It's not a question of whether or not it bothers me, it's a question of good design.

If it was placed at the bottom of the screen, and made large enough to be seen using peripheral vision, it would serve the function of allowing the user to get a feel for passing... Without it being intrusive and disrupting the perception that a soccer game is going on...

Sorta like FIFA has theirs, no? If memory serves me right FIFA has a long skinny bar in the lower corner for their passing meter.
