Walking to the line of scrimmage

I HATE that this skipped! This is especially true on defense, where there is so little time to make defensive adjustments. Usually, when the offense breaks the huddle, I'm watching where certain players go to lineup... is Julio going into the right slot, or is he lined up wide? Do they have any funny business going on with a WR in the backfield? Do I need to flip my play based on their alignment (I know I could auto-flip, but I usually like to have control over it). Then, as they are lining up and I'm processing this info, I call adjustments to my defense.

Now, since we skip the whole lining up animation, there is very little time to process all of this information before the offense hikes the ball. This is especially true for no-huddle situations! Usually by the time I call my play, the ball is immediately snapped... this is so annoying! Does anyone have any advice on how to counter this?

I'm with you I hate it to, it shortens the time you have to make defensive adjustments. I'm still getting used to making quicker reads and adjustments at the line, but the walk up to the line was key to getting a read on the offense and gave a few extra seconds to read it.

How do you know when to flip your defense?

I've always just left auto-flip on but I'd like to be able to control it.

The no huddle is where I struggle, I feel like I have about three seconds to find and choose my defense

It’s less bothersome playing offense, on defense though it makes me long for a toggle option.

I hate it as well. Wish you could toggle off. Breaks the no huddle clock management.
There is a fun stressful time between plays when your team is running up to the line that is now gone.

Also it’s just a dumb thing to do from EA and another reason this game and it’s direction is broken

I'd say this is a pretty moderate to severe issue, not having time to make adjustments, specially against human opponents, mostly on defense, is a bad thing...
