Auto Instant Replays - How Important?

That got me thinking; is it possible that when they set up the game to be played at E3, they set the auto instant replay switch to off?

I want to see replays and hear commentary on them after almost every play, just like on Sundays. But...

I want the play calling screen to be smaller & transparent and have the replays play behind that. I'd only want big/amazing runs/passes/returns and TDs to actually interupt play calling.

Honestly, whenever I have a big play, I go right to replay mode and dissect the play. I never just watch the auto replay. Maybe this is some old habit of retrofitting a replay system. Then again, I also turn off commentary and just do commentating in my head.

Cut scenes that play while I'm selecting my play are different.

That's probably a good reason to add the OFF switch to auto replays. The holy grail of the auto replay is MLB09. My goodness they nailed it!! They even let you turn them off if you like, AND... they have a FAST PLAY mode that cuts out all cut scenes too. If EA wants to follow a model on how to implement this, just follow this game. That way you make EVERYONE happy.
Simple as that.

I'll be satisfied with the option to disable auto replays as long as i can quickly press the 2 trigger buttons and it brings up manual replay (which i do after almost every successful and study the defenses)

is this in current gen madden, i kno it was in ncaa 08 current
