But with gameplay being most important I can always play the band songs via MP3 like I have been doing for years.
Some people go to schools with terrible bands so they don't know about real bands. And no, I'm not talking about Ohio State or other crappy bands that don't actually march.

If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

Re: NCAA = SOA...same old atmosphere

The only presentation upgrade that I desperately want is team entrances. I don't think you need 119 entrances or specific soundtracks, just something that resembles the teams entrance.

I think you could take care of about half the teams with just a cut scene of the players running out with their team's flag leading the way and their fight song being played.

You could also take care of Texas, FSU, Oklahoma, Colorado, USC, GT, etc. by having an entrance with some sort of a mascot leading the team.

I've noticed more teams using smoke so that could be an entrance.

Then you have a couple schools like Clemson, Tennessee, Michigan that have really unique entrances.

Now, my team is the Iowa Hawkeyes. I don't need their exact entrance or the song, Enter Sandman before they come out but it would add so much to see them running out to "On Iowa".

Remove the bands??? That would be an odd and disappointing move.

Re: NCAA = SOA...same old atmosphere

One thing i wish they could do is, if anybody plays MLB 2K7 will know this. As the game is loading you usually see the outside of the baseball stadium right? Well as the game is loading they can maybe do a sequence that could show outside the school's stadium. Show tents with people tailgating or the team's walk through. Show all this while giving a breakdown on the key players. Kind of how they do for the pitchers as it is loading for MLB.

Re: NCAA = SOA...same old atmosphere

The Madden and NCAA teams needs to hook-up with the FIFA team because those guys made a game with the best atmosphere I've ever experienced!



In this shot you can see fireworks going off in the air, confetti falling from the rafters, trash on the field, fans throwing streamers, and beach-balls in the crowd; and this is just the PRE-GAME festivities (the stadium is even more lively DURING the game)...NCAA & Madden take notes!




In this shot you can tell that something of significance has actually been won!

So EA has a department that knows what atmosphere is, they just need to show the football guys how it's done...
