It isn't even much of a controversy. Just people not willing to put in the time.

I care nothing for star wars games so I wouldn't be getting the game anyways.
If it was grinding for something I was interested in I'd have no problem with it though. As long as it was worth it.

Bad game play should get bad game scores. Just because they don't give you darth vader at the beginning shouldn't result in bad user scores. Unless the game is also bad.

 

 

This is not the real issue people have with the game.. Just the final straw.. What people are really angry about is all these things put together :

 

loot boxes in a 60$ game.

Progression in the game only through loot boxes. 

 Pay 2 win a the cards gives you a combat advantage( some of them very significant) instead of just cosmetics. 

 

The insanely long grind. The heroes is just one part but it takes very long for most of the items. I believe I heard 2000+ hrs to unlock everything. 

ESA's attitude which always goes something like 'we heard your feedback and appreciate your concerns' we changed how things work now' except what they change is so miniscule. So instead of spending 3000 hours to unlock everything we now only have to spend 2500 or something like that. Not only that but what they failed to mentions is that at the same time as decreasing the heroes cost, they also lowered the exact same percentage of in game rewards you got for completing the campaign... The whole thing just feels like gouging like a mobile title, while EA whispers sweet promises of nolo thing into our ears. Spinning every word they say.. Phrases about the grind like 'players will feel a sense of accomplishment and pride when unlocking a hero.' is just insulting as hell.. If they kept their mouth shut, and just launched the game as it was. People would not be as furious as they are right now. 

 

I will say. I didn't preorder or anything, but I'm glad EA is getting flak and whole they wont listen to us, a #campaign has been started with Disney called #gambling. EA might not care about their reputation, but I think Disney does not want gambling for children associated with them.
