[NFS:UC] Police Scanner (Free Roam)

[@Crazautiz]

Officer 1: "Are these street racers listening to everything we say?" Officer 2: "Nah. There's no way they'll know where we set up our roadblocks."

[@thientuongnguyen2564]

Does that mean there's a store selling radios tapped into the police's frequencies? You'd think after so much games and movies about street racing they'd find a way to encrypt chatters better.

[@lustandluster]

I love the chuckle she gives the sick cop in response to his radio at 1:16!

The police chatter here is probably the most realistic that I have heard in the entire Need for Speed franchise. Correct me if I'm wrong!

[@brendon209]

Arnav Sinha Roy you're absolutely right!

[@vice88]

Arnav Sinha Roy No. Need for speed Most wanted most wanted 2005 is.

[@weed75black35]

[@loweni7460]

No need for speed most wanted and Carbon which reused some of most wanted's chatter is the most realistic

[@andreroberson6554]

That Blackguy74 nope

[@talkshow69]

The police chatter here is more realistic than Most Wanted because the chatter in Most Wanted only starts when we do something that results in a 911 call. Otherwise it's pretty much quiet. Here you can hear the cops attending to other duties and talking normally and talking to each other, which makes it more realistic.

[@ArbitraryOutcome]

Even though MW/Carbon still gave the player a scanner, I wonder if the immersion might make even more sense in UC since the player is a cop in that game, unlike MW05 (where people THINK you're a cop, where in reality you've just been buddy-buddy with one this whole time).

[@Leon_SKennnedy]

It'd be cool if there was an option to listen to the police chatter as if it were a radio

[@r10101]

It's not easy to hear more than one at a time unfortunately, since they're used to alert the player of incoming cops if they aren't moving

Me too, Undercover was really underrated

[@A7med9870]

It (and still) a good game In fact it's for me the same level of carbon and most wanted level of favorable to me I honestly think people didn't like it was because of the missing feature or uncompleted ones that other NFS games had (including the story) But I seriously do think it would have been in much better state and more positive opinion on it from other NFS fans if it did have enough time to develop In that period were new consoles were coming out, EA had split up black box in half to adapt into the development of new consoles as well in that time, game devs were complaining about the complexity of the ps3 CPU And to add to what pressure black box had They literally worked on about 5 games during pro street and undercover I seriously don't how they even did it in frist place but sadly the fail of undercover (because of short time development and not luck of talent) and few years later when NFS the run failed to hit it's targeted sales, they got shutdown in 2013 And I honestly sad about it because they did and worked on the things that fans really and truly loved about the series but the short time developed is what made their later games a underwhelming, despite the fact that they are man and legends behind the most sold games in the hole series
