No one told them to make them into music videos but people probably said they don't like how intros are always the "same" and long. (Teams without a custom entrance had the same generic entrance everytime) EA took those complains and instead of improving the entrances they just threw them out the window completely and went in a differant direction.

I just don't get the direction of EA football games.

Totally agree. I think Texas had the longest intro in '13, and I counted 11 separate clips in the intro (Players leaving the locker room, Bevo, Fans, the Drum, running out, Bevo standing up etc.....). Even if it can't be real time, how about randomizing about 5 of those clips into the entrance each time?

Adding Reece to the intro in '13 didn't help either. It didn't add much value, but dragged things out.

And while I love the old intros, I do recognize that some people want to jump right into the game. There really should be an option in the presentation settings to bypass it.

I would be surprised if there are many people who by-passed the '12 or '13 entrances, but actually watch the '14 intros. From '96 to '13, I almost always watched the intros....but I just skip the '14 entrances....I have seen my RB do a spin move at midfield enough times.....and I refuse to watch my guys dance around pregame to the country music intro (no offense to country music fans).

Most people skip all the intros and cutscenes, so my guess is that long presentation sequences aren't needed for the majority of players

My issue is that EA made a big todo bout capturing the pageantry of college football so that's why they added those unique entrances, now that's gone. It's not like they weren't skippable. I doubt by eliminating them it allowed them to add anything else to the game.

Sounds like you might play mostly online? For mutli-player games, you may be right? But for many single player offline guys like myself, the "immersion" is a big factor. So I am not so sure about "Most".

So instead of adding a option to not use intros they threw them out.
