Re: Drifting a massive step back from Payback!

Yeah I know but i'm sure it's just a tune issue. 

I might wanna take a look for parts. Maybe the 350Z has already a nice drift base and doesn't need more drift parts. I've unlocked the 350Z from U2 after completing the drift missions. 

I've just added engine parts and keep the Road parts for tyres, diff and standard live tune. The car handled way better than with drift parts.

Also, 4WD cars can handle way better. That's maybe why it's easier to drift with this car than the 350Z.

I might wanted take a look at this feature. RWD vs 4WD. 4WD are more likely to drift with ease. 

@H0lyb33r 

It's Early in the game for many players and drift is simply Garbage.

Regardless if 4WD or RWD cars.

Performance and parts improve the racing abilities but I have not so far seen improvement in drift events. 

I'll keep everyone updated on my progress as I play around with what other people have mentioned here in this thread. 

Have a great day. ☑️😁

Na, it's not garbage. 

I can't let you say that. It's different with different mechanics.

I would even say that the drift is way more closer to Underground 2 drift race. 

Drift in the Crew 2 was garbage but in NFS, I find it's pretty good (depending on the car)

@H0lyb33r 

I will agree that the drifting is similar to Underground 2 drift.

However the mechanical ability is night and day difference between the two games.

Underground 2 had it all correctly constructed.

NFS Heat is very unforgivable in performance in drift regardless of set up this far for many players.

Now as I stated in other posts.

I am going to keep trying to get my settings and adjustment worked out in time.

I'll be back with my theory's and let the community know what I discovered.

Have a great day. ☑️😁

No worry, I'll send you a video of me drifting, you'll be surprised how easy it can be. 🙂

Not trying to say you're wrong but have you ever tried drifting on a game like Forza? I feel that when comparing the drifting from Forza to NFS, forza has it comepletely sorted. 

NFS on the other hand, makes drifting feel like more of a fast handbrake turn (in Payback and NFS 2015 especially). Personally, I think that drifting is getting better, it's no where near perfect, but it's getting better. 

Yes I did and still do.

I've been playing Forza Motorsport 2 and I was drifting with cars, trying to get the right setup while the game was not made for drifting.

I own FM6, FM7, FH4 (completed all the drift challenge and Im only playing with the ABS).

The thing is, Forza Motorsport is made by a studio who own  the franchise for 15 years. They only did racing games and only Forza. I can them credit for the mastering the drift thing.

Ghost Games made 4 games. The main difference is that Turn 10 is a sub-studio from Microsoft and Ghost Games is a former studio from EA. Big difference. 

@H0lyb33r 

I'll be looking forward to seeing your video.

then maybe I'll have a different opinion to this conversation. 

@JGriff867 

Hey, Brother, I would just like to add one comment to your nice post.

Forza VS NFS are two worlds apart in many ways.

Drifting in this conversation would be Forza is light years ahead in drift functionality and form than NFS in my opinion! 

Have a great day.

Kept my promise, here is how I drift with my car. Sorry for the framerate, i recorded through x1 and then uploaded on onedrive. Didn't bother to record the whole race (you can't record more than 2 mins). I ended the race with 450 000 points with a 249 IP car.

Note that i did it on the first after getting back from work so there are many corners where i could done better.

@H0lyb33r 

Thanks for the video as you promised.

I appreciate the effort in the drift showcase you created here.

Sadly I could hear just how hard you were gasing the car and hand braking to make those drifts.

The car sounded like it was ready for a long nap as you started to drift.

The exhaust told me a lot about how hard you're working the car.

Now you did have a decent run I'll give you some credit,

but it's not as good like in old school NFS when drift was way more fun and simple.

If you enjoy this new kind of Drift, I wish you all the fun and enjoyment you desire.

As for myself only, I can't say I have come to enjoy this new set up for drift in the game.

I guess I'll just have to keep practicing and adjuting to setups after each drift run I do.

Thank you and have a nice day. 

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.
