Driving physics

Please tell me you all fixed the driving physics in the game. The last one if you put it on grip drove like a brick with massive under steer, or on drift like the car was on ice. Most of the cars all had the same driving characteristics, so I'm wondering have you made any changes to the physics of the game to make the driving more enjoyable?

    Did you not adjust the balance and tires used? I did this until I found a balance that worked with the speed of the car I was using and it worked great for me. 

  • The drift and grip tires increased or decreased the slip angle of the tires. If you want a car to turn, less slip up front more in the rear. If the car is too icy on drift tires then take away slip from the rear. Vice versa for the grips. Usually.... Most cars run really well on NFS with tire pressures (2015) between center and 3 to the left for racing.

    While it's possible to get cars to work, it's frustrating getting them there and even then the physics aren't the most fun in the world. I'll still play Payback if it has 2015 physics, but I'll admittedly be disappointed.

    So far though, Ghost seems to listen to us. So I'm thinking the physics will be addressed. I mean back when the Shift series was current, Slightly Mad made changes between 1 and 2 which really improved the game so I definitely see Ghost cleaning things up as well.

    We've made some changes to the handling, expect more thoughts to start hitting the internet when people play the game at EA Play next week!

  • Question: Is it possible to tweak physics post launch, if there are still issues? The only thing stopping me from buying NFS 2015 was the driving physics, as Underground 2 even had better physics. 

    I am happy to hear that they have been changed though, hopefully its a lot.

    Ya, I kept hoping they would be fixed in an update in the last game...didnt happen. Also the story and characters were horrible, looks like this one might be better in that respect
  • @whitetiger777347 Don't sweat it...the new game is gonna be awesome!

    You won't want to leave the game with all the hot cars and fast racing!!!

    Don't forget your bag of chips and soda pop....eat and race = win win win.

    I'm being silly but serious all in the same answer......kudos points for you man!
