1. The balance between new and returning characters. Back when Sparking was announced, a lot of people (including me) were hyped for the return of the fan-favorites like Shu, Free, Rantaro, Sisco, Lui. Now, here's the thing. These guys have completed character arcs (there's a reason they are well-liked), meaning, to get a good story, you need new characters. Sparking failed at it, there were only three (mediocre) new ones. And the old ones started losing swiftly, so people who were into it purely because they wanted to see the character(s) they were biased together were probably also disappointed. 
Lesson: If you want a good plot, do that. If you want to appease fans, do that. Don't do both (unless you are a good writer), or you end up with the anime called Beyblade Burst Sparking.

2. Hyuga. Just Hyuga. I'm fine with Hikaru (though I like Valt, Aiga, Drum and Bell more) and don't care about Lane. This protagonist took hotheadedness to it's logical extreme, and I hate the result. I can count the characters I actually dislike in Burst on one hand, and Hyuga is in there. And if I didn't already hate him, the fact that the anime treats him as the more important protagonist over his brother makes me dislike him more.

Welp, looks like it was a bit of a rant after all

1- Unequal power distribution between the Asahi bros. If they wanted to focus on Hyuga, they should've just made Hikaru a supporting character/the deutrotagonist, but since they made him a protagonist too, they should at least make them somewhat equal in power.
2- The Legends are just there as cast filler. Like, come on, you're throwing away seasons' worth of character growth here. Valt doesn't do much,  Shu was only there because Lane needed a tag partner, Free starts out with some sort of character mini-arc but they scratch that, etc., etc....
3- The anime deviated too much from the manga, and that was a fatal mistake. Taking out the new cast's character arcs made them worse than they already are in many way; Hyuga has zero development, Lane got some but it was too late, and while Hikaru was the decent one out of the trio, even he was lacking in character.

WHAT? THE HECK? So you’re saying that the creators of Beyblade threw away SHU AND VALT?!

Not exactly; they just degraded them a lot in the past couple season they barely feel like the characters you knew and loved back in the day.

The people from the Legend Festival?

No, like the rest of the Legends from the manga like Delta, Phi, Xhaka, Gwyn, etc. Wakiya was the only legend from the manga that ended up being in the Anime and he had no importance aside for being used as Jet Wyverns advertisement.
