Just got busted by the cops again, lost over $30,000 bank which left me with just $3000 This system is complete garbage and had I known it was in the game I may not have bought it. I’ve only played like 5-10 hours and already losing motivation to continue It must be changed so that bank that has already been deposited is untouchable and DOES NOT get taken away when busted. Each time i get busted I quit immediately and don’t feel like playing at all for at least the rest of the dayThis system is extremely disrespectful of the player’s time and makes me feel like im wasting time playing this game because it takes away something i have already earned, that’s mine. All those races I had to complete to get that 30,000 were immediately erased. Make it so that only what you have earned on that particular run can be penalized. That way it feels fair and im only risking what ive earned since i left my garageHave the developers tried playing their own game and getting away from the cops at heat level 2 and above? Like seriously this is atrocious I even switched to easy difficulty and couldn’t get away from them at heat level 2And I’m not some noob or casual gamer I have played a lot of racing games before and I am good at every major fps game apex cod overwatch etc. My reflexes are not slow and I am not bad at this game driving is way easier than playing hardcore shootersIf this keeps happening I think I might stop playing which is unfortunate because this game has potential but this area of the game was designed horribly

Escaping the cops will become much easier once your car is more powerful. There are also lots of tricks to get rid of the cops. Go on youtube, you'll find lots of helpful videos.Especially with a slower car the chases are challenging and risky and thats how it should be in my opinion.

Its as if EA and Ghost have turned "NFS" into "Need to crash into everything" and swaded the game to benefit the game and not the player by any means. They've turn regular cops into rhinos (head on collision, cant avoid) and with the new update things are even worse. And to make matters worse you have these "YouTubers" that tell people not to complain about the crap they produced. I've been playing this series since i was a kid and its seems like more than ever its a way for EA and Ghost Bully people mentally and financially.I've got have half the mind to call Playstation and ask them how they feel about losing customers to Microsoft because EA and Ghost cant do there jobs.

@DKO1-80 It is a form of bullying, truthfully. I can't really say financially in Heat's case, since it has no loot-boxes, and only one micro-transaction. But:- Overpowered cops- Horrible acting AI traffic- Horrible AI traffic spawn rates- Overpowered AI racers on anything but easy for most cars (see my viper race video on medium difficulty) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsU55zRq8tQ (older video, elite parts)- Horrible acting AI racers (they block you, ram you, and slow down when you get too close to block you.)How can a player feel good about these things? In any case, after playing a few days after the update, I've gotten the cars bought and tuned that I wanted and already left the game.. again. I highly doubt that I'll be re-downloading the game until the next update.

@ZeroMcDol Have you experienced your vehicle basically exploding of the pavement yet? and mind you that's from absolutely Hint Nothing, let alone being "kicked/ shoved" on or off of the pavement by invisibility. Or have you gotten Steering Lock out yet? it's pretty intermittent but, it still happens more than I would like, which would be not at all.I agree with you, its like the people that programmed the AI have Zero Knowledge of the race world and what Integrity is.To be a little more clear of my Financial bullying comment ............. It was more aimed at the fact that EA and Ghost released this game under the condition it's in and that is totally unethical, like here's this totally awesome game and we'll take your money but we're not going to tell you that it plays like crap.And Secondly, instead of just taking/fining a straight amount when your busted its a percentage !!!! Crap, like , oh you've got a bunch of money and didn't just spend HOURS playing, cool , we'll just take more money from you.Because Fans like me that can enjoy The GRIND in the this game to get all "the cool stuff", want to feel like they're being cheated/taken advantage of/ robbed instead of enjoying the game and the fun it could be.The more I talk about and see certain parts of this game, it seams like there is political subliminal messaging in it.

@MaxX2905 Escaping the cops is only easy if you know 'how' to escape the cops. You can't simply outrun them, no matter what car your using; not once you get to Heat 3 and beyond, at least.

This game is incredibly frustrating

@MaxX2905I appreciate your advice and i used it already by watching some videos on specific jumps to get away. But the fact that i have to go to this length of extra work and research just to play the game and perform one of the most basic functions (getting away from cops) is absolutely RIDICULOUS

I should 100% be able to get away simply by driving on the street or going off road or making sharp turns or going through bushes or whatever option i want to take. Driving well and evasively should be rewarded not punished with a guaranteed bust. It should not require that i go find specific jumps to cheese the cops in order to get away this makes playing at night very unfun more like a chore because it’s not spontaneous and exciting at all

Everything is planned and repetitive like ok if im in this area ill use this jump and in this area ill use this jump etc. The thrill of actually losing the cops during a chase just by driving around like crazy (which is the whole point of this fantasy) is completely gone. There’s no adrenaline or excitement it’s all very formulaic and stale

Yea that's true in that sense. The game was released in an incomplete state, full of bugs, and doesn't even have a full story which makes no sense whats-so-ever. And yep, the amount of money that is lost from getting busted is pretty annoying; I hadn't even noticed that it was a percentage lost and not a set amount.
So far I haven't noticed the issue with my car exploding on the pavement or invisible walls (actually I might have come across one). I drive with the keyboard, so I've currently had no issues with steering locking up on me.
I dunno about subliminal messaging, as I haven't gotten that kinda vibe. What this game does tho (at least it feels like such) is constantly feel like it trying to troll me. The cops feel like a troll attempt, the AI racers feel like a troll attempt, and quite obviously the traffic feels like a massive troll attempt.

You can outrun them easily with a fast car and knowledge of the areas. I had lots of issues with cops in this game till I learned the areas to go to lose them! pretty easy imo. go to a shipping container area and find a jump to go on top a container (there are lots of places like this) cops cant get you and the eventually go away. Just like all games....Learn to play!

@ShadoWawker Cops are easy to escape from lol you can out run them with high speed if you know the areas well. Just remember if they lose sight of you they will lose you, so weave and zig zag streets. Honestly if this game gets any easier I will leave this game lmao.

Yah that Steering lock up seems to happen under "double throttling" or "Getting back on the Gas" in long corners, should be turning or sliding/drifting and it just doesnt.
About the Subliminal Messaging, never noticed that literally 99.9% of the characters are of brown ethnical skin color, and a good portion of the finish/start line says " take over"? That in the loading screen to start race they're all speaking Spanish. And I don't know how far into the game you are but my Rep is in the 35million area and "Lucas" is always complaining about how I don't feed him and when am I going to get out.
