Timing is way off on both presentation and gameplay.

★ Guide

I really like the features in this game (both new and old), but the timing of things is making them difficult to use. 

 

The biggest case of this during gameplay is the speed at which the CPU snaps the ball. There's no time to make adjustments, look at composure, look at matchups, or look at the abilities in the pre-snap menu. The CPU constantly snaps the ball within 3 seconds, giving you no time to use or look at any of the features that were put in the game. If you want to pump up the crowd, you have to do it the second the huddle is broken, and even then, the animation carries into the play, and you can't do anything else pre-snap. What's the rush? The CPU is never even close to getting a delay of game, no matter how loud the crowd is. They always snap the ball right away like there's no issue. 

 

There are a lot of great presentation elements that pop up and disappear before you even have time to really look at them. It feels so rushed. The intro to the game feels rushed. The intro to an offensive player on the first drive feels rushed... it pops up and then it's gone. Then different presentations throughout the game highlighting players and stats. This stuff needs to be extended with an option to skip for those that don't want to see it.

 

Speaking of skipping, there has to be a way to skip through the half time stuff. If it's a close game, or I'm winning, I'll watch, but if I'm getting blown out by 30 points at the half (I know I suck), please let me skip the recap at halftime. Please. I'm begging you.

 

If you fix ANYTHING though, please give more time for pre-snap defense vs the CPU. This has been a problem in (that other EA football game... you know the one) for years. You're better than that. Fix it.

what presentation?  the only thing i see is the intro into the stadium.  the rest is lazy.  no break in for studio updates and poor commentary to go along with it.  can't see or hear a score. "OU is up by 15".  okay, whats the score, where's the graphic? what quarter? how much time?  presentation is awful in this game.

@Jokill05 I don't disagree with you, after every score it seems there's some sort of update on another game, but it's really poorly executed.

"Notre Dame is up by 10... (30 seconds of rambling)..." then finally tells you who they're playing against.

I've found the commentary DECENT considering it's all new, there's a pretty good variety, but certainly not ideal.

As far as other presentation, like I said, there's some good stuff, but comes and goes so fast there's no time to even really notice it. When the player matchup screen comes on, by the time you look at who the two players are, you don't have time to look at the featured stats. Just a lot of things get rushed through, so there's very little time for immersion.

The game, to me, feels like they're catering to ADHD 12 year olds.

I wish we had a bit more updates what’s going on in the dynasty. I feel it’s to much play by play. Also when I break a record there is no mention of it. And I would like to see the replays outside of play selection screen. It goes so fast
