BAL Pre-Match Chat

[Sandy_Tait]

There has got to be a way of disabling that stupid pre-match chat screen in BAL. It's utterly redundant and pointless and there's just something about the silly background tune and the jaunty way that my manager wanders in and starts waggling his jaw that really rubs me up the wrong way.

I could understand the addition if it served a purpose but the manager never says anything particularly insightful or even relevant and you get a tactics summary when the match kicks off anyway.

I know you can skip it but you still have to sit through a few tedious seconds of the Larry Laffer alike manager before the game lets you get on with the match. And when it's before every single match... well, it gets me quite seriously annoyed

Am I the only one who loathes the pre-match manager chat screen? Are their others out there who find it just as irritating? Am I getting worked up over a really minor niggle (when there are so many other niggles that deserve more ire)? Has anyone worked out a way of disabling this feature?

I see your point. I mean it would be a good feature If the Manager said something more in depth that adjusts the way you play for the better, instead of the repetitive 4 or 5 different tactics that bare little burden on your overall end of match rating if you don't follow them, but still, It depends on personal preference. I would like it a little more if it wasn't the same manager + changing room whichever club you go to, but still, it makes the experience of playing as a single player more realistic; aswell as the fact that other players in your team comment on you're recent performances.
