Comment on Need for Speed: Most Wanted – The game that got me into racing

I miss racing games had real progression and plot lines. Are there any more recent big games that deliver on this? I had high hopes for the new Assetto Corsa, but sounds like they abandoned a progression system.
JDM: Japanese Drift Master does in a lot of ways, but you can burn through the story pretty fast, though I did still throughly enjoy it. The grip driving is kinda jank, and is pretty much unplayable with my wheel. But is a lot of fun to just drift around Japan with a controller in some heavily modified jdm legends

Have they improved the handling model in updates for JDM?
I played the demo over a year before release and was super excited for the full release as it handled somewhat like NFS: Underground 2 era which i was OK with.
Full release came around and I tried it out but something was just off and the handling model felt janky and horrible to me. Has it improved over time? I really want to play it to mod out some sweet JDM rides but just couldn’t stick with it that first try as it was just not fun to play.

I remember there being a major change to the handling like a month after release that was a big improvement, but I haven’t played in several months, so not sure if it’s changed further. But I can play some tomorrow and report back

Oh really? That is good to know and to be fair I was so pissed off after anxiously waiting for the release and then it being pushed back a few months to improve some stuff the disappointment hit me hard and I didnt look for any updates out of spite.
The only thing I’m glad of is that I tried out a pirate copy before dropping money as I just don’t trust game companies these days and my cautiousness was proved right again.
I might look for an updated repack this evening to try and give it a go with a newer version but I would appreciate an opinion too if you fancy playing some as I may not get time.
Thanks for the response!
