Has season showdown been removed?

Seemed pointless to me, "docking" you EA points for "running up the score" I really hope it's gone

Towards the end of the MaddenNews video that was released today they mentioned something about sportsmanship, but I can't tell.

"Is there any tweaks or anything to the sportsmanship aspect to the game?"

Ben replies, "It's still about showing your sportsmanship. There's no additional tweaks or changes to it, but you're going to see the cpu show sportsmanship whenever they can."

Then he just goes on talking about how he hopes people punt on 4th down when they play online.

Ugh...

Can this feature be toggled off?

I am sorry but I just think it is lame to be getting flashed by the CPU when pass the ball on 3rd and 15

If you people don't like it so much, you shouldn't really care when you lose points.

Its annoying seeing "running up the score -100" or whatever it is when i go for it in the 4th to ice the game. its annoying, let me play how i want to play, EA shouldn't Dock me points because my style of play is different then the ideal style they want you to play. /End rant

[moylan1234]

but the points don't mean anything so who cares if you get docked or not?

My concern is that they are wasting valuable memory or disc space with it. I hope they removed it or WILL remove it next year.

...and hopefully replace it with more TeamBuilder stuff....or FCS schools...or a second disc with FCS schools....I'd totally pay extra if I had to for THAT. But dont let EA know that.

It's just annoying, It shouldn't matter, but it's irritating when the game is basically telling you to "stop doing that". Passing on 3rd and forever when up by 21 in the 2nd quarter isn't unsportsmanlike like, wth am I supposed to do, take a knee for the rest of the game? It's more like a pet peeve than anything, of course it has no real effect, but that doesn't make it any less obnoxious.
