NFS Heat Level 3+
Can we please talk about how ridiculous the cops become overpowered after heat level 2? EA has made this awesome atmospheric night time mode where the cops are truly out to get you, but they're so ov...

@ColAvalanche311 Trivial Hardships?
This is NFS! High speed cop chases, race to make money (and rep at night - i do like that). Upgrade cars, win more races, make more money.
Why the hell would i bother playing this game, if i'm not up to racing a few cops?
You are being swamped with freaking high speed tanks that destroy your car before you can even reach 250KPH. That takes the fun completely out of the game.
There should be some sort of Heat Lock based on level (Heat 1 until lvl 10, Heat 2 until lvl 20, Heat 3 at lvl 30, Heat 4 at lvl 38, Heat 5 at lvl 43).
They could easily compensate each heat level (specially 1 and 2) with additional cars and specific tactics.
People are discouraged because just like with Just Cause 4, this is not the game we've been waiting for.

See, there's a constructive idea. The drawback is that your Rep gain multiplier increases at each Heat level, which would limit lower level players to a slower grind towards the max. That being said, considering I went from level ~26 to 50 within a few hours, this could really increase the length of the grind (in a good way).
But then we'd just see more people complaining about cops because it would take them that much longer to level up for engine upgrades.
Regarding the "high speed tanks", the only one I could imagine being nerfed is the Rhino. I've tried racing one as it spawned to chase another player and the truck was easily pulling 250m/h. The rest of the cops really are not a problem, the issue is simply that your engine components lack to make the time gap you need. They can only keep up with you under 180m/h.
EDIT: considering the Rhino spawns heading towards you, the speed is only an issue if you can't dodge a truck which is marked on the map (well in advance), that flies at a speed so high that it cannot turn. It couldn't be easier to dodge them.
- @ColAvalanche311 I still say don't change anything. Leave it alone. Otherwise you take out the whole thrill of risking it for more mutiplier. I like thinking about have I gone too far this time, is this the time I lose it all gambling.
If the game is too hard for some of these people maybe Need For Speed Heat isn't the game for them. Might I suggest Need for Speed 2015...... or Mario Kart. - @Michael_Rush Yup. I'm just really uncertain as to why people struggle so much. I definitely didn't, but if it comes down to the playerbase shrinking because of butthurt, I'd rather have a small change than empty online lobbies.
The challenge is definitely what makes a game fun. I spent stupid amounts of time re-doing the same jump for 3 stars over and over again. Did I come to the forums to complain? Nope, I kept going until I figured it out.

- @jhall181 I’m having fun. And I haven’t played a need for speed game since rivals.
