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...
My experience at the moment is i can get about two races done at night and if i don't make a move to a safe house after that i'm screwed.
I got to a third race at level one, avoided all cops, started the race and half way into the first lap there was a cop. That's ok they go after other racers its fair enough and i lost the cops in the race but that means nothing because i was going to meet up with them again on the last lap. So once the race was done i was in level 3 trying to get to a safe house and they were on me like glue, rubber banding past me like rockets and bouncing my car around as if it was a pinball. No matter how many short cuts or drifts, nitro's i hit, they were there. I went to 3 gas stations and ran out of repairs, drove past 4 safe houses with a red circle around my car on the map so clearly had to keep running. There were cops everywhere, once i made a gap more showed up in front and the cops in the rear would just fly past me again.
So at the moment for me this is slow progression, if later in the game the cars can out run them then fine. But i have lost so much hard earned rep trying to strategies my night races that once i have been wiped out i'm pretty defeated with the experience and flick over to something else to play. I get the urge to throw it back on but the thought of trying to earn rep on nights to progress is honestly putting me off. After day races I linger in the garage tuning and almost have to force myself to keep playing and that's not fun.
I could be crap at the game i dunno i play a lot of racers though but that's beside the point. I like the challenge but it's a crap shoot, feels broken. I will give it my time this weekend and if i'm still forcing myself to play it then sadly its going on ebay.
