2. Stat Tracking Is Shockingly Minimal

What's something everyone loves about modern online shooters? Stat tracking, of course. Most gamers will take it as a given that an online shooter in 2017 will allow them to tirelessly and obsessively track their online progress, but Battlefront 2 goes almost the total opposite way by including little in the way of comprehensive stats.

Ask any multiplayer shooter community whether they need stat tracking and there will be a decisive answer in the affirmative, but in Battlefront 2 there's currently no way to check your kill-death ratio or any of the other stats players typically expect.

EA has stated that they will be adding stats in the future, but seriously, how the hell can this not be ready for launch day? Again, embarrassing.
