controller drifting....BLASPHEMY!!!
J/k. I am a G25 user, a few weeks ago i was just messing around and trying to drift with the DS3. Last time i did it i was EASILY able to blast through the Suzuka East S-turns sideways no problem. Very easy to correct with the controller. But on this occassion i kept spinning out i could NOT hold a drift. It seemed with the controller the counter-steer was a LOT slower and i wasn't able to hold as much angle etc. Not sure if the last update changed the controller physics or feel. But it was before the last update that i was ripping on the DS3.
Didn't mean to go too off topic. Drift on either with a controller or wheel we all have the same interest/passion.

Really, usually its faster counter-steering with a controller because there is less distance to travel for opposite lock than with a wheel.

Yes i agree, which is why i was trying to see if the current update changed the steering physics. I could not counter-steer for the life of me with the controller. I use the Analog stick, dont know why anyone would use the d-pad, but it would just counter steer SLOOOOW. Like i could see myself holding it and the wheels slowly turning.
Ex. Hold the analog stick all the way left, and i could SEE the wheels taking their time to catch up to full steering Lock. I gave up plugged my G25 in and was smiling again
.I am not rich, but i Do work 40hrs a week. To me this game is only at 75-80% without a 900* wheel. ESPECIALLY for drifting. I am a hardcore drift fan and car enthusiast, and when i can i attempt to Drift in real life. Games like Gt5p and Live For Speed are my fix for when i can't afford to be drifting my real car.
👍 I also checked the steering angle, which i always set at 50 for drifting and it was correct. -Robert
[edit]-maybe my controller was malfunctioning. As i mentioned i drifted a while back with the DS3 and it was very easy to counter-steer. Just tapping it in the direction of the counter-steer. It was able to fly through those S-turns on Suzuka. I will try again tonight for the fun of it and post back my results!

It's a playstation and PC/Computer wheel. It actually works a LOT better with Live for Speed than it does for GT5p. Live for speed clutch and force-feedback are a lot better, but that is because the game is designed to utilize the G25 potential better.
👍Hopefully full GT5 will extract the potential of the G25. It's a fine wheel, and it's FAR from the most expensive. But for a hardcore sim/race enthusiast there's no other way to go (for the cost).

It's not the controller malfunctioning. For the fun of it, I also tried drifting with the controller a couple months ago, and the countersteering felt incredibly slow! It was just painful to drift with. Wasn't hard at all after you take a good 10 minutes of getting used to it, but man did it feel slow.

you're right, i tried it again...and MAN was it horrible (for me anyways) I could not do decent drifts with the controller. I was coming up short on most of my drifts. Not under-steering, but over-steering too much, the back would swing around and the counter-steer couldn't compensate to drift to the outside of the turns, kept aiming/heading towards the inside. Very annoying. Plugged my g25 back in and MAN was i tearing it up. Funny how now i can only drift with the wheel...and not with the DS3

Im used to the Pad I guess...
Havent drifted much as I got MCLA lol (also some CoD5 to kill)
Turning reaction on the pad is very slow compared to my friends DFP. I really need a wheel, but Im playing cheap

I will add my 2 cents. I play with a DFP all the time. Not the greatest at it but I'm pretty damn good I think. Well last night it was getting late and the wheel was making a bit to much noise. So I decided to use the DS3. What a piece of cake it is to drift with the controller. My lines were all a little off, but it was so easy.
The controller allows for a lot faster countersteer, so you can pull off huge angle drifts!
For those of you who say you can't drift with a controller, I'm not sure you fully grasp the concept of drifting. Drifting is all the same no matter how you do it.
