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...

If you guys spent even half as much time trying to improve your cars and make them faster, as opposed to complaining and whining, you'd be fine.
There are a lot of people not having any issues with the cops. There's just that select group of whiners that immediately run for the forums to complain when something isn't just handed to them. And now you're all running a herd mentality thinking everyone is struggling.
The game is easy and the cops are easy. You're just slow.

This.People try to be hero when dealing with cops.People who constantly whining in this topic say, they end up getting busted while they try 2 ram cops as in MW 2005 days.This game is about to outrun the cops not ram & destroying their cars.Trying to crash cop cars in this game only make things worse where you keep damaging your vehicle and force the police get reinforcements, ie more trouble for you to deal with which end up possible bust!
I was thinking police being too fast in many occassion until I buff my M4 cabrio & Countach which the latter has incredible accerelation even stock.
My only tip for chases is to get showcase tires, so you will have a subtle handling between grip & drift which leads an absolute advantege when luring cops to other direction where you sharply turned.

I'm currently level 23 and I just don't bother with Heat 3, as soon as I get to Heat 2 I just go back to a safe house and reset. The risk just isn't worth it, my car is at 310 and can't out run Heat 3 cops, they seem to just instantly catch up and overtake regardless and I'd rather not lose money and the rep multiplier.
Just keep racing in the night in small increment steps. Then get the damage reduction and the repair kit the first chance you'll get.
You'll be able to take on Heat level 3 most of the time, WHEN using jumps. So make sure to memorise some.
Then just keep racing at night in the same manner, small but progressive. Do NOT get tempted to go after the special Heat race level 3 at this point, it has no use. You don't unlock any special ultimate parts until you reach Rep 50. -__- I found out the hard way.
It's only when you get all your parts upgraded to the max AND bought the orange damage reduction and repair kit (x2 times repair!!) that you can take on Heat level 4 and 5. And do the special Heat races.
Why? Because the game is unbalanced as hell. With all parts maxed, and the above passive and active upgrades it becomes very easy:
1) You'll outrun the cops in most cases under level 4. No wonder, half of the time you don't even know how you are surviving at those amazing high speeds.
2) They'll still hit you at other times, but hey, you got a "high" armored vehicle now and if you are lucky, 5 repairs in one night.
3) Couple that with jumps and you are safe.
So there is a whole "gap" where the game is getting hard as nails because you are underpowered for level 3,4 and 5. Then you get a liiiitle bit of shelter from level 3 if you know what you are doing. And that's it for a "long period" (feels like it anyway, unless you grind that Rep with special methods) of time. And then it quickly jumps to the other side of the scale and you are left wondering if the game just laughed in your face.
At level 43, and only then, I finally got some grip on the night modus of the game because of the parts that started unlocking.
Nuts I tell you. This game had such potential, now there are so many things to balance (and fix, but balancing will be the hardest part) that this game will probably die a silent death.I managed to get 2.5 million rep on one night run last night so I dare say cops arent too overpowered. On average I can find myself cashing in a million rep per run after about 4 or 5 good races.

Over time people will realize the cops were only difficult in the very early stages of the game
