Yeah, that is the real double whammy. They actually spent resources to re-do it, and make it worse. Of all the things in the wishlist thead, I don't think anyone asked to overhaul the entrances. So many other things they could have spent time on.
The entrances were due to be streamlined a bit, but that would taken a fraction of the develpment time. And maybe add an option in the presentation options for Full/Short/None entrances?
Ironically, I think the '14 pregame drags....Why do I need Rece to set the stage, then I get the musical dance around/future highlights thingy, then Nessler comes in an reiterates what Rece did?
