Cops

Yeah, it's pretty ridiculous. Yesterday I booted the game again to give it another try, and of course a cop chase started within seconds.

I escaped, hid and waited for some clearance to reach a mission, but I couldn't move because there were two choppers and three police cars roaming around and the entire mini-map was basically red.

I waited for a few minutes with my engine off until some cop notice me anyway and triggered another chase. That just kills all the fun. I'll wait until this is fixed.

Totally agree and think the cops and helicopters are too OP and should be nerved.

Yesterday was hiding inside the parking lot at the top of the map for half an hour with 2 helicopters flying/hovering overhead that just didn't want to leave and no way they could see me all this while not being in an active chase by cops and already evaded them.

Later got a chance to get away and moved to another place and was hiding not even 3 minutes later the helicopter was directly flying to me and started hovering above me.
And again no chance the helicopter could have spotted me.

Either helicopters need to be fixed or nerved or something and should leave after a few minutes to refuel etc. and agree heat level should decrease at some point or like in underground when changing colour or mods of car or something to that extent. 

Should add Heat had the best idea with the cops you race through the day and at night you battle it out with the cops and when returning to the garage your heat level decreased.

Wouldn't want to live in Lakeshore in real life it's literally a police state hahahahahahaha

While we are on the topic of cops, I wanted to ask you guys and gals, don't you think the undercover cop unit, the Camaro, is the worst design for a stealth car ever made?

I mean come on, fifteen52 wheels, red and blue stripes on the side and modified body kit? Who thought this was a good idea? 

It would be great to receive some official statement on this topic to know if any cops tuning is coming or if I should just uninstall the game and forget about it.

I just read all your replies and I am glad to find different opinions and very valuable points of view from you all. It is reasonable that some of you don't see the "cops topic" so irritating or hard to manage.

Personally I have played NFS games a lot, since many years ago. I am not a pro player, just an average player, and in my opinion current version of the game is ruined by "cops topic" so I haven't played for some days because I don't get fun.

Nice to hear it is not a problem for some of you, but I guess you can also understand that we the "average players" were really happy and excited, bought and installed the game, run it for the first time... and now we are not so happy and excited 😠

In the meantime, I am playing and getting lots of fun from another racing game, which name obviously I should not mention here... Huge amount of contents, nice gameplay, frequent updates, and so on. Another class, same price 👿

@Rebel_Red_Rabbit: Absolutely! Imho, main cops tuning should be related to:

 - Amount in general: there is an absurd amount of them. My expectation was enjoying a new NFS game, based on cool arcade racing gameplay with an important component of cop pursuits, as in other previous NFS games. Currently NFS Unbound gameplay is based on cop pursuits with some arcade racing.

 - Amount depending on areas: there should be some areas where amount of cops was significantly lower than average; not totally safe areas, but at least zones you could expect less risky; I mean common urban areas in the city, not woods or highways.

 - Decreasing heat: heat never decreases: it is reset to zero after night, and that's a different topic; in some situations the player should receive some compensation in terms of a decrease in heat, as by evading cops in a certain time limit or so. Crazy idea: some events/missions/achievements which prize is a decrease on heat instead of money?

 - Scalation according to game difficulty: Money you earn is significantly lower playing on lowest difficulty, but honestly I didn't notice any difference on cops. Same amount of them, similar aggressivity, heat increasing with same speed. That's really frustating and, let me say, unfair because you can assume earning less money on easy difficulty, but if required effort related to cops is the same, something is wrong.

Maybe I am missing something or I need more practicing, but imho there is another topic, not related to cops, that should be reviwed.

If you tune a car for drifting, you can go out the garage to play the drifting events, using the right car with the right tuning. That's fine, but once you are outside you cannot swap car and you can only modify a few handling points, so earning money from the rest of not drifting events is in most cases very difficult or just impossible. Therefore your only option is forgeting those events and going back to the garage.

It would be nice if the game could include some way of managing that situation in order to give the player more chances to play more events.

Bad boys, bad boys,   Wotcha gunna dooo?   wotcha gunna dooo when they come for you?  🙄😇
