After the recent debacle with Star Wars: Battlefront II, it seems a lot of games under the EA banner are rethinking progression. Ghost Games has announced a number of changes coming to Need For Speed Payback.
The only way currently for players to upgrade vehicles is through the loot box system as well as by using Speed Cards and Speed Points. However, the rewards have been somewhat stingy. According to a list published on Reddit, a number of more player-friendly changes are coming to NFSP.
“We’ve been using Community feedback, along with our own in-game data and have come up with a number of changes, many of which are in the process of going live. Our aim with these changes is to make the progression, especially around the ownership of cars, a much more enjoyable experience.
