Absolutely true. First night out with my Mitsubishi, trying to lose the cops in the city making every turn possible to no avail... tried to outrun them, nothing. Heat level 1-2 and they already were going down on me as if they didn't care for their own lives (which, if you ask me, kinda takes the realism away sometimes. Does anybody else remember the "doughnut eating / they ain't paying me enough for this" cops at heat level 1 in Most Wanted 2005?). Needless to say, got caught too. All of this would be completely fine though, if the only way to actually lose the cops weren't jumps.... Not heavy traffic zones or takedowns, just jumps. Made me fall into the long nights for RP - banking af days cycle.
For the rest shoutout to the NFS team, you did a really good game. Haven't had this much fun since the PS2 times. Just fix the cops please
Most wanted 2005 now you're talking some classic NFS when they did it right!
That game I was glued to on my PS2 back in the day.
Weekends at night were spent cashing in on races and cop chases were hours long.
I liked hanging out at the bus station and milking the rep to get a higher payout.
Good old game it was and is still today in 2020 for old memories of better times for NFS Franchise.
I do really enjoy the older NFS games even in the 1990s as I have been gaming since the 1970s.
I first got into racing games back when Atari's "Pole Position" game came out in the early 1980s.
Here is a fine example of the early days of racing for me.
Seen this video and had to share.

Enjoy and have a great day.
My man! that's what I'm talking about. I would even challenge my friends to who would get into the longest cop chase on the highway. It made you
GUYS AT EA, IF YOU'RE READING THIS, BRING MORE DEPTH TO POLICE CHASES AND TUNE IT DOWN AT LOW HEAT LEVELS.
We're not asking for anything that hasn't been made already in the past. Takedowns, hiding spots and a goddamn difference between cops' cars performance at different heat levels. What's the meaning of heat 1-2 cops cars reaching 300 km/h and catching up no matter what you do??? Come on. I need to feel rewarded for having finally earned my top-notch fast af car. If I feel no difference because every single cop in Palm City is a godly street racer, my character might as well find a job and give up driving altogether...
Short additional story: was REP level 24, but after doing a couple races and some story events, I found myself owning $220K.. Guess what I HAD TO do: I bought a Lamborghini, not for the sake of owning it, not because I liked it, but as a FINANCIAL SECURITY. That's where we're at. I'm sorry if my tone now is more critical than my former message, but playing some more NFS Heat really grinded my gears.
