That's exactly why they were removed. I think Clint said that they were removed because they weren't up to standard to the players on the field. They didn't have a hit box and I'm sure some players found they were a distraction since you could confuse them with other players when playing in online modes.

Speeding up the game allows players to get more games in which makes the metrics look better.

My comments on this subject were obviously dripping but seriously... my fear is that EA will over-invest in this then pat themselves on the back about how they listen to the fans therefore incorporated refs on the field and be all proud of themselves.

Hip Check: If a ref has this ability, he may hip check a player as they go by then penalize the player.

I don’t even notice that there’s no refs on the field. Absolutely the last thing I’m worried about when playing football game

This take usually comes up a few times a year.

But the reality is the NFL doesn't just have players on the field by themselves. Although I wish they did doing that last play for the Cowboys vs 49ers playoff game LOL

Ref's are a huge part of the game and fans/coaches interact with them often in some way while they are on the field.

Now when you couple that with the fact that EA seems to have nerfed penalties it becomes a head scratcher that here we are in 2022 with new high powered consoles and the game developer is telling us they can't put ref's on the field because it interferes with gameplay......:jpshakehe

You've got all kinds of unrealistic visuals on the field for players and HFA yet you can't get the ref's on the field to signal missed FG/PAT or First down signal.

Seguing into what PM is thinking, I want penalties called before the refs are installed.

In before some smarty brings in the meme, Why Can't We Have Both. lol

No penalties, no refs. lol

I don’t notice it much either, until it’s a field goal. No refs beside the post showing if it was good or not sticks out badly. Although I would love to have them everywhere again.
