I don't agree with this at all. I always watch the halftime shows. I don't think it should've been removed because some people don't watch it. I would've been happy using the same halftime show from last year, instead of what was shown. Presentation is also a key factor in simulation. Opportunity was blown on this one, since you already have Shaq and Ernie in the pre game.
The rest of the game looks awesome though.
