The difference is that the tipoff is an active part of the game in basketball. The players on each team don't start tackling each other while the coin is in the air; it's completely disjoint from any other football mechanic.

Effectively nothing is lost by cutting the coin toss and re-engineering the start of games in a manner where the user can get from team select to the field more expeditiously.

I was just thinking about this. My guess is a menu pops up and you never see the coin flip.

I kinda actually glad they changed it. I didn't like being rushed through it in Madden 25.

Liked what I read, my favorite feature is Qb Inaccuracies and receiver Efforts. The passing game is one of the top reasons I havent bought this game in five years and now the finally addressed it some what, can't wait to see what it looks like in gameplay.

Also I have one question. Is wr/db interactions/jostling in the game before the ball is thrown? I have not heard this talked about at all, so Im thinking its not.

I'm pretty sure the XFL did this. I may be wrong though.
