drift record for Tier 2 on Cote d'Azur and Hong Kong, but in games like Payback and The Crew I'm bloody awful at drifting.
Games like this reward zig-zagging to connect multiple smaller slides, it's closer to tafheet than drifting. Games like GRID 2 reward long, precise, high speed slides which is how real drifting works.
@mrtun3r Drift in Payback is terrible and not interesting, and I'm wondering whether the developers themselves read the forum EA/Ghost because this topic was raised more than once. Many people want to see high-quality and beautiful drift to enjoy driving
My main problem with drifting in Payback is that it seems to rely on a script to trigger. Which means that unless you're playing it on a quantum computer, there's a good chance that the car won't start drifting even though you did everything right. However this issue was actually worse in NFS 2015 so who knows, maybe they can get it to work correctly in the next game. Somehow, I bloody doubt it.
