Quick Evade

To get away from the cops:
Go to the baseball stadium, in Rosewood. When you are in the pursuit press the left button on the D-pad - this brings up the map. Go to the Rosewood section and find the two closest Pursuit Breakers (orange triangles - they should be really close together). Set your GPS (clicking the 'A' button on the Pursuit Breaker) and go there. Go on either side of the stadium. Go and hit one of the sides (a big sign), it should fall, and you should be in the stadium. Go through the other side but don't knock this one down. You should now be facing the the road. Turn around (now facing the stadium). Go through and THIS time knock it down. You should be inside the stadium, and the entrances are blocked off - the cops can't get in to you. They should lose you and you will evade them. If done right, it works every time.

Easy Pursuit win

When you are in a pursuit with the police find the bus station, go inside and you will see a ramp. Go up the ramp and on to the second floor and when you are up there the police can not catch you. Hence making the pursuit end fast or in career mode you can rack up points because the police wreck each other's cars and giving you large pursuit times.

Super Charged Cops

If you are on HEAT 7 you will come around the Supercharged SUV. If you have 3 of them in front of you they will completely stop and barricade or block. If they are in front of you make a sharp turn. Also if there is a spike strip get the best nitrous there is and blow through the middle of the SUVs. Always look on your map to see where the roadblocks are

Cooling Down on Pursuit

If your heat level gets too high and you want to cool down during a pursuit, make your way to the bus stop. Go up to the second level and just sit on the cross over part but do not go through the glass on the top part or you'll be spotted. The cops won't follow you up to the top part and you will begin to cool down to end the pursuit.

Easy Way to Get Past Cops

When the police set up roadblocks or spike strips, take advantage of your speed breaker (X button) and aim for the rear of any police vehicle. The back end of all of the police vehicle is much more lightweight than the front or middle so it is ideal for ramming through a roadblock/spike strip.

Nitrous For Grip

Hitting nitrous torques the chassis back, giving the rear tires immensely more weight under the new acceleration. The end effect is that you will go straight. If your tail is sliding out or you are about to spin out of control, hit your nitrous to get straighten out. This is a great trick in combination with Speedbreaker. With the correct timing, you can take most corners at any speed.
