The cops are annoying. Sometimes i just want to play the game without them messing me. I liked having traditional online racing with hot pursuit. Im not sure yet if races can be set up like that in rivals. So far its been head to head or cpu ai races.

You gotta improve rapidly. It's vey vanilla at the beginning.

Agreed. In NFS Most Wanted cops didn't play as big of a role and I enjoyed that more. I also have no interest in the cop career. It's a pretty good game, but I haven't really found myself wanting to play it much.

So I'm an idiot. I've been driving around , doing head to head races and out running cops for a while now. All the time wondering why I was not leveling up and unlocking new cars. So I finally figured out I need to complete the tasks on the right of my screen to level up. Now I've got a few more cars and the game is starting to get a little better , still seems very repetitive though.

Anyone know what needs to be done to Gold an Interceptor?

Once you start a interceptor event. i believe you just have to escape the cops chasing you within the gold target time.

It's an ok game. And they actually added car customization, but unfortunately, it still falls far short of the customization of earlier games in the series.

Im not trying to bash the game, but it's kinda sad that a game like GTA V, which inolves a lot of different things, has more car customization than a game devoted solely to cars.

Dont get me wrong, it's a fun game. It just falls short of what the Need for Speed series should be

I've unlocked several more cars now and I'm really enjoying the game. It's just plain fun. It looks amazing as well especially the snow. I wish there was an in car view.
