User:Unknwnc /Asphalt 8 Veteran's Guide to Asphalt 9

Why
Asphalt 9 is a very different game from Aspahlt 8. All the micro-optimizations that made you fast in Asphalt 8 will generally not make you fast in Asphalt 9.

For those who would rather read about the (many) differences, rather than play and figure out, I am leaving a list of them here.

Car Handling
Cars take forever to accelerate, and everything slows you down. Everything includes: This, in addition to very nerfed nitro, means races are no longer about camping out at top speed and taking the shortest line possible. You will slow down considerably in corners, and taking a smoother line can let you carry more speed. To get a feel for changes, it is surprisingly advisable to follow the tutorials and go slow.
 * Drifting
 * Turning too hard
 * Driving off road
 * Hitting obstacles
 * Doing the new-fangled 360s
 * Do some races with the disgusting TouchDrive. See what lines it takes, where it loses speed.
 * Run a lower steering sensitivity, and get a feel for how to turn your car.
 * Do races without touching nitro. You must first master the basics.
 * Upgrade your skillz before upgrading your car. Like in Asphalt 8, you should be able to beat the Career mode AIs from a solid margin below recommended rank.
