Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is execution, and it is a single point.

Battlefield Hardline leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.
Battlefield Hardline
Close-quarters gunplay and high-speed vehicle chases
International Superstar Soccer Pro 98

Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Battlefield Hardline
Cops-versus-criminals humans adapt heist tactics
International Superstar Soccer Pro 98

Battlefield Hardline leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.
Battlefield Hardline
Spawns and loot grabs shuffle engagements
International Superstar Soccer Pro 98
Bounces and deflections add bounded match chaos
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Battlefield Hardline
Gadget loadouts and mode-specific route knowledge
International Superstar Soccer Pro 98
Formations and set-piece routines have learnable best answers
