This always gets brought up, but Asphlat 8 is not a racing sim., but people expect it to be

People always assume you can compare Asphalt to games like Forza or Grand Turismo, but you can't its a different style since those games are Racing SIms and Asphalt is an Arcade Style game.

If you consider the differences of what stats are important in each game.

Arcade: Topspeed,Powersliding/Drifting Topspeed, Topspeed Topspeed, (maybe nitro if the game has it) -  more dependant on the car than driver's ability

Simulator: Accleration, Handeling, Proper racing lines, - More dependat on the drivers skill to get around the track.

People assume since they both involve cars, and tracks they're both suppose to be the same gameplay wise.

Asphalt is not ment to be realistic,its ment to be action oriented and its emphasis on the cars stats make it so a new car has to absolutely have better stats in order to be relevant, you don't have to spend as much time compared to a racing sim to get good at it.
