So I just made my own version of the new main menu design...

I prefer the white over the blue, but I think there's too many boxes in there, it's still too cluttered. Honestly I don't even understand why the trailer links have to be in the main menu? o.O .....or even the "your collection" tab, which takes half the screen space. We can already see our collection on our Origin, that isn't needed! They just want to push it in our faces what packs we have and don't have.

Let's try to put the Play button at the very centre, with the render on the back of it and TS4 logo above the render on top of the screen.

It seems like there's more of an emphasis on what we bought rather than actually getting to play the game.

This! Why I don’t love the color I really dislike the jumbled messy look. It’s really sad they changed it so much. It just wasn’t necessary. I’m fine with rebranding by why change it so drastically? Just too much change if you ask me.

Yeah. This design from whatever year it's from should've been enough.

Hope you don't mind if I add this but I made a mock-up of what I think the color should be compared to the one they debuted on the stream. I think the Darker Color I choose makes the new plumbob pop and makes it easier to read the text, but I'm only a hobby artist and know next to nothing about graphic design

So guys this is very messy but it's just so you have an idea of what I meant! (again, my MS Paint skills are not on point and I didn't bother to open photoshop lol)

Why not do this? I think the play button should be at the centre, isn't the point to play the game? (that blue is throwing me off though I prefer it'd be gray but I wanted to use the new icons)

Yes, I don't know why they had the need to change this main menu, it was fine like that!

@Sigzy05 That defeats the purpose the pack icons are ugly, the logo is ugly, and still too much wasted space.

The old version shown does the job quite nicely, thank you. Anyone that's bought packs knows what they have, no need for a space hogging reminder in your face every time. If there must be a blue loading screen, then Techbilt's is much better and for the reasons he gave.

Way better than EA's
What were even designers thinking?

You might be a hobby artist, but you nailed a basic design principle-readability! I’d hire you before whoever decided white on bright and migraine inducing blue was a good idea! ?
