I'm normally not one to defend EA Sports, but...I can kinda sorta?, see why they went this way?

Yes, for the elite clubs, the pregame presentation in 23 is soaking wet. Getafe CF's anthem is a banger, for instance, and if a crowd rocker like that doesn't get you in the mood for some high octane metric football, check your pulse, you may not have a heart.

But for lower tier/less prestigious leagues like, say, 3. Liga, or MLS, they just had no audio to run there, so visually, it's just players walking out and standing there in silence. Hold X to Skip, and crawl the lineups.

You could argue, well enough, that it's possible to make the lesser leagues look better, without nerfing the presentation at the top. That's a fair point, and you can take it.

But then, how many levels down could they enhance the presentation, for parts of the game that the majority of players may never choose to see?

At the very least, having keyed environments that can be dressed for any team, from Bayern München to Colchester United, and then used for dynamic set pieces, does improve the fly-in for smaller clubs and smaller leagues. Or, on the other side of the coin, you could say it hides some of the inevitable gaps in presentation, which the full walkout only emphasizes.

It's definitely a different look, but there does seem to be a method to it.
