I didn't like HP handling either but you are right, battling out with the cops is so much fun.
The original Most Wanted had the best cop battles ever imo. Hopefully that's recreated for this game...
I liked them in Most Wanted, I just got a little annoyed how you had to have these insanely long police chases to earn your way to the Blacklist races. You'd have to hit so many cars, or last such and such amount of time... have my time in police battles that game was slowing down and waiting for them to catch up.
Plus, all you could do was bash at them, which was fun, I'll admit. I hope Criterion brings back the little touch where you could break through barricades if you ran into the backs of the police cars, since they're lighting in the trunk.
But I liked having EMP and spike strips and jammers to play with too.
