Cops
Personally, I am liking the game. My biggest gripes are difficulty and cops. This game on relaxed doesn't seem relaxed. I've had a crazy time trying to win races. One of the big issues are the police...

This has already been mentioned in this forum, but it cannot be stressed enough how much the game experience is ruined by too frequent cop chases and redundant chopper patrols.
The fun in this game comes from the races, missions, car upgrades etc, but it's all too often interrupted by cop patrols which especially on higher heat levels are sometimes impossible to avoid.
I've read many comments where players where quitting the game in the middle of a cop chase, because they where tired of starting yet another cop chase after having just finished two or three others when all they were trying to do is get to a mission.
I think there are several improvements that could be done in this regard:
- remove the choppers altogether - there are enough car patrols that are successfully ruining the experience anyway.
- reduce the amount of patrols, especially once you manage to escape a chase - a successful escape should be rewarded, not punished by throwing you into another chase.
- add another difficulty level which greatly reduces the police frequency and the speed with which the heat is raised for those who want to enjoy racing and not spend 80% of the time on escaping from the cops and avoid rage quitting.
- let the heat decrease after a short time of not being in an active chase

@Rebel_Red_RabbitI wouldnt say remove them. Helicopters eyes are a primary weapon for police in chases. However it should be easier to get away from them as police helicopters are not designed to be fast. Plus fuel limits there air time.
I remember a decade or so ago here in the UK. There was a chase down the motorway with the bad guy hitting speeds off 180mph. And he surely did outrun the helicopters. However Police believe it or not are not stupid. And basically setup up a relay off helicopters as he beat one another was laying in wait. The guy had some serious skills but did eventually crash
But there should be a big reduction in police cars and the like. No police force would commit so many to chasing a street racer. Infact police often abandon pursuit if it gets to dangerous and risks injuring innocents passers buy
But then this is just a game and full arcade
I feel like there needs to be some heat degradation, where going out and just driving around for a time will eventually reduce your heat.
It's not too much of a bad thing, as it still gives you risk and reward. You can choose to waste some time to reduce your heat, or go all in and take the punishment.
