It's petty, but pancaked defenders still being in competitive mode, but gone in sim mode makes me smile.

Why would pancakes get removed from sim mode? I’m not sure that makes sense.

When Clint disagreed about removing the walk to the line hurting immersion and said that it makes it more immersive not to have it in at all, made me shake my head. His point is that you’ll get right back into the game faster and that enhances immersion. Breaking the huddle, walking to the line and reading the defense is apart of the game! We want to simulate the NFL experience. They’ll put it back in next year or the year after and say “see, we listen to the fans!”.

Yea, that is a weird answer. I'm not sure Clint understands what the word immersion actually means.

Big, strong, run stuffing DT/tweener DE doesn't just get thrown on his back because the defense deploys a light box.

If the defense deploys a light box and simply because of that a defensive linemen automatically gets thrown to his back or the entire line gets pancaked, that is the people involved in this area of the game not doing their job well. Pancakes happen in real life and they’re common enough.. so I’m not getting it. My guess is they can’t figure out how to fix it.

Clint only listens to tournament players, that’s why he is saying that.
