During the game, players have to obtain credits - either by buying them or through long hours of game play - to unlock popular characters including Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader.
Many players said it was unfair as the gaming required worked out at around 40 hours per character, unless they paid.
EA says the number of credits required will now be reduced by 75%.
"Unlocking a hero is a great accomplishment in the game, something we want players to have fun earning," said executive producer John Wasilczyk from the developer Dice, in a statement.
Maybe EA should spend less time withholding heros from players and more time helping players find the hero within.

After ME:A I have zero hope left for them. I did enjoy DA:I despite the formula and DLC-which-should've-been-part-of-the-base-game, but I won't be paying anywhere near full price again for another installment in that series.
The executive layer in that company seems hellbent on draining any leftover soul from the actual developers/artists.
Meanwhile, I'll eagerly await whatever CD Project RED next puts out, regardless of whether it's a genre I'm particularly into. After the Witcher series, these guys (gender-neutral) have me believing in them consistently delivering high quality stuff. Correction, amazing quality stuff. The story telling and world building has been epic out of this world. They've taken up the mantle that many many moons ago Origin Systems ("We create worlds") held. If you like story and haven't yet played the Witcher series, you've seriously been missing out and should go get yourself a copy (unlike EA, CDPR does heavy discounting btw).

I second this. Awesome game, awesome story, awesome publisher. And they do discount fairly well. Got the other half Witcher 3 the other day for 20 bucks.

I dislike Origin a lot. So much so that i'll never buy an EA game again : / Battlefront 2 looks like a lot of fun but there are other fish in the sea.
SN won't survive on lurkers alone. Write comments.

Them reusing the Origin branding on the monstrosity that is their launcher is just sad. So so sad. Lord British would be spinning in his grave, were he dead.

Don't forget that you can get The Witcher completely DRM-free on GOG, which is a concept that I'm sure causes aneurysms in EA executive suite.

And they threw in a bunch of free DLC after launch. And their two big DLC (really, proper expansions) were exceptional value for money.
