This would make sense if they did something better or more informative. Providing less info to distinguish yourself seems odd.

I hope your right.

In that video yesterday with Phil, he said, "There are the star players of the game and one of them is the key star player of the game."

Distinguish was a lousy word to use.

As I said a bit later, maybe they don't want to emulate everything that is on TV, heck I don't know.

All I'm saying if the star players didn't pop up, I don't know if we would be complaining , where are the starting line up pop ups.?

Why did they bring in NFL Films crews and other networks to capture the NFL feel and make it look like a broadcast and then change it so it's not...

Also,(I mentioned this somewhere else) why have these nice new banners and only show a few people and then not even mention them in the audio. A simple few lines like "Lets keep an eye on Witten today, he's been a monster all season especially in the red zone" ...It could even be generic like that and not even mention stats or anything (obviously it would have to make sense...Cant mention Witten being a red zone monster if he hasnt scored any TD's that year)

The starting lineup thing is not a big deal. Thinkingoutloud made a good counterpoint.

BUT if their intention was to include all 11 starters, and then there were limitations (as we've come to expect from EA's football games in some capacity), then I wish they would've dropped the player photos and just had scrolling text listing each starter/position.

Or as someone else had mentioned call the banner Key Players or something similar to this

I would like a window with the hang time for punts, but I don't see that.
