With the recent public backlash of the loot crates and progression system in Star Wars Battlefront II, EA and Ghost Games are making even more changes to the recently-released Need for Speed Payback. While a slew of initial changes were announced, EA is planning on even more changes. Most importantly, the time for parts within the tune-up shops has been reduced from 30 minutes to 10 minutes. Completing events, bait crates and roaming racing will amount in more in-game bank as well as more REP.

More changes are coming to Ranked Speedlists and will offer an increased amount of parts for payout. Even participating will net a 50% chance of receiving an item. Lastly, Air Suspension will have the same chance of being in a Shipment as all other vanity items. EA and Ghost Games are listening to player feedback for Payback and below are these changes that are available now and upcoming changes with a patch to be dated later.
