Assume the reason we don't see it is because when playing, we're not watching a game like at home, we're playing it, so it makes sense to hear rather than see the final whistle.

Thanks, Darko, really appreciate you passing it on! I’d also love to get your thoughts on an idea I posted about completely improving the preseason experience in Career Mode.
Right now, every season we receive three preseason tournament invitations, choose one, and play against teams that have already been selected. After several Career Mode seasons, it becomes very repetitive.
Instead, we could have the option to create and host our own preseason tournament. We choose the clubs we want to invite, and they can accept or reject depending on our club reputation, league, prize money offered, and possibly the other clubs participating. The prize money could come from our own club transfer budget, so attracting bigger teams would actually require an investment.
We could also have the freedom to arrange individual home or away friendlies instead of entering a tournament.
I think this could turn preseason from something many players quickly get through into an actual management experience — planning opponents, managing the cost, attracting clubs, testing the squad, and making every preseason different.
You’re actually the only EA Community Manager I’ve seen consistently reading our feedback and replying to the good ideas. I really appreciate that — thank you!
Regarding the preseason idea, I think this one is pretty unique and has a lot more potential. I’ll post it separately with more details in the next few days so you can take a better look at it and hopefully challenge the idea further.
