Speeding tickets in Need for Speed

Has anyone else noticed that in Need for Speed, when approaching Police Cars, your computerized opponents seem to be invisible to him ? For example, if you are following another car in head to head mode, and the other car blows past the cop at speed, the cop does nothing, but when I drive past at the same (or lower) speed, the siren goes off and he starts chasing me. I have experimented many times by following a head to head car at a substantially lower speed when passing cop cars, but they always go after me, and not him ! Police who write tickets adds a touch of realism to the game, but I find it VERY frustrating when competing against the computer in head-to-head mode and my ***-opponent is exempt from the police intervention that affects my car. Has anyone else noticed this ? If so, do you know how to make the other car be a target for police as well ? Thanks, Terry

I noticed this and it sucks. Also they give you a ticket if yo go .1 m.p.h. ovet the limit! Come on! Give us 5-10 m.p.h. like in real life! -- ______________________________________________________________________________ I Love Cars, Auto Racing, And The Red Hot Chili Peppers --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IndyCar: Go Penske Team!

But there is a fun way to allow the police car to pull over the other opponent... race somebody over the modem. Either of you can get pulled over, and you'll notice that the other computer cars, if turned on in single race mode, set their pace independently of either players speed. In a nutshell, this game rules over the modem, try it sometime. +------------------------------------------------------+ John Krutke -=<>=- Sysop of Vital Signs BBS, Oshkosh, WI World Wide Web: http://www.mm.com/~jkrutke Visit my Fade to Black page, and The Need For Speed page +------------------------------------------------------+
