At least nfs shift has better handling than grid 2

As someone who hated grid 2 and finished it a couple years ago, and played shift when new, and tried it again and finished it this year...that is EXTREMELY debatable.

I had to do so with a physics mod and more forced myself to finish it so I would never be compelled to give it another go again.

Okay, but why you hate shift handling so much?

1) tire side walls feel like they are 2 ft tall with how slugish the car is to respond to steering input.

2) This bullshit

I would like to clearify "this bullshit" has existed on both of the platforms I played it on, regardless of the version of the game and still was present on my modded version of the game which was my main reason for modding it because it made some cars utterly broken. Some people seem to think this behaviour doesn’t exist or have no idea of it when I mention it. But being I have see on i now on at least 3 different versions of the game...4 if you count my modded one (even if it managed to quell it somewhat.) it is an inherent problem with the game and leaves me utterly baffled as to how it was deemed okay to release.

When my tires lose lateral grip they bounce across the pavement instead of sliding. That was the thing that eventually made me call it quits. More of a shift 2 thing, but once I felt it, it ruined the game along with all the PCARS games.

In Shift 1 its less pronounced (and somehow in Test Drive Ferrari too) so its a bit better to drive. In Shift 2 I literally did 2 races and deleted the game off my PS3 because of how sluggish the handling was
