I've never seen a game this broken before. It literally took 4 hits to get busted.While i have to ram the cops 8 to 10 times to wreck their cars, plus i take damage in the process as well. And combine that with a 3 repair limit is BS !!! Whoever came with this stupid decision should be fired !!!I have played most of the need for speed games, but i've never seen a system this broken before. In Rivals you could repair your cars with a small cool down which is much more fair than having a 3 repair limit in Heat. I was hoping for a good NFS Game, but now i feel like i wasted 60 bucks on a broken game...

Niether one of you has probably gotten your car to higher than 220 score. At that point you outrun heat 2 cops and they don't really damage you all that much. Then if you get to 300+, nothing can actually catch up to you, they can kind of keep their distance, but the moment you start cutting corners real smooth like or going over 200 mph they lose you. Its incredibly easy, even the corvettes don't catch up, I haven't gotten anything higher than the corvettes despite getting all the way up to heat 5, cause even at heat 5 it doesn't matter as long as a cop doesn't see you.Trust me, at first I thought the cops were op, but they are far from it once you have built a good car. As it should be. The repair limit is justifiable so that you are not just suriving endlessly against cops pressure, there has to be a limit on how much you can take and it makes you more careful. Just get your car(s) up, and you'll see how easy it can be. As long as you know how to drive ofcourse.

Christ, it is incredible how bad some people are at this game.If your car is slow, you will take lots of damage (obvious since you can't get away and get hit far more often). If you can't outrun the cop car, it will obviously keep catching up to you and ramming you.You can use the "Damage Reduction" auxiliary perk to make your car SIGNIFICANTLY more durable, even with the Level 1 perk. To deal more damage, you would want the "Damage Increase" perk, but you cannot run both of these perks simultaneously. I would highly recommend you stick with Damage Reduction.If having 3 gas station repairs per night is too little for you (somehow?), you can get the secondary auxiliary perk with the toolkit, which gives you extra repairs on the go. The Level 1 perk allows you to use 1 repair whenever, the Level 2 gives you 2 repairs.If 5 repairs per night/race is too little for you... enjoy the refund

@taladays Im with you man. At first I thought the cops were OP to the max, but i was reluctant to complain about it publicly after all the complaints about cops being too easy previously. However, when I got my hands on a 335 level Corvette everything changed. I've now found the best way of leveling up is actually during races at night. The cops are much easier to lose during the race and once the race is over, don't stick around, get out of dodge. Same goes during any pursuit. If you're in a chase in downtown, head to the port. If you hang around a certain area during a chase, the cops are gunna clamp you down. The most helpful thing I've found is damage reduction in the passive auxilary. That has been a god send, keeps me in the game longer.

You're simply just too ambitious in your endeavor given your Rep Level and car's performance. Don't take on tasks you clearly cannot handle. Focus on improving your car until you can.

Indeed the 3 repair system is just not good, i like the repair system in Rivals, and the cops ??? man the cops are way overpowered compare to Rivals at least in rivals you can outrun them but in heat past lvl 2 the game is over. I hop this won't end up like Anthem

Ok, tell me this, at the start the game, when you first get into a cop chase, how do we get all that money to get all that stuff that will help us escape a severely broken cop system?? cause if you managed to get that money and to that level, you must have found an exploit to do so, so whats the secret?
Cause from experience, the only people that say 'i had no problems, you guys must suck' or some extent like that have been found out to have cheated to get where they are....just saying.
If it was a few of us, it might be down to skill, but when its alot of us and only few seem to not have this problem, then it has to be a bug.

@selticus1978 If you think the repair system in Rivals is ok you really need to play Rivals again.

@taladays That's what I'm saying. All these people trying to get to heat 5 with a car under level 200 or are just bad drivers. I outrun cops on heat 5 with a 250 car.

Rivals system was fair. heat system is broken. I basically keep getting busted because my car dies within 4 hits. Yes my car isn't very fast, but if i keep getting busted how the hell am i supposed to level up???
Day races are fine, night races are a total mess when cops arrives. In Rivals i had no problem fighting off cops, because we had tech to deal them. In this game you have no tech, and you take damage regardless of them hitting your or the other way around. They need to go back to the drawing board. In fact payback is even a more enjoyable game, than this pile of garbage.
I consider Rivals as one of the better NFS, sure the game was buggy, but when it worked, the game was a blast to play !
