What on earth is going on with the drifting?! What was the need to change this from the fun and enjoyable physics of Payback. So disappointed, I was expecting Need for Speed and instead ended up with The Crew (in terms of drifting).
Ahah, I was not trying hard. This race was a ballad. From what I see, Drift in NFS Heat is much more a powerslide than actual drift.
I only use the handbrake for tight corners.
The car will loose traction once you turn in the corner, this is the moment where you have to steer in the opposite direction and rapidly steer left/right so your car can keep sliding.
Im planning to get 3 stars on every challenge and I tried REALLY hard for a drift challenge (100k points).
I think you should approach the drift mechanics in NFS Heat differently. It's not Payback.
Now you have to take into account the angle of your car, the corner curves, the speed etc.
The Evo 08 smashes drift challenges with ease got 137,000 points on the raceway drift course and can average between that and 100,000 every time.
Used this car to 3 star all the drift traps within a day.
Have also managed similar scores using the subaru wrx and underground 350z.
Running a dual turbo, showcase suspension, drift tires, 7 speed gearbox and a showcase differential.
I really think that drift is way easier with AWD.
Lancer Evo IX & X, Subaru are 4WD cars.
Theres 2 options for drifting braking and accelerating
Quote, you Stated: Theres 2 options for drifting braking and accelerating
Response:
I would typically agree with you on your statement but NFS Heat is not a typical game when it comes to drifting.
Hence why everyone is complaining about it here on the forums including myself.
If it was just brake and gas accelerating we all would be doing just fine in my opinion.
However, the game is not that simple for drift.
Have a great day.
The braking option is more realistic acceleration is more for speed, i think the drifting is good just depends on setup up and race type really
No that’s not the answer he asked for. But it really goes back to NFS 2015. There was in. I way shape or form any drifting related should have been changed or taken out of any future NFS games. The Drift events were the best out of any NFS title, you could drift against players, multiple players, still had the single events if you wanted, you had the king of the mountain speedlist to see who was best at each event a goal to try to push for top spot. Then they go down to one type of event a completely stupid design call Ghost should never have been around to make Heat should have been ousted right then and there. You don’t step backwards when your making franchise game and they did so in every aspect from 2015 to Payback. Smaller map less events a story so pathetic you had to mute speech remove subtitles and just ignored screen until it was time to just drive it was that puss poor of a story (heats’ no better). No story thank you since designers are morons about it, just a career mode thank you, 24 hr clock no picking night and that’s bloody * that guy who decided on that fire him blackball him from industry he is an idiot. 24 hour clock day races are legit with no traffic no cops point scoring in an association of racers, But when in free drive there’s still free roam cops acting like cops should 24-7 speed by they chase. When sun goes down Cops still the same but then there’s the underground race scene where you race against traffic and cops during events. If you get busted at anytime not just a fine that car impounded, length determined by level chase ends in and how much of fine your getting 24-48-72-96hrs or which game had you lose your after three strikes to it within a short amount of time? Like that. There is no need for no scooby doo queer * storyline like they’ve carried from Payback to Heat. Hopefully Criterion goes back to the better drifting, not this guessing game of which mix match parts will make your chosen car actually drift. The only cars that respond as they should to your stick commands are the AWD cars everything else is utter chaos and a fight it’s impossible to have a perfect drift line your in the grass drifting and scoring too easily is pathetic this game made it to production but hey they had there legacy sales guaranteed and that’s all they cared about. Not a single car person on the entire NFS development team for sure cause they all are complete morons to put crap out on shelves like these past two games. Glad there * got fired they deserved it. Sit unemployed ghost losers you ruined dam game for far too many years.
It does could commenting on AWD car drifting as they are the only cars that respond as they should in regards to your stick commands. Every other car is just utter chaos and the live tune settings you put on to make getting three stars possible make no sense and would not be how you would tune a drift car. Mix matching parts is stupid across the board if it’s a drift part it should actually do what it says not completed make car act like your driving on ice and your going extreme 90 degree to opposite 90 degree drift completely through a course that’s not what is was in previous games. 2015 NFS drifting events and engine should not have been tweeked touched changed nothing ghost are morons and deserved to have * fired hope they sit unemployed forever.
