Watching Tom Brady running around behind the line like a madman barking out signals looks really cool, yes, but I also want to do all the things I've been doing pre-snap in Madden for the past twenty years. That muscle memory isn't going away, there's no gameplay reason for the delay, and there's nothing I can do as a user to reduce the delay, so the end result for me is borderline frustration. When I talked to Clint about my impression, my takeaway from him was that animations would be adjusted (wrt length and speed), but that the feature was absolutely staying in the game because the presentation of the quarterback position is especially important to the team.

Basically you want to keep playing Madden ball.



But joking aside, the bold could be false. There could be a very obvious GAMEPLAY reason for this to be in the game: to limit the amount of time people have to EXPLOIT the game. I'm quite sure that's a big reason why they did it. Especially if they are looking to go the e-sport route.



And if it isn't a reason, it's a wonderful side effect.
