I like that the car's handling has improved in GTA V, but they still haven't added proper drifting physics. Even with the slidey cars cheat enabled, it's still tough to initiate and maintain a drift. One of my biggest problems with GTA IV and V was that it is literally impossible to properly execute a drift around a 90 degree turn. You either don't get enough angle, or you do a 180 and crash into something.
What makes it even harder is forced automatic transmission. Yes, it would be very hard to implement a manual transmission in a game like this, but without it, I can't stay in the proper gear to drift. I go into a turn that should be taken in 3rd, and the game shifts up automatically. Game, don't hinder me. Help me.
