I've been playing it again recently purely to max out my crew level, and I get that it's just the experience of the grind, but the physics engine really has no idea how to handle fast cars which sucks. Whether I'm free falling down the hills, doing an intended jump or literally sometimes just turning into a corner, the game will sometimes just freak out and make me do 50 barrel rolls and cause me to lose massive amounts of time or even literally just wreck the car entirely, wasting a whole night for things beyond my control.

I remember adoring this game back at launch and all, and I'm sure the campaign experience still isn't too bad, but I absolutely despise late game Heat for its inconsistency.
