Ook progressiesysteem Need for Speed Payback aangepakt

In de nasleep van de controverse rond het progressiesysteem en de microtransacties in Star Wars Battlefront II heeft EA ook veranderingen doorgevoerd aan het progressiesysteem van Need for Speed Payback. Daarin draait alles rond loot crates in de vorm van Shipments, terwijl ook Speed Cards en Speed Points van de partij zijn. Dit systeem wordt niet verwijderd, maar spelers krijgen voortaan blijkbaar wel meer genereuze beloningen krijgen, waardoor er sneller vooruitgang geboekt kan worden.
