Realistic or not, to anyone outside of the US an automatic gearbox is something you try and persuade your grandad to use because he keeps grinding the gears in your car now that his clutch foot is a little shaky. It is something that people use because they have failed their driving test 5 times in a NORMAL car.
Why have such great European cars represented if you are going to mock their very existence by putting an automatic gearbox in them - something they would never even contemplate in reality. Did Ariel really license you using their name and associating it with an idiot box ?
Not havng the manual option has not only stopped me playing NFS MW, it has stopped me buying any future EA 'driving' game - be it realistic or not.
And, by the way, there is no such thing as a realistic computer game - they are GAMES , even the so-called simulator genres.
I have never owned an automatic, and never will. Automatics are for people that use a car solely for transportation because there is not another practical form. 'spirited' drivers, or drivers with adrenaline/thrill addiction use manuals because total control of your vehicle is the only way to drive.
Europeans may have more manuals because they are cheaper to purchase, and this is where your dislike (jealousy) of America comes in- because we created the modern world and economy you Europeans enjoy today and we have profited from it, and have more money to waste on luxuries. That, and our countrys unique system was revolutionary, and pose as the desire of all people (give or take a few things here and there).
European, or German I should say, has been the uncontested leader in automotive superiority.... That's no question, but I will say- America did create the muscle car, which hasn't been displaced for sheer insanity of untamed power in 50 years. So don't mock America, because most the world secretly wishes they were us, benefits from, or has more problems than us. Also, America is made from Europeans, and excelled because of it- and is populated by members of every nation on earth... So, get an education, or loose the jealousy-
By the way, forza is a realistic game.... And to say games shouldn't have a choice in transmission because its a game of some type is why games are beginning to blow dogs for quarters. Choice is what makes a game fun, and choice should be the only consistently growing aspect of games....
