wtf?
Only recently (so to speak) started playing it an I'm trying to do the last two milestones you MUST do in order to be able to take on the #2 spanker

I'm in the GT Carerra, fully kitted out an keep getting nailed by the comp's units who seem to escalate the chase to level 4 in an insanly short amout of time from level 2. (how the f*** do seem to teleport on top of you when your clear of em??)

I do understand how the game works in regards to levels of pursuit etc, I'm just getting creamed way too quickly when I know I've had longer runs an get to level 5 an drive in the same manner an taken much longer to raise that level of pursuit!

Any hints on technique? I've been trying a couple which used to work for level 4 pursuits however they don't appear to work on level 5 cars
(ps: not interested in cheats)

CHeers!

Only hint i can give you is try not to have any breakables close to hand while playing.

You want to know what the trick is? honestly?
Look at the bottom of your screen
it tells you how many cars are pursuing you.

I.e. If it says 12 in the middle, then there are "12 cars chasing you".
Even if there is only 1 on yoru ass but it shows 12, they teleport on you from nowhere if that number is high (low level pursuits it doesnt seem to really matter).

The other trick ,is just go to the bus station and sit around up top until the timer clears, they can't get you, it's a bit "cheaty" though.

Otherwise, keep that number really low, and when they say backup is about to arrive - kill the last cop chasing you and the backup gets cancelled, find a roadblock and piss around the roadblock for a minute or two, a single cop usually begins chasing you --> by the time the backup counter comes back up, ditch him and repeat.

I found it really easy once I figured out the trick of knowing when to have a lot of cops chasing you (low level pursuits) and when to keep them low (high level pursuits).

Let them bank up and take out a s*** load at once with one pursuit breaker, then move to another close by to reduce numbers rapidly :)

Hope that helps, it's a #@$% of a game as bah said.

Yeah for the most part just take it easy, get a lot of guys following you hit the pursuit breakers (can mark them on your gps)... but if you see a road block after a pursuit breaker, do NOT hit the pb as the game will take over your driving and put you over a bunch of spike strips as i found out to my frustration a few times.

Seems to be a lot of luck involved, you can be surrounded by 20 cops with zero dramas get rid of them, then one cop will slow down in front of you and bring you to a dead stop, or youll flip at a road block even though you clipped the rear of one car while in slow mo.

I'm stuck on the final milestone where i have to escape from lvl 6 cops/choppers after a 13 minute persuit..

It shat me to tears so much i gave up on it 6 months ago.

Booyah - do the bus stop trick :P (it's around the center of the map) it's easy then :)

and Bah - that pissed me off too, simply turn off 'game moments camera' or whatever it's called

Yeah i kept meaning to look for that option, but when it happened i usually just hit "alt-f4" and didnt play again for a while, by which time i had forgotten... until the next time it happened.
Finished the f***er though, so i dont have to go back.. dont think ill bother doing the challenge series though.

Yeah im kinda over the game at the moment. But i'll be on the lookout for the bus stop trick when i eventually get back into it.

Also fully worked Carrera GT cains.

need for speed has always had cheaty ai physics where if you get too far ahead it teathers the other cars to you, but they can lap you if you go too slow. Always hated the nfs series, so I created das uber mobile that went over 400km/h and turned on a dime. lets see the cheaty ai catch that thing. stupid f****ng EA games.
