This can get super annoying as it happens more often than it should. It feels just right, but sometimes when you are trying to drift, the AI will go out of its way to smash into you. The actual racing feels really good and one thing that I feel they nailed is the drifting. There are over 70 cars to drive and there are all kinds of cars ranging from fast sports cars, badass dragsters, and powerful off-road vehicles. It is way more arcadey than it is a sim and that is a good thing. The actual driving of Need for Speed Payback is really tight.
