Stop prioritizing cops in NFS
As much as I love the NFS community and the fact that we got street racing culture back since 2015, there is one thing I always disagree with others, which are cops. There, I said it. I understand...

Completely agree.
I just missed a safe house call because there were cops surrounding the spot I need to pick up the driver with a helicopter hovering directly above it. Timer expired and the cops never moved to provide an opening to get the driver.
So I guess I'm going to be short a safe house due to this BS.
@ThargorDraconis Don't worry about it. I missed a safe house call one time, but got it again few sessions later, so I have collected all safehouses even I missed it one time.
- @Likebai Yes way to many cops but at the same time I find it pretty easy to hide from them by going cross country. Obviously only works when your trying to avoid them. Once spotted it’s a chore to be sure
@ScarDuck14 Yes you are right! Once the heat level is high enough to have undercover cops, I always go cross country to the safehouse to avoid the undercover cops on main roads.
- @ScarDuck14 I know that going crosscountry is an option, but I would've bought Dirt or WRC if I wanted a rally game. I find it stupid that the only way to make distance in this game without being spotted is take a streetracer car with a rideheight inching the asphalt, with sideskirts and splitters and go all Collin McRea with it. Not that I don't do it, but only after the game driven me to pure frustation.

But you need to spec the car to the strategy/style or it won't work. Going offroad with a street car is not enjoyable as you already discovered.
If you prefer a nimble street racer, stick to the asphalt and/or drive back to the city or the industrial/harbor area and lose the cops in there. Plenty of options to lose both cars and choppers between the high rises and many alleys, tunnels, overpasses, etc. But spec the car accordingly (acceleration/cornering over top speed)
Offence is also a good strategy. But needs proper car and setup (e.g. heavier car, increased damage aux).
Offroad is a good strategy. But needs proper car and setup (e.g. AWD, big frame, suspension/tires/etc.).
And there's probably more. I have not found a one-size-fits-all car/setup that does everything btw. I have different cars/setups for different purposes.
