The field looks so empty without refs

Keep in mind that he cut out a lot in his video. It's not nearly as quick as it looks in the actual game. He edited out the play selection screen between most plays. It's quicker, but it's not like what we're seeing here.

The refs weren't in the beta either, right? Because if they weren't in the beta either, I literally did not notice it.

I played for hours and hours and never even noticed until someone here griped about it LOL. Doesn't really matter to me at all, I never even noticed them in 19

Why were refs removed again?

They didn't even look that bad for them to completely take them out. They could've kept them in the game while they worked on improving them in the background. I know some might not think it's a big deal but the point is refs are part of the NFL experience like them or not. So if they're in the game, they should be in the game. Not seeing the refs raise their hands for touchdowns, made field goals, etc. takes away from the experience. EA needs to rethink this decision. At least add them back for simulation mode...

They weren’t a glaring eyesore to take out , but then being out is barely noticeable to me also. For me it’s a fine either way issue ,

EA said they didn't like how they looked at all in relation to the players.

Personally I think it was a resource issue, because it seems pretty coincidental the game runs massively better this year in regards to instant control..
