It’s not fair to merge any concern with animations/cut scenes into this thread. It lessens visibility and awareness on just how much condensed presentation affects the game.
you even had one user above chime in (before the thread was merged) saying you can turn on “full presentation” meaning he clearly had no interest in the big presentation thread, to have known it was removed, but that maybe he was intrigued by the goalie change cut scene being removed.
There are different factors that all “relate” to presentation that can all be assimilated into a lump sum, but it’s really unfair to throw it all into a once-already locked discussion (and continuing to be edited and modified), to just shut everybody else up.
Honestly the front page should be littered with presentation concerns. Goalie changes, pre-game, intermission, face-off, goal replays, play by play, penalty replays, time-outs, score reviews, it just goes on and on.
EA should be ashamed.
