Lo descargué anoche y quise continuar mi progreso guardado, probé el drift y a diferencia de la versión anterior, pensé que había descargado el archivo corrupto y al actualizar con esta nueva versión el drift mejoró, volvió a su estado original, es algo complicado aveces pero es fácil en si, así que el juego quedó bien luego de esta versión actual!

I was really excited to play for the first time NFS Carbon online, but I ran into some major issues. The HUD elements are too close to the car and feel misplaced. Drift races are ridiculously difficult because the AI is way too strong, making progression frustrating. On top of that, the police are much tougher than in the base game, making pursuits feel unfair.

I don’t want to uninstall the mod and lose online mode, but these problems need fixing ASAP!
