Stop trying to be Burnout
What is wrong with EA? No one wants thses physics, everyone has been asking for a NFS title that resembles the old underground and most wanted and in your attempt to do so you guys completely ignore t...

A lot of people completely dismiss this by saying, "It's an arcade racer, not a simulator" Yes, Need For Speed is an arcade racer,
BUT, arcade racers don't have to mean drifting around every turn to go faster. There are many great arcade racers of both current and previous time where grip is the fastest way to go around corners:
-ALL the Need For Speed games before 2009
-Test Drive: Unlimited 1 & 2
-Project Gotham Racing series
-Blur
-The Crew
-Driveclub
And more...
...But I personally think people should talk about more examples than just the Forza Horizon series and select Need For Speed games. Perhaps Ghost (Ghost games develop the games, EA are the publishers) will be more likely to listen if people mention more than, "FORZA HORIZON" or "UNDERGROUND" and "MOST WANTED 2005" and "CARBON" (Not to say they weren't great games)
Edit 6/13/2017: Some people have also been saying that you couldn't drift in the old Need For Speed games, at least when you're not in a dedicated drift mode with different physics. I can prove that to be false by showing you some videos:
-Drifting in Underground 2 Freeroam was fairly doable, you just had to get a powerful enough car, turn traction control off, and avoid spinning out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcqqxYxHvXc
-Drifting in Most Wanted 2005 was much more doable AND a bit more accessible. All you had to do was get a powerful car and tune it as shown in the tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_x2DTwxzMIY
-Drifting in Carbon Freeroam was very similar to Most Wanted 2005, but this time, the easiest way to do it is with a muscle car. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrfLj8kkGuM
-According to this video, you can also drift in Prostreet Grip races: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AB8g-9rDl_I
-Even Undercover allows you to drift: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VeX2tspkVZw
Drifting in those games is fun because it's not the fastest way of turning around a corner, so you're not forced to do it.
When you make drifting the fastest way around the corner AND make it earn you Nitrous, it takes the fun out of drifting, and punishes anyone that wants to use grip around a corner.
I don't care how easy the drifting is, as long as I can go around a corner faster without drifting.
- I think the reason why I and so many people bring up the Forza Horizon series is because in my opinion they have done it the best while other games like you mentioned The Crew and DriveClub it's still extremely difficult to actually control your drift,what you end up with is just a power slide instead of a actual drift that you can control and actually link into another drift. Ofcourse the Horizon game gives you the ability to use more or less grip tires and I'm assuming that's the biggest problem with most games,they only give you a specific tire for that car and with most games you can't change it. The NFS devs really needs to engage more with their fans to better dial in their physics instead of giving us this embarrassment they call improved physics.
It's really sad to see this because they clearly have the ability to do better looking back at the Pro Street and Shift days, I completely forgot that they took a year off for this game and this is the result,this makes me even more upset.hey all, you can turn brake to drift off just like you could in 2015, however you can now turn when you select it off and put it on grip.
- You do know you can just turn off brake to drift right. Its in the live tuning as traction control.
