Need for Speed Racing Games

I installed the new patch for my PS3 today and now I can't seem to control a car in a drift

when I pull away it turns to the right, it won't stay in a drift for long enough to get round a corner before the back end slides round to far and the revs drop way too much now

is anyone else having trouble? i did just restart my save when it updated so maybe its my settings arent right but it wont explain the drop in revs.

any ideas? drifting used to be my favorite thing but now it sucks

Hmmm... haven't tried drifting yet. Will give it a try when I can. BTW, what on earth is the patch for?
