Stats and progression became a big problem for many gamers after the release of Outer Rim in late March and early April. EA DICE said that it would focus on fixes for these issues and it has delivered. 

The May Battlefront update comes with an assortment of fixes for stat and progression problems including a few changes to Hutt Contracts. Here's the full list:

- Stats: Resolved an issue in which players didn't get any stats after completing rounds of Hero Hunt in certain instances.
