During the first game I watched him in, Voracek was oozing the outrageous stickhandling finesse that had me sold on him in his draft year. He has size, he is fast, he will hit. What is missing? I’ll tell you, in one word: Finish. His finish sucks.

But the turnaround this season has been mindblowing as the D-Backs did the rare worst to first swing in the NL West, taking home the division crown with relative ease over last year’s World Series Champion San Francisco Giants.

It was an unbelievable showing for a dude that had only topped 30 goals once before. Perry’s shot total was up last season, but not dramatically so… he just scored way more often.

In terms of button mapping, there is little to complain about here with accelerating/braking assigned to the triggers and a boost initiated by pushing up on the left analog stick — you can also engage the emergency brake for quick turns and drifting by hitting “B.” Executing the basics feels a bit loose, though, and it seemed too easy for my car to skid out of control (and even harder to get it back under control) when travelling at higher speeds.

When you get to the wing positions, the reality is there are the top tiers and then it starts dropping pretty quickly. This does not mean that there is not potential below the upper tiers, it just means you may have to dig a bit more than usual.
