Crash Cam & Physics Are Over-Dramatized

Product: Need for Speed: Unbound
Platform:PlayStation 5
Summarize your bug During a crash (traffic or wall) the physics just go wild. The car is ought to flip, no matter how ridiculous that looks. Kills immersion and makes for a good cause for frustration. Furthermore, crash cams are annoying and not fun. There should be a way to disable them and keep camera straight.
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Crash into traffic or wall on a moderately slow speed.
What happens when the bug occurs? Car is likely to do a spectacular flip or something similar, not really matching the speed and (visual) energy of the impact. Just looks over-dramatized.
What do you expect to see? Something similar what happens in Nee

Here are a few instances I recorded personally:

There are also a few mentions of that on Reddit (r/needforspeed). Here is what I found: https://www.reddit.com/r/needforspeed/comments/z9klfd/man_what_is_this_game_doing_lmao_this_mf_fire_but/

    After playing the game a bit longer I noticed that this aspect of the game is one of the most (if not the most) frustrating. Especially in the online, where you strive to be competitive. It breaks focus, concentration not to say immersion.

    Here is another video demonstrating the issue. Me sideswiping a traffic car causes a spectacular flip of the car: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzBU1y5pCBk

    It just gets ridiculous how smallest collisions send you flying. And it seems like flipping the car in the air is a mandatory response to a crash from the game. I get it, it looks spectacular at a glance. But when you keep seeing these over and over again (lets be honest: everybody crashes) it gets old pretty fast.

    Yep the „physics“ in this game are broken as hell.

    You can feel in every second of unbound that this from the burnout developer.

    I can‘t believe how bad this game is
