All of the mixed opinions are understandable because it is definitely a good sim engine tied up in a flashy package with some of the usual NFS stuff we&#039;ve learned to hate with the street racing games.<br /> <br /> I&#039;m going to make this short because I haven&#039;t played it yet today (haha, yeah, addicted)...<br /> <br /> I don&#039;t care how perfect GT5 looks. I don&#039;t care how 100% accurate the physics are in FM3, GT5, or Shift...nothing has felt more immersive to me than this game. There&#039;s a one-make race where you drive an Elise 111R (its provided to you, even, you don&#039;t have to go buy all these) on the Aremburg (sp?) section of Nurburgring. Mind you, I previously did a hotlap challenge where I was provided a Miata, so they should feel kinda the same, right? They do in every other game. Oh boy. The Miata has nothing on the Elise for balance and composure. And as you cross into triple digits, the car is bouncing all around you, you feel the tires hopping as you make gentle bends, at 110mph the interior gets fuzzy and your peripheral vision blurs. Only what is straight ahead of you is clear. And at 135mph, not even what lies ahead is fully focused. Then your tire drops off the edge of the track, into grass, and you&#039;re suddenly sliding out of control onto walls.<br /> <br /> <br /> Its a blast. Found a few bugs though. There&#039;s a Veyron race around the entire Ring. Its pretty much impossible to keep up and on the track. But anyway, I let everyone get ahead of me just to drive around the circuit and the top speed of the Veyron is messed up. Hits 192mph in sixth gear, shift into seventh gear and...hit 192mph. The tachometer doesn&#039;t move. </div> <div class="bbCodeBlock-expandLink js-expandLink"><a role="button" tabindex="0">Click to expand...</a></div> </div> </blockquote><br /> I&#039;ve driven the Bugatti and man is this one difficult car to tame it&#039;s so powerful you&#039;re at speed before you know it and then you&#039;re fighting to keep it on the track. Looks like I&#039;ll be spending more time with this race</div>

I just turned down the pedal sensitivity and increased the steering response. Helped quite a bit. I started with an S14 and was dreadful at first (Pro all assists off). But, I have the hang of it now. Upgrading the brakes and tires help a TON as well. The stock tires are extremely slippery which means absolutely no trail braking, straight lines only. After upgrading the tires I could trail brake a bit, which fit my style.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Oh man, first impressions are that this isn&#039;t NFS anymore. This is a damn good sim with all the assists off. <br /> <br /> And first race, I got exactly the same time as the guy in first.

<div class="bbWrapper">After playing a few more games online, I&#039;m starting to think that people with pro physics and no aids on have an advantage. I&#039;ve raced 3 ranked and several unranked matches, and have smoked everyone but 1 guy off of the line. You definitely get a better take off without traction control, alot better take off, and it seems you can go through turns faster without the stability control. I can start in last in a 6 car race and easily get to the front by the first turn. <br /> <br /> I&#039;m also not the best driver in the world, I&#039;m in the 3rd class silver on GT5p in here, and I have been pulling away from people non stop. The only race I haven&#039;t dominated was my last one, and it was because I didn&#039;t see someone on my inside at the spa on one of the first turns and they spun me. <br /> <br /> This game might benefit you online in pro mode and no assists, how great would that be. I&#039;m not positive about this, maybe I&#039;ve gotten lucky and raced a bunch of first time sim style racers that thought this was another need for speed game, but most of them were at least the same level or higher then me. <br /> <br /> What I need to do is take a few laguna laps in both modes and see. I just can&#039;t get myself to turn on the aids, and dumb down the physics.</div>

All of my cars seem perfectly capable of spinning out. I can sometimes flick them into a low-angle four-wheel-drift, if that&#039;s what you mean.<br /> <br /> Edit: Oh, and with AWD cars, don&#039;t bother getting the &quot;Perfect Launch&quot;. Pin the throttle and hit it from redline, you&#039;ll spin for a second, then hook up and blast forward far faster than the game&#039;s recommended launch.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">I just got the game, and I have to say, I&#039;m impressed. I love EVERYTHING about it, except a couple of things: it seems like the cars tend to swirl a lot, like they always want their rear-end out.

<div class="bbWrapper">I&#039;ve found a few bugs so far:<br /> <br /> - In Quick Race, Drift, there&#039;s no engine sounds. <br /> <br /> - Some races in Tier 3 have a very loud, annoying static noise during races. No other game or sets of races have this problem.<br /> <br /> - A.I sometimes gets stuck on a wall after crashing. <br /> <br /> - FFB randomly cuts off, however this has only happened twice.<br /> <br /> - The wheel moves with the car on replay mode when it hits a rumble strip.<br /> <br /> - The wheel sometimes does a full spin after a race, and when you start off the race the car will fly off to the side.<br /> <br /> <br /> Also a few nitpicks - <br /> <br /> - A.I is overly aggressive, annoying when you&#039;re driving a CCX at the edge with a Veyron up your trumpet.<br /> <br /> - Oversteer seems to be locked to a degree, as somebody stated earlier.<br /> <br /> - Menus are very slow and laggy.<br /> <br /> - Some tracks are just epic lag, especially I found the London tracks. Having about 8 Astons crash into each other is misery.<br /> <br /> - Driving line is rubbish.<br /> <br /> - You have to stick to the driving line to &#039;master corners&#039;, even though the driving line isn&#039;t always the quickest or most logical way. <br /> <br /> - Too many badges and things to unlock, too many numbers. So far all I know is my level, other than that the numbers mean nothing.<br /> <br /> - No adjustable controls.<br /> <br /> - Too many &#039;points&#039;</div>

Unpause. There still won&#039;t be any. Now hit restart. 👍<br /> <br /> Edit: Once that NFS:s subforum comes out (if it is), I&#039;d be happy to keep a Nurburgring leaderboard. Might do up to 3 tracks if we can settle on what to keep track of.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Ah don&#039;t worry, they just happen to start working. <br /> <br /> Is anybody else having trouble with EA right now? So far for me there&#039;s absolutely no way to complain about any of these problems, EA website won&#039;t load, EA forums won&#039;t load, NFS website won&#039;t load, basically anything to do with the EA profile won&#039;t load, etc. This also means the Photomode on PS3 is pointless. And before anyone blames my PC, I&#039;ve tried from the PS3, a different computer, proxies, different browsers, the lot. On that note, can anybody else log in to any of the EA sites?</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">OK... need some clarifications:<br /> <br /> 1) There&#039;s no chance at all to configure button controls?<br /> 2) I&#039;ve understand that you can turn off HUD. Will turn off all those crappy badges, point bars on top, etc. (in sum... all those arcadish nonsense), from popping off while driving?<br /> 3) Are the races ridiculous short as in GT5<img src="/wp-content/themes/gtp16/images/smilies/tongue.svg?v=3" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":P" title="Tongue :P" data-shortname=":P" /> (max. 5 laps), or are there more endurance races?<br /> 4)Is there a championship mode (like for example creating a GT championship that covers a series of tracks in a point system)?<br /> 5) Oversteering - last comments on that have &quot;scared&quot; me and can be a turn off on buying this: Are all cars really oversteering or not?<br /> 6) Complete damage mode - does it affect car handking or is just rubbish?<br /> 7) Speed blurring can be set off (as someone said earlier it could at least on PC version)?<br /> <br /> Thanks in advance</div>
