Axis by axis
Execution6 vs 8
Project CARS leans clearly harder on execution.

snap timing and throwing precision
Project CARS
Braking points and wheel control at the sim limit
Reads2 vs 2
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
NCAA College Football 2K3
scripted CPU defense, not adaptive
Project CARS
Online racecraft against humans adds light positional prediction
Variance2 vs 2
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
