Pursuit backup?

In the trailer of NFS 2015, there were many cops (https://youtu.be/Y5wssYZHVWc?t=52), like in NFS Payback (https://youtu.be/kf2qDAEZc2w?t=59).

However, in NFS 2015, they weren't as much as cops as in the trailer, and they were really slow, no backups... It was really easy to escape them.

Pursuit is what I like the most in NFS, and I'll preorder the game when I'll be sure pursuit will be neat. I bought NFS 2015 which was a great game, but I was a lot disapointed about pursuit.

I really wish NFS Payback won't be similar.

In the gamescom trailer, I can see some cops, roadblock and spike strips, a rhino and I know there'll be an helicopter in the game.

But what about backup? Will there be a lot of backup such as NFSMW's heat 3/4/5/6 to make pursuit longer? Will the cop be faster than in NFS 2015? If not, will there be heats to make pursuit harder and get chased by a lot of corvette?

I read the most common cop car we would find is the crown vic, just like NFS'15. Does it means there'll be only a few charger, and we need to go to specific location to get purchased by some charger, just like NFS'15? Does it mean there won't be a lot of corvette?

You did NFS'15 to bring back U2, and you did a great job! Amazing tuning, good map, I liked the game. And no pursuit, but it's Underground vibes then.

NFS Payback is more like The Run, MW vibes or something like that I guess, so please actually make pursuit really really hard, I think a lot of players are looking forward for this.

There'll always have players who will say "no we don't want pursuit" but they've got NFS'15, so please give the community who would like to have hard pursuit what they wish

    This gave me some hope. Let's just hope for the best.

    You have no idea how close you are too the thruth, the cops will have corvettes Dodge ram Ford Crown Vic, and even Swat like in MW 2012. But the best part is that if you drove over a spike you are garunteed busted, and that is i a thing i have missed in NFS since 2002. If you dont belive me you should read this:https://www.ea.com/games/need-for-speed/need-for-speed-payback/news/nfs-payback-high-stakes-cops. Here you can read everthing you need too know about the pursuits, wich cars they use and weapons etc etc. So this will give you more fight for your freedom, compared too in NFS 2015. After all that game was supposed too be a remake of UG, and that games dident have cops at all. Just like NFS 2 from 1995 and NFS porsche from 2000, so not all NFS had Police.

    Yes I know all of this, I know about S.W.A.T and IEM, but they don't talk about backup frequencies, amount of cops, how is the difficulty balanced...

    They could put a long cooldown before the pursuit ends and not a big amount of cops for example (like in Rivals at heat 4 or Hot Pursuit), while I prefer a lot of cops waiting for you and some backups on the road.

    What I would really like to see (as an extra) is that longer the pursuit is, harder the pursuit is. So cops could deploy different kind of roadblock (e.g S.W.A.T roadblock), send more kind of corvette police cars, send undercover cars cruising after the suspect escape the cops at a high level or something like that. I'd like to be able to get something exclusive in pursuit that would act as a kind of 'pride', and then all the players online (in online mode if there's one) would see some undercover car cruising just because the cops are looking for a specific wanted player.

    There would be less traffics then, because cops asked people to stay at their home because of a dangerous pursuit in Fortune Valley (just like in Most Wanted 2005 at heat 4). It'd give more simulation in the game. May be we could see the helico cruising in the sky looking for the escaped player.

    It's a suggestion.

    The pursuit looks great in the trailer, but it looks in every trailer of any NFS games. So I can't really be sure it'll be until they release a gameplay video in freeroam, or until an they confirm.

    I asked them yesterday and today what was the speed of the charger, and if the charger was faster than in NFS'15, but no answer...

    May be they hadn't read it, or may be the answer is 'no' and they won't tell it to get more pre-order. May be frostbite 4 engine can't support too much AI cop car because of police light or something like that? I remember on NFS'15 that too much cop (6 cops) were causing my game to lag.

    I like the sound of the bait crates. It sounds like it gives you a big incentive. Hopefully they do incentives for regular pursuits too.
