Man NFS Heat is disappointing...

After seeing EA Play added to gamepass I was stoked to try a modern NFS game having not played any since underground (apart from the The Run which was amazing and underrated).

I wasn't expecting anything as good as underground but I thought it would be good arcadey fun and amazing graphics.

First shock was that it looks awful! 30fps looks especially bad in a racing game and everything still looks 360-gen. I thought NFS (and EA in general) pride themselves on visuals? The character models while not essential to a racing game looked embarrassing. The Run looked incredible for its time.

Of course visuals aren't everything. The game is also horrible to play. Why does feathering the gas send you into a complete momentum-halting drift?!

Maybe Forza Horizon has spoiled me but this was just shockingly bad.
