Get rid of the stupud emote wheel and we could have a loadouts system in the game.
Make R3 the emote wheel that way 4 more emotes can be put for the diagonal directions as well.
Click the R3 stick in. Last for 5 to 10 seconds showing the 8 emotes to chose from and either press X to confirm what you chose or the emote plays and there you go.
D-pad gets put to better use for loadouts.
Not simple but understandable.
