Was wondering why the focus is mainly only on Racer Career and Customizations ? I loved and still play NFS Rivals simply because you can drive around and battle each other, Race each other or battle together. The option to take on a Cop Career and advance to unlock custom modifications to your Cruiser/Patrol Car seems just as appealing as the Racer Career. I mean, we live in a world of good and evil and what is better than running away from a real Cop car driven by an actual player than rubber banding AI that becomes predictable and "stupid" . Just a suggestion .. Cops always been part of NFS and I'd love to see a Cop Career parallel to a Racer Career with the new graphics and Physics 🙂

If there's a cop side, racer won't see me for a time. Always enjoyed that more. But tbh Rivals was just bad. Racer shouldn't have any weapons and the cops only should have road blocks, helicopters and spike strips. Maybe we will see a DLC for Payback like the "Calling all units" for The Crew. But until now, you have to be satisfied with being a racer.

@808-Stat3 Hello, welcome to the forums 🙂No need to worry, there will allot of Cop chasing to happen in the game.You will have many hours of fun with the cops in the game to chase you if that's your thing.So enjoy and relax...all is well in NFS Payback.RegardsBLVD69

Agree man, i like the idea that we could play the police in a singleplayer chase and that we chased a human player. Mayby EA could make a story where one team was a human cops but that they could get help from A1 cops, and another team was a illegal racer crew that had too steal cars from trucks etc. And they could get help from A1 racers. That would be a hell of a game if you ask me, i dont know if EA has the tecnology too make it happen, but it would be intteresting too see then.

Agree man, thats why i allways loved the old NFS games from the 90s, because either the cops or the racers had silly weapons. Thats just so unrealisticly, and yes only the cops shoud use spikestrips. But i wish the spikes could work like they did in the 90s game and NFS HP2, you got arrested after you had driven 100 yards or something. Anyway you never now mayby we can play as a cop in the MP, if yes i may buy this game, if not i think i will just pass. Because i dont care about story gameplay, after you complete it then its just pointless continue on the SP mode.

@NFSMWBOSS88 Totally agree with the spike strips. They are useless and are no danger for racers when their cars can fix the tires after 10sec.

Excetaly, that is what i dont like wih Criterions NFS games. But we also saw it a littlebit in Black Box NFS games too except from HP2, you could easliy escape even if you got hitten by a spikestrip. That is why it shoud not be pursuit brakers or something like that, mayby som kind of wrecking system. But the police should use pit manouvers like in the 90s games, try to force you too stop not wreck you if you gt my drift.

@NFSMWBOSS88 totally with you dude. Like NFSMW, the AI of the cops was so smart with driving roadblocks and pit manouvers. Today it's just destroying the opponent with weapons. Sad tbh

You can drive on flats, it makes it harder to go faster and control your car though. i think there should a balance between both, give you a chance to get away but it will extremely hard as you are handicapped by four flat tires, the cops will easily be able to surround you or pin you to a wall

I see your point, but at same time i liked that i was garanteed busted\ticked. If i driven into a spike, because then i know that it could be game over if i hit one. Thats why i dont like the system that has been in NFS since 2005, it easier too escape plus i dident like the bust system in that games. Plus i would love if we could get back the ticket system again, because that was both realistic but it also had its charm.It would also been cool if the cops could have too comments or cut scenes, when you or if you get caught.
