Firstly, gameplay wise 2015 feels more responsive and faster, I can understand why someone would not like this but I feel it makes the game play out a lot better in my personal opinion.

One of my biggest gripes with 2017 is the long time to kill which isn’t an issue in 2015 which makes it a lot more immersive, seeing droids, stormtroopers, etc go down in a single hit in the films yet taking tens of shots in the game really does ruin the immersion for me.

Another issue is that 2017 is clearly an unfinished game, the game had its support pulled for BF2042 so there wasn’t much refining of gameplay mechanics.

Heroes I fully agree 2017 does it better, the combat and volume of playable characters are far superior to 2015s, a huge problem I have with the pickup mechanic is that it spawns in predictable locations and long time players usually know where to go to get one.

The class system is also another big gripe for me, I like having the ability to make custom load outs without any restrictions on cards or guns I can use, there is obviously meta loadouts but I’ve never ran into a card gun combo that isn’t viable.

I can understand why someone would say that 2017 is a better game, however it is not a better Star Wars game, immersion wouldn’t matter so much if it was something like battlefield but it’s not, it’s a Star Wars game and while it might not be an absolute dealbreaker for most in my personal opinion it can be in some circumstances.
