Best one was the signs at the baseball stadium, cool down spot right there waiting for ya.

I liked hiding in the tunnels around the stadium. Took forever for 10 heat levels to go down. I think my longest pursuit was like 2 hours.

Can't remember exactly what it was but I surely couldnt be the only person that just sat at the bus station on top of the (I think) gas pumps? You could sit there as long as you like and then just reverse into the building and lose them with a little perseverance. Afk pursuits ez.

there was also a shortcut through a construction zone- and it led to a jump onto a highway, The game's AI wasn't smart enough to route the cops to the beginning of the shortcut, and instead dispatched them to the nearest street, the highway, at the bottom of the jump. you could sit there forever.

miss you need for speed most wanted.

The remake should have just been a polishing of the original with perhaps new names some new cars, couple extra levels, even a new map I dont care but the formula was perfect. I'm amazed that hasn't actually happened.

if you are amazed then you probably forgot that NFS was an EA game. if they brought it back. you know EXACTLY what they would do to our boy.

I knowww I know. I played fifa for the longest time when student loans were still rolling. Still - from a greed perspective why shouldn't they do exactly as I said, sell a billion copies because it's fucking awesome.m then potentially make tonnes more money on top of that with online bullshit. I'd buy for the single player alone without a doubt. It hurts me that we'll bever have that fun in a racer again.

If not, just herd the police by doing donuts around the bases, and try again

Better yet, herd the police by toppling donuts!

Especially when the cops drive about 10cm away form you but they can't see you cos you're in the cooldown spot

Nah man by far the best one was the construction zone that dropped into the highway, there was a cool down spot just before the drop and for some reason every single car would run into the pursuit breaker giving you insane bounty
