Heroes vs. Villains introduction blurred background

Product: Star Wars Battlefront II
Platform:PC
What is your issue related to? General
Summarize your bug Everytime I play HvV the introduction of the heroes and villains has a blurred background that does not follow the outlines of the heroes and villains. Sometimes the background blur is positioned partly over the heroes, so the heroes are blurred on some parts of their bodies. Other times the blur of the background is not present on the background, but you will see a outline of the hero that is not blurred (see screenshot).
What is your gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name? Julybil
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Can you tell us the date (MM/DD/YYYY) that you saw the bug? 4-6-2018
What time did you see the bug? (HH:MM AM/PM) 5:00 PM
In what game mode did the bug occur? Heroes vs. Villains
What is your time zone? ECT - GMT + 1:00
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play HvV and look closely at the blurred outlines and you will see that they do not line up with the bodies of the heroes.
What happens when the bug occurs? The blur that needs to be on the background is now placed on the heroes or the blur is missing around the outlines of the heroes.
What do you expect to see? That the blur of the background follows the outlines of the heroes and the villains, so all the blur will be on the background only and not on the heroes.

As you can see in the screenshot the blur is placed incorrectly, however the outlines of the blur itself look similar to that of the heroes. I think the blur do not follow the heroes correctly during the movements they make in the introduction.

    I'm sure someone tried to make a cool-looking intro for this HvV mode, and the blur was supposed to be to focus on the characters.  But, to be honest, this whole opening sequence is just another stupid thing to have to wait for during the in between times of HvV games.  So we wait a long time for the next match to load, then we wait a long time for "one more player", then when we finally get that player, we have to wait a pointless 30 seconds until the match begins, then we have to wait again while they show us this pointless opening sequence.  This long, long wait between matches has to be changed at some point (please fix gameplay bugs first, though).

    I completely agree. I would rather they get rid of that stupid intro and let people spam their emotes like in BF1. What's the point of having 30 emotes when there's really no opportunity to express them.

    IMO, after waiting quite a while to start the match, I don't need the hero/villain intros. They could make that so much better if they show the team, and the members can real-time perform the emotes.

    I think they wanted to make it a bit more cinematic by changing the focus in the shot, but it is so roughly done that it doesn't work. IMO, they should remove the blur completely. It serves no purpose whatsoever except for making it look a bit worse.
