The playcalling screen. Let's talk about it!

[unfriendlyghst]

Allright, this discussion is about the playcalling screen. Not anything else.
Obviously I am talking about the conventional 3 window playcalling screen. A few changes I would like to see patched in if possible:

Add the hash marks and down distances to the "play selection/playart" selection. When you are browsing the formations, you can see your formations in relation to the hash marks, but not the down marker. When selecting a play from said formations you only see the playart, no hashes or distances. I would like to see where my routes end up on the field but I also understand that Madden makes this unecessary by "stretching" some routes to the 1rst down marker anyways.

Make the solid blue backrounds for the playcalling menus more "transparent" I would much rather see the replays and or cut scenes/ on field interactions than what we have now. As it stands, the playcalling menus take up 80% of the screen and it just puts up this solid blue board that is more of a nusence than it is visually pleasing. What I measn is, instead of looking asthetically pleasing or neutral even, its a huge eyesore and feels like the game is hiding things from me that I would much rather look at and that is bothersome. Im sure the devs spent much more time on the look of the players and coaches and stadiums and such than they did with the playcalling screens and it's such a shame that we see the playcalling screen more than the actuall game.

Thoughts?

And this has to do with the Play call screen, not just the demo.

I would like the play call screen and the score bar to be removed until called upon. I've always wanted the board that coaches use in the nfl. Have it pop out of the side and simply scroll up or down or flip it over for defense.

The score bar I just want it to come up after the play until the snap of the ball.

Yes, lets talk about the playcalling screen because I keep asking why can't Madden show not only the general personnel to the defense after the offense has chosen their play but the actual player numbers that are taking the field like in NCAA.
