Ben "F8RGE" Walke, the Global Manager of Community Engagement detailed the changes to Payback on Reddit , and changes have already gone live.The amount of REP and Bank have been increased from events, Bait crates, and competing against Roaming Racers, as well as finishing races outside of first place. Air Suspension will also appear more frequently in Shipments.Walke confirms that these changes are just the first phase of changes to the system. Future updates will change the way tune-up shops work, particularly with regard to the quality and level of parts they have in stock.Walke confirms that EA has been listening to community feedback, and that recent updates have been focused on improving player experience with progression, especially with regards to car ownership. He also promises more details on future updates soon, and encourages players to "keep the feedback coming."This news comes hot on the heels of EA temporarily walking back the micro-transactions in Star Wars: Battlefront II , which it may have done after Disney expressed concerns . Our review said that Payback is "one step forwards and two steps back for the series," but these updates should at least make the game more enjoyable to those still playing it.
