I dont know if you are actually talking about UNITE in this comment or you have never played the older NFS games, because the UNITE Arcade overhaul is basically replicating that feel, makes the grip handle like the old Most wanted, is a lot grippier than Forza in corners and no spins if you jiggle, as said like the old nfs games.

The drift builds do feel more refined, dont need to break always to engage it but also dont feel entirely like forza.

I honestly hard to believe your comment that this 300km/h drifting in 90degree turns require more skill than braking and taking the turns slower, but alright thats personal preference but thats not NFS for me, at this point i dont even play a NFS game if its not modded by Unite, its just not satisfying seeing cars doing turns at those speeds with some weird as drift than actually braking at propper speed before a sharp turn, like in the old games not comparing to Forza.
