If they have taken it out for good then I am out for good. Like you, I'm a presentation junkie! (Can't call myself a nerd lol) Presentation mode always made the game more immersive and realistic. I was pissed when I bought 23 and it wasn't even an option. Felt totally ripped off. What made it worse was EA didn't seem to really respond in a way that made us think they even cared. Which sucks because I have been playing since 94. I'm waiting on game release reviews and if full mode presentation is not back then I'm keeping my money. I'll go back to my older versions and even though I'm one guy that won't dent their bottom line I will be one loyal customer they lost.
