Deadzone Settings:

Deadzones determine how far you need to move your analog sticks before the game registers input. Lower deadzones offer more responsiveness but can lead to accidental inputs if your controller has drift. Higher deadzones provide more stability but can feel less sensitive.

  • Steering Deadzone: Affects how sensitive steering is.
  • Aerial Deadzone: Affects aerial control and car movement in the air.
  • Dodge Deadzone: Affects the sensitivity of double-jump dodges.

Experiment with these settings to find what feels most comfortable and effective for your playstyle.
