@EA_David First off, thank you. Please send a sincere thanks to everyone who worked on the latest update and for all of those who communicated with us, despite the presence of hostility on our side. I can relate directly to the in and outs of working for a large corporation and the frustrations that it causes but I also understand the benefits of working for a large corporation so it is a give and take, much like anything in life. The progression system is awesome and most importantly it works well. I already upgraded a card to elite for my fighter and bomber and it didn't take that long so I am excited for the future of this game for the first time in recent months. Although my shorted total has already jumped to 430,000 credits on the first day of opening crates, I am still excited to play again. That said I want to trade in my credits for a Imperial Star Destroyer that I can call in to Galatic Assault.

Sorry, but I have to disagree with those giving props to EA for datamining our missing credits.
They're going to turn microtransactions back on. They can't be shorting players when they do that.
EA cannot say "For $20 we'll give you a bunch of credits, but the first $10 or so worth of that are credits you should have earned by didn't because of our bug, oh well, our bad, tough luck, thanks for the cash though!"
We got what we earned, at last. We are still short the opportunity to convert those to crates, which would have been more cards, levels in the new system, maybe an emote along the way, etc. I don't think they've made things even, they just got them closer, and I hope there's a follow-up compensation to make up for the terrible way they dismissed this progression bug without giving it the proper attention they gave credit awards from matches and milestones. This should have been a top-level issue, we got almost no attention for months.

The credits we are all sitting on now are worthless because the real cost to this bug now is Unit Levels. Getting our credits back now is ridiculous and of no compensation at all. We were supposed to get them a month ago... After months of this issue being so poorly handled, putting this patch out before giving us the promised compensation is the stupidest mistake that EA and DICE have made yet. They really must not give a * that so many of us feel like they don't care... Would it have been so hard to roll you credit refunds out first??? A lot of us would have put this behind us and moved on, but this sour taste isn't going away if we aren't compensated directly in Unit Levels spent on the units of our choice.
While this system is overall a lot better for new players, it seems pretty ridiculous for hero ships. You have to be good enough to stay alive forever on them to even be able to level them up and they aren't available very often (while all of the other units advance pretty quickly and are easily available.)

I will comment on this further, but only when both of my player video logs for the game are categorized and uploaded to YouTube for public viewing. I have yet to download the EA SWBF2 March 21st 2018 4.3Gb update which not brings my Xbox One Storage to just about 3.7Gb available. Hmm. over 70Gb's of storage for this game?

My primary Xbox One EA Star Wars Battlefront II Player Account video capture conducted on March 20th 2018 showing my current Rank and standing. This capture was completed one day prior to Update 2.0 Progression dropped on March 21st 2018. Now online, https://youtu.be/rv1IKbdZtWQ Entire Capture is 28:34, but had to speed up 4x to reach 6:42.
After the update has completed its install, I will produce two more videos, and we shall see where that leads.

I just finished my first game after the patch, and on top of the 386 000 credits I earned, I received another 25 000 after the match. Won't have time to play another match, but I would suggest for everyone to at least play a match and see if you still get more credits lagging behind.
