Origin allows you to customize the download speed, the FPS counter and more

You couldn't alter download speed before? That's hilarious.

download speed really necessary parameter in 2017?

LOL. Well said.

Origin looks like its now almost, nearly, kind of, ready. ...ish. :P

Well, Better late than never.

If you have an Nvidia card, you can turn on the fps counter though the GeForce Experience program.
Settings > Share > Settings > HUD layout > FPS Counter

If there's one thing EA does well, it's not doing anything.

Such a slow platform

Important things that should have been there from the start, but my main issue with Origin is its Terms of Service and surprisingly invasive capabilities (based on the last time I inspected its internals over a year ago, maybe they've made changes to those capabilities since then but somehow I doubt it). It's a platform I've politely declined and EA have yet to convince me otherwise. Surprisingly, I don't really feel I've missed out on anything special in the years since I stopped buying EA games, back when Origin became their exclusive platform.

Cheers!

Origin is really trying to improve their platform. I don't really get all the hate with it, just because you like using Steam doesn't mean that all the others are garbage.

At least EA is making improvements.  I can't see them returning to Steam so anything they can do to make the Origin client better is a plus to me.
