This has probably been said before but, the cops are insanely hard at heat level 3 and above, they hit extremely hard and can outrun the fastest hypercars in a dodge charger as well as they can withstand extreme ammounts of damage to their cars.I'd suggest lowering the police cars' health and slighly reducing their damage output.And with races, even on hard the AI either is hundreds if not thousands of metres behind you or there is one car which seemingly has double the acceleration and double the top speed of your car. It makes the racing not that fun when you're either smashing the competition or being smashed by one single unbeatable car.

I don't know how this has been tuned (for the "lone or 2 lone racers that seem to have better physics", not the cops bit) but honestly it's pretty OK on normal. it's ridiculous on ahrd though, you could be driving perfectly with a car 20+ rating above the race and still not catch the first bloke.However, it's still for me the best NFS in terms of AI balance i've seen.It's true that HEAT 3 is really a harsh thresold. The cop cars just seem to be able to just turn around on the spot and catch you up so easily it's really weird. I love their agression, but their "cheatiness" is quite over the top.

Thank you for making this thread to show ea they need to balance the crap outta night time i made one for myself showing on how to balance it but no one saws it but i aint gonna lie the heat level 3 cops should not be super hard and plsu they need to increase the value of how many limited repairs u have during night maybe increase it to 5 or 8

@demonicnatas Rivals had free roam cop with health bar and unlimited repairs,and in Rivals circling around Gas Station was a good way to earn XP

@Failed20021 i really dont see this is as an issue, i have a lvl 280 M3 and have no issues outrunning Lv. 5 Cops for extended periods of time, which Lv is your car? anything above 260ish shouldnt have issues

Actually i have this issue before, but once you know how to beat it by jumping over area and luring them to crash on cars and wall this become easy and don't forget to installed 2 aux like radar jammer and Nitro perk

Couldnt of said it better myself mate. Also at or above Heat 3 the Busting system needs to slow down. I had 4 cops on me at Heat 3 and just started to drive away,3 cops (left side,right side,behind),the Busted slide bar came up for like 2seconds and thats me busted,as I was driving at about 60kph.
Please keep the Busted slider balanced to give us time try and drive away.

@CrescenceRose I think EA need to make it unlimited While being chased at night. I mean if your getting chased by 3-4 cops at night,your not going to do circles around a Gas station,you need to escape.

I think they should scrap the repair limit and add a cooldown that gets longer each repair you do during the chase

Yeah, it's easier when you are all geared up and have a good car, but i feel like the cops are just too much where they are now, they hit too hard and trying to damage their car will usually damage your car more, i think we need squishier cops, but with more cops that can chase you, like what we had in MW 2005.

@demonicnatas thats exactly what would happen though, you can get 2 extra repairs using aux bonuses, using those i can do a few 2mil nights without even touching the gas stations, as long as your car is up to the task there is no danger to the cops
