Varied crowd attendances

[BL8001]

I am in a manager career with Dijon and every game I have played the stadium has been packed with fans.

Every exhibition and fut game I have played the stadium has been packed with fans.

But varied attendances do seem to exist. But only in the weekly challenges.

Check out the Nantes match from a week ago.

The same very small attendance was in the last weekly challenge match with the 2 Arab squads.

I don't have a photo of that match but here is another Nantes photo.

Why are there no small crowds in the career mode? Or have I just not seen them? I mean I would think starting a career with Dijon would mean small crowds at first.

Just go have a look at the udinese lazio match.

Empty stands.

Aussie timed challenge. Empty stands.

Good point, hopefully this gets addressed. It is pretty frustrating to watch two low-end teams play each other with a full attendance. EA's probably thinking, "We give them living worlds with actual people in the stands instead of cutouts, and theyre complaining??". Truth be told, we need varied attendance.

Yep.

I mean somehow we have it. Ea can control it in these weekly challenges. The only issue and this is weird, they keep the same lots of people in the crowd crowd noise even with the emptier stands.

But I will take that if it means we get varied crowds.

If they can do it in the weekly challenges I would think they should be able to patch this into the full game.

I really wish they would look into this. Varied attendance adds so much to career modes.

It seems no game since maybe NCAA 2005ish has succeeded in variable/dynamic attendance. Maybe the NBA2k series has it, I'm not sure, but this should be the very basics of creating a career mode.

You can't make every game feel exactly the same. At the very least EA could add some setting (similar to weather selection or pitch pattern) that users could use to select the crowd size (i.e. sold out, 80% full, half full, nearly empty & behind closed doors).
