Why do i have this strange feeling that you cannot enable that meter off... Maybe it's because EA did take us the choise to choose between full or condenced presentation so there was no choise anymore to do anything than you didn't see replays or anything else that matters... Unfortunately i believe that there isn't possibility to put that meter on or off so they just force everyone who buys this game to watch that meter like they forced everyone for condenced presentation wich was an huge mistake by EA...
I have this feeling to that we are forced to play with the meter on the ice EVERY SINGLE GAMEAnd it is not the for the good the direction the game is going.They take away presentation (to short intros no replays etc) which is very important for the realism of the game and they put things on the ice graphics such as pressure meters and what is next?The developers must ask themselves are we create the best and realistic product of the NHL brand or is it more like a NHL arcade fantasy game before it is going to far.Then a another company can take over the NHL license and EA can do what ever they want to do.
