Confirmed setting names
The five names are confirmed, but a name alone does not define behavior. For example, the public article does not state Auto Snap timing, conditions, or interaction with the other options.
The same evidence boundary applies to Auto Quarterback, Coach Suggestions, and Pre-Play Audio. Their defaults, dependencies, and save behavior remain unknown in the cited material.
- Auto Quarterback — announced name; exact scope queued
- Auto Snap — announced name; timing and dependencies queued
- Coach Suggestions — announced name; recommendation behavior queued
- Pre-Play Cutoff — core 15-second behavior described by EA
- Pre-Play Audio — announced name; exact audio behavior queued
What the 15-second cutoff changes
EA describes an active communication window before the snap. When the play clock reaches 15 seconds, that window and the pre-play menu close, locking out additional audibles and hot routes.
The official article presents the cutoff as a pressure and authenticity feature. It does not state whether the option is enabled by default, whether commissioners can force it, or how accelerated clock and quarter length affect the experience.
Preset goals, not preset claims
Choose one goal before changing settings: a mostly hands-off viewing experience, an active play-caller experience, or a practice setup without communication pressure. Then change one option at a time and record who controls the snap, quarterback, and pre-play menu.
These are test profiles, not confirmed switch combinations. No combination is established as best until its control boundary is reproduced on a named platform and build.
How to verify each option
For every setting, record its exact menu location, in-game description, default value, whether it is controlled by the user or commissioner, and whether it saves globally or per Franchise.
Then test each setting alone before testing combinations. This prevents one automatic behavior from being incorrectly attributed to another option.
