Thoughts about NFS Payback

IMHO i do not like the idea of free roam cops. The bait crate system is a nice compromise IMHO. I would get so damn annoyed in 2015 when i was busy racing and trying for a good lap time and the damn cops would decide that was a great moment to start chasing me and ^%^%$ up my time. Then i would have to lose them , wait for the timer to count down then go back and start the event again. Or i was in a race , leading then the cops decide to pull a stupid move and cause me to crash and lose the race. I would get so ticked off with that. Bait crates is like a on off switch, for those who feel like getting a massive chase on then all they need to do is grab and go.  On the other hand for people like myself its nice In payback to be able to concentrate on the task at hand with out cops butting in. My 2 cents .
