I don't even think the upset fans are EA's biggest problem at this point.
Belgium is currently investigating Battlefront II and EA for Gambling tactics.

What happens if microtransactions are looked into a little more deeply within EA? Now Battlefront is under the microscope, but that could in turn lead to FIFA, Madden, and other titles....
With the stress EA has put on competitive gaming, and the money that is circulating around that, one could easily make the argument that MUT packs are a form of gambling to enhance your chances to win money from one of these tournaments.
It's a slippery slope, and I think with the attention that Battlefront has drawn with microtransactions, that this could be the beginning of another Sam Keller like event.
So with all the issues the NFL is dealing with now, would they be willing to fall on their sword for EA if something like that ever went to court?
