Re: Drifting Broken NFS Heat

I honestly cannot believe and understand why they have changed the drifting physics from Payback. The reason i really enjoyed payback was because of the ability to drift and to hold that drift while maintaining speed, the whole mechanics were so much better than what it is now. It was also a lot more responsive than Heats version of drifting. I think NFS have taken a huge step back in terms of drifting, it has definitely ruined the experience for me.

Need for Speed/Ghost or whoever it is, i hope you see this response because the drifting issue needs to be sorted ASAP!

They changed the drifting because break to drift (payback) drifting is too simple and requires NO SKILL. It was one of the most requested features to be removed from NFS as a whole. Sorry but you are out of luck waiting for that to return. I agree the drifting needs some tweaking but you can forget about easy drifting going forward.

You can actually change it back to brake drifting in the live tuning.(So much better)
I had heaps of trouble drifting in the beginning but If you find the right car and the right setup Drifting is just as easy(if not too easy).
Having a full drift setup(Tyre, Suspension) is a must. It slows you down in races but for drift events it is perfect.
My perfect drift car is a Acura NSX(the new one) and it is super easy to drift and control it just like in previous games(except with less speed though). I'd say the drifting feels more rewarding but you aren't gonna be drifting for those long stretches in races so this is exclusively a drifting setup.
