Steering Delay
I saw that someone else asked this a while back and didn't get any replies so I'll ask again: Is the PS4 steering delay a design element or a settings problem? I am experiencing a lock to lock delay ...

Thank you for replying so quickly. I should have mentioned that the tv was already in game mode, it was on of the first things I checked after perusing the web for similar complaints.
I don’t *think* this is a refresh rate issue, it is observable even when there is no load on the system and the car is sitting still. It seems as though the game is set in keyboard mode and the analogue stick is being treated like a digital pad with no proportional input.
Thanks again for the assistance. I would really like to get this resolved. Aside from this frustration, I love the game - the graphics and, in particular the sounds, are outstanding. The V8 limping away at idle is practically musical.
I want to buy Heat but only if I can be certain I won’t be dealing with this situation.
I now believe this is actually a design element of the game. While I have been able to finish the main game storyline, it has been an exercise in frustration and this ridiculous artificial handicap heavily detracted from the enjoyment.
I cannot imagine why the developers thought this was a good idea, the game is certainly challenging enough without the added difficulty of crippling the steering, but after sampling some other versions of NFS it appears to be a common element throughout the franchise. I realize that I am in the minority of players who find this 'feature' undesireable after reading similar threads and seeing such immensely helpful replies as "git gud" and "I ran through on HARD and didn't even hit another car and blah blah blah", but I suspect there are quite a number of other potential customers who, upon finding the game beyond their abilities, simply returned the it and bought something else. I, for one, will not be purchasing Heat as I have had quite enough frustration.
