Flow State Visuals Adjustment

The current Flow State Visuals are highly controversial due to its arcade style esthetic that directly conflicts with the games attempt and marketing as Simulation Gameplay.

As EA Game Changers and the Broader community has requested to have this be something you can turn on or off, I understand that you may still need a visual queue for the gameplay, therefore I put forth a suggestion that keeps the mechanic still available, accessible, and immediately more tolerable.

Instead of turning the entire screen gray and muffling the audio, a more fitting approach would be to keep the effect subtle by having the Flow State meter gain a glowing, sparkling, or fiery outline when activated. This would clearly indicate the state is active without distracting from the gameplay or altering the overall presentation.

This would instantly read as polished, less invasive, and more familiar with other EA game titles and other sport franchises.

If you wish to combat any negative press, feedback, loss of sales, refunds, etc I highly suggest this be something patched in within the first few patches. Not something the community has to wait another 3 years for.

With the utmost confidence this change would come with huge fan fair and grant a more favorable view of the devs and game title. With such sentiment and remarks,

"Wow they actually are listening to our feedback and made the changes we asked for and now the game looks better. I am going to buy, recommend, and support the game long term now".

Sincerely,  someone that knows what the community wants/needs.
