There are multiple times in a game i can't get the line changes that i want because the game runs too fast for me. With the full presentation you could easily change your lines during a replay and now there are times where it only takes 2 seconds from the whistle to the faceoff.
I’ll second this. I often change my lines, Strategies and Faceoff formations on the fly during cutscenes. It actually king of feels like I’m coaching my team a bit when I do that. Since Hockey is one of the few sports where players are substituted right in the middle of play pauses in play are a great time to organize your team and add some structure to what is otherwise a chaotic sport.
I'll third this, I love playing a slow simulation-type game and honestly this year has allowed the most in that. The game feels better on a simulation level than I've ever had it before with my current slider set. It's sadly ruined when I am forced into a line change with a tired group just because it goes from whistle to face off!
Not to mention, some people like myself just enjoy watching replays. I have to manually go into the main menu and break the flow of the game just to watch an AI goal this year, I do hope EA sees how big of a deal this is to the single-player crowd.
Fourth. I must add that this effects online play too presentation is condensed even further. Shorter cuts, and between you loose control and sight of strategies/lines hud, which is already a decade old bug. This leaves almost no time to change lines. Half the time you don’t even see time out cut scene, it’s straight to face off, with totally wrong line on ice.
