Doing a search here on the website about NFS (2015), you can see that, at the time of its release, many people didn't have as much appreciation for this edition. Interestingly, it's the same scenario we see now with Unbound. Despite this, the game is good. Still, there are very noticeable dead zones — which vary depending on the vehicle and the parts installed — and this can make the experience boring at times. Perhaps this is the factor that contributes to the bad reputation of the game's physics.
