Ghost Games has probably gotten lazy
This is why EA fired out Ghost Games, because NFS Heat was supposed to be great, but turned out again into frustration. I understand how Ghothenburg planned everything for the game, but the problem is that it kept getting bugs, like the Z-tune R34 Skyline bumper with no turn signal lights, account reset, and etc.
Ghost Games were probably lazy in some cases like not adding the Ford Explorer as a drivable car and as a cop chase vehicle, and instead used it as an unmarkable police car in the cutscenes, which they've already licensed that vehicle and they still didn't even add it as a playable vehicle and cop chase car in the game. Why even??
There's also other problems in this game. The Supra, nobody cares about that for now, as Toyota already explained why their cars are not in Heat. But what i'm saying is that there are things that Ghost Games were lazy to add, just like the Ford Explorer i've just mentioned earlier. This is probably the same thing with the Ford Crown Vic and Dodge Charger SRT, they've added it as cop chase vehicles, but not as playable vehicles like the one in Payback (The Ford Crown Vic is the only playable police car in Payback). They've licensed those cars too, but still did not added it as playable cars.
Now, there are more same problems about this. They've already added that content in the game and they were lazy to add them as a playable content, and that's what I actaully mean about Ghothenburg being lazy to add these things as a playable content when it already added these things.
Just like the police light bar too. Okay, from decal editor, they've already added the police stickers there, but it would be better enough if they've added police light bars in the vehicle customization. Okay, police light bars won't fit to some vehicles, but I could recommend these cars to have one; Corvette Grand Sport, Nissan Skyline R34 and R32, Ford Crown Vic, Dodge Charger SRT, and Ford Explorer (if they've added these three police cars from the ones i've highlighted red), Honda Civic type R 2001 and 2015, all Lamborghini cars, McLaren P1 and F1, etc. Why not just add these things so we online players can roleplay with eachother as cops, just like in Forza Horizon.
I mean, it's already there in the game, but they're too lazy to add them in the customization. Even the blower for the Camaro SS, it was there from Papi's Camaro SS, but it wasn't part of the customization from the playable Camaro SS. These were the things that Ghost Games were lazy to add, but yeah, we can't bring them back anymore since there are no more updates today.
Well, have fun racing and stay safe, and also, don't forget to wear a mask in the game to avoid COVID, jk.
