i remember when i was younger (not too long ago... im only 16) i would always throw on my microsoft sidewider wheel and play NFS:SE. it was a complete blast. and it was actually nfs carbon that got me into lfs and ultimately sims. i remember trying to drift on there thinking how shitty and unrealistic it was. so for me, if it was not for the nfs series. then i would never be where i am now as far as racing simulations. and i have nothing against the nfs games. they are not directed at the racing simulation enthusiast (pardon the spelling), they are directed at people that like to play a game in there spare time.
ps. actually i just got done playing nfs:u2, because im sixteen and im too ****ing broke to be able to go out and trick out any car of my liking.
so everyone that wants to descriminate against another person because they would like the best of both worlds (tricking out cars- realism and physics accuracy). you can pull your heads out of your asses and realise that everybody has a right to their own opinion.
