Auto Instant Replays - How Important?

I'm in the same boat. It's not that important to me as I usually find myself speeding through them anyway. Though I do understand why some people like them, I myself just skip them to get back to the game. I do the same thing with cutscenes once I've seen them usually.

I want the option to see auto-replays after EVERY SINGLE PLAY.

And some brief commentary on it would be nice too - not a 2 minute long dissertation by Chris Collinsworth in that Backtrack feature.



So, yea, it's important to me.

I like for them to be there, but a lot of times I just skip them.

Very important. One of the reasons I love the 2k games is that you get a ton of auto instant replays. In APF, they'll show you replays on runs of 7-8 yards, which is cool.

Pretty important for a broadcast presentation. There needs to be replays for every score, turnover, sack, and big play. Big play doesn't just mean in yardage, it also means things like key 3rd and 4th down conversions, and plays where a player does something important statistically, like breaks a team record or something. Also I would like to see some for penalties (showing a hold, PI, etc), injuries (if they ever put real time injuries in), big hits, and on things like chain measurements or when the officials are debating a score or not. We saw this in that ATL/KC vid where Turner barely scored and the officials came out to debate it but there was no replay, really took away the impact of the moment.

10 - Instant replays are very important for presentation and immersion, especially for the offline Dynasty/Franchise player, which is the majority of us. Like Sage said, they should occur after every touchdown, as well as other big plays (big runs,etc.), turnovers, sacks, injuries, big stops on 3rd down, and so on.

I understand some simply skip through these eventually, so the best thing to do is what has been done in the past, allow those that want to skip them to press X (or whatever)... adding a slider to determine the amount of replays shown is also a great idea. Give us replays and give us options!

10 for me as well. I would like to option of "High" or "Occasional" much like 2k has done with their basketball titles. To me, it just adds to the immersion and lets you check out how the play came off -

What I'd like to see is a combination of the auto-replay style with a replay-on-demand system. In other words, if I want to see a replay of any play I hit one button to set up my own replay from my own angles if I want (as you can currently do usually by hitting start and going to the menu) or--more importantly-- hit a different button to immediately see the auto-replay style (where I don't have to take a minute to set up camera angles, etc., etc.). So I'd like to have more control over the "automatic" replays.

Sometimes the game doesn't automatically replay plays I'd like to see again but, at the same time, I don't want to completly disrupt the game flow and fiddle around with the menu replay system.
