EA Staff (Retired)Hey @DeltaPhoenix42
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us! I cannot promise that such feature will appear in the game, but I will pass your opinion to our developers.

Any of these features we can't choose if we want On or Off, or even if it should be mapped to this or to another key is IMO a bad game design. We can't disable double tap to sprint, we can't change the Field of View on Spaceships, we can't change the key to trigger the double zoom (unless we change the melee key too as they are hardlocked), we can't disable AIM-Assist if using a controller on PC. We can't even play splitscreen on PC. We can't start a group with all members muted, we're forced to manually mute every new player who joins our group.
And all of this can be solved by simply putting menu itens to change these values which are there, but we can't reach. It's not creating something new, or solving a mysterious BUG, it's just giving us the option to change/use stuff that makes sense to be changed/used, be it because in another similar situation it can be changed/used (FoV for soldiers, splitscreen on console, AIM-Assist on console) or because it makes no sense we can't reach it (double tapping for sprint, melee button locked to double zoom button, disabling voice chat on ingame groups by default).
Please mods, pass the message forward that giving us the ability to change these properties will please anyone concerned with this, and won't displease anyone else as this doesn't have any reason to displease anyone, as it doesn't change game for those who don't care about these options.
Preach my friend! I absolutely agree with you, I'm all for player choice and you make a lot of good points! For me the most game breaking thing right now is the Double tap sprint problem but the dual zoom is pretty ridiculous as well! I just don't use the dual zoom because it's so awkward the way it's mapped, I'd map it to the scroll wheel up/down if I could though and then I'd actually use it...
Another thing I thought was weird when I first played the game is that some of the abilities that are almost the same for different classes are in a different slot. For example the healing abilities, sometimes they are in the middle and sometimes on the right. There is no way to map the keys so that all healing abilities end up on the same key. They should add ability key bindings to the individual classes, just add the interface to change these bindings to the class screen where you can look at the abilities and what they do!
Aim assist shouldn't even be present on PC games in my opinion because it creates an uneven playing field! There are mods that let you use the controller aim assist with a mouse and keyboard..... Now just imagine how broken that is! If you are going to add aim assist to a PC game though, then separate the players using it from those who have it disabled. GTA5 had the right idea here, if it works for them, it will work for other games too. Aim assist servers and no aim assist servers, even better is if you matched the PC aim assist users with the console players! Cross platform networking might be a hurdle but I know it's not impossible and it's not like EA doesn't have the resources...
Oh yeah and another thing, a lot of people on the StarWarsBattlefront subreddit are asking for more options on binding the dodge roll, I like it the way it is as it's own binding but I bet it's annoying as hell for them! I saw people asking for an option to double tap the crouch button to perform the roll and others asking for double tapping of the directional keys (WASD) based on the direction you want to roll obviously. Personally I have the dodge roll bound to the browser forward button on my mouse which works wonders together with pressing the direction I want to roll with WASD!
I know this post is 2years old but i havent found any other post where i can comment. I installed the game today and literally 15 mins in and i already want to throw it out the window. WHY is there no option to disable this annoying double tap sprint. My character sprint every time im supposed to be crouching to stealth on a mission.
how is this still not a thing? do the devs even play their game?
it's so annoying to use a sniper with this double-tap to sprint "feature"
