Yes, yes, I know, playing racing sims with a controller is an instant fail. I have a wheel, I'm just lazy, nor do I have the space in my setup.
On to the point, this is something that I had a very big issue with in the Academy demo and it's certainly carried over to the final build of the game. For me, the steering is far too sensitive.
I have been playing various race sims, "simcade" and arcade racing games for the past 20+ years and cannot recall at any moment having a major issue with using a controller and still maintaining fine, delicate inputs. As I did in GT5, I set GT6's steering sensitivity to -2 and still I am twitching all over the place coming out of corners, drifts and powerslides, or even when making a slight adjustment to my line down a perfect straight no matter how lightly or how little I move the analog stick.
This is a major problem in my opinion as smoothness is absolutely key to being fast. The way it is now, I feel the gap between wheels and controllers is going to be much more apparent. Yes the wheel should be faster, but in every other single game I've played I've always been competitive, that's now gone out of the window for me. Not being able to smoothly control a very light slide is becoming increasingly frustrating for me, no matter how I try and deal with it.
A deadzone and linearity setting would help to fix this a lot, but the sensitivity range also needs to be able to go much lower. I used to get so many comments online about being a smooth driver especially for being on a pad, now I'm twicthing all over the place like a puppy on crack and the rear end is twerking like Miley Cirus. Is anybody else using the controller finding this an issue, or am I all alone with this problem?

. I drove with the DFGT since GT5P, but whenever I feel lazy I use my DS3. I'm quite used to both at default sensitivity settings with default button layout (x for gas). I've just gotten used to applying a steady amount of pressure when needed, being able to feather the steering and the throttle.
