Stupid substitution aninmation "highlight"
I can't be the only one bothered by this, but I haven't seen anything posted about it anywhere. It starts happening in the second half of the match, cuz that's when the subs start.
This "bug" or feature, whatever you want to call it, has been in this game since 23–24ish, if I remember correctly. I only play single-player, so I don't care about the online aspect, but since EA is adding authentic stuff to the game for it, I think they might just care a little. Just a toggle to disable simple stuff for all the online players who just want to skip everything would also be nice, I guess.
For some wild reason, the animation for substitutions is prioritized over any in-game highlight replay.
- goalkeeper saves a clear goal = watch how players get subbed
- unclear offside position you want to see? Better watch how someone gets subbed
- a foul without a card? Look at that beautiful sub animation we got!
In-game highlights have been getting worse anyway. You see more cornerkick animations where someone just puts the ball on the grass instead of seeing the save. For some reason, you see a replay almost every time if someone misses the goal. I remember how they just showed a small icon in the corner that someone was subbed, and they only showed the animation when the ball went out for a throw-in or something.
I guess they love that animation so much, that they have to show it to us everytime.
