I skipped the last two pages of comments here but I guess you both have a point.
When I started with this game, I was surprised how difficult it was to lose the cops im my stock E30. (and I have thousands of hours spend on older NFS) I didn't know about jumps and all that and I liked how risky it was to go over heat level 2. It was as challenging, as I want it to be.
Now that I know about the jumps the cops are way too easy. With a strong car and jumps heat level 5 is nothing serious anymore.
I think losing the cops should require driving skill and good knowledge of the area. I don't see any problem in learning how to lose them easier. It's part of getting better at a game. But I'm also not a fan of losing the cops by jumping over and over again because thats horribly lame and doesn't require skill.
I guess they actually changed the cops already, as you can see in this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZmj8ZB1D4I
It might make sense to make them less difficult for the beginning of the game or to limit the heat level. But if they nerfe them in general I would really be disappointed. I would like to see a heat level 6 for players over rep level 50 where the cops get insane and jumps are no solution anymore.
