I think you guys need to play the game first before overreacting about stuff, I honestly never really noticed the ticker at the bottom and the drive goals are not really that intrusive either. The stats ticker works like last year, the goal and xp feedback is separate. Some things were done to improve the awkwardness of end of game scenarios in commentary, and they're still working on presentation and commentary.

You can just play the game and forget all the goals in game, it's not mandatory, it's just something to make the game more fun. I'm not crazy about the xp system myself but there has to be a progression system somehow otherwise everyone would stay the same as they are in year one.
