NFS is one of the better graphics game out there. They have always had beautiful scenery for the experience. Yet, what they excell in is destroyed by the bad things in the game play. About the only time that EA, in NFS got the police right was with Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit 2, for the Gamecube. Starting with NFS: Carbon, the police action/AI became very bad. And now, it has fully degenerated. I guess there is no way to inform EA that "pursuit breakers" means that the pursuit is broken. It does not mean that the cops orbit around your location waitng for you to move, or that they "beam-in" down the road in front of you to pick up the pursuit again. Also, loading the map with thirty to fifty police cars during a chase is not fun. The moron at EA who thought so should be horse-whipped. However, this game typifies the slide of EA, stunningly beautiful gaphics that are ruined by atrocious game play. You want a awesome racing sim? Stick with "Gran Turismo" and forget you ever heard about Need For Speed.
Oh-yeah, and one more thing EA, Not all of us are Neanderhals who just jump at the chance to do infinite drag races. . . AGAINST TRAFFIC!
