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...
I would consider myself a NFS veteran. That said, I think I can honestly say that Cops have NEVER felt more unfair than they are in Heat (and that's even with modding the PC version of MW'05 with max lvl heat). The time it takes to be Busted is ENTIRELY too low. It's almost instant, even going +50mph. The time to call in reinforcements is just insane, as well. The damage dealt/damage received is skewed, even with +Damage or +Armor on. Cop "catch-up", as I call it, is also insane. Even at Heat 1 and with a +260 car. I get the high risk/high reward mentality that EA implemented with Night mode, but, Cops, I feel, were never supposed to be this unstoppable force you were scared of, but that's what they are in Heat, especially at lower Rep levels. Is it infuriating when you lose, of course, but, it's one thing when you lose because of a mistake you made, verses an overpowered/broken mechanic. I'm not saying EA should add Pursuit Breakers back in, but, Cops really are in dire need of a rebalance. Due to these issues, like many others have said already, makes the game just not fun anymore.
