Axis by axis
Execution7 vs 8
Hyper Sports leans harder on execution: Button-mashing speed and precise timing define every event
Reads1 vs 1
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance3 vs 2
FlatOut 2 leans harder on variance: Crash physics and track debris vary every race
Optimization4 vs 4
Even - both lean on optimization about the same.
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
