This is not a little thing, this is the 2nd most important next to da football. Think about it, EA didnt put the chain gang in da game wth. Qb goes to pass incomplete, ref picks up da ball, looks for the ref that stands in front of da chain gang , ref yells were's da first down and the other ref: I dont kno. Game freezes and its been like that ever since. (07 had chain gang, 09 had celebrations both gone but probably will return as new features)
