Then you should have an option for it.

Some people want live band fight songs, others would like "Stadium" beats. You know... from the actual stadium.

This isn't the NFL we're talking about. I don't know of any college teams that rely on piped-in music like the pros do, it's all about the bands.

Ok... it's a feature where the producer is telling you they want to give you more of "your" content.

But who cares about that. It's NCAA football. Hell put naming restrictions for files to include the word "band" in it while you're at it with that mindset.

I don't have a problem with including some sort of loudspeaker-type reverb effect as a second option. But if there is only going to be one setting, that should not be it. It just isn't appropriate to the subject.

Good point. But then you'd have to figure out how to get that "open-air" sound proper. It would have to vary in volume in relation to your distance from the band. And it would have to be from the field perspective. What'd be cool is if that perspective/volume could be changed as the game went through cutscenes of the crowd. That'd really add to the atmosphere and give you that feeling of "being there." Ijust hope they get it to a volume level where you can hear it loudly. It's been too soft so far. Hearing "Hail to the Victors" is 3/4 of the reason I like to run up the score.LOL....

Exactly... right now, it's just a sound file playing off the game in HQ.

I want the game to understand where the sound is coming from and be aware of it... Maybe it's too much to ask for from such a new feature from them.

For the record coog your comment has much merit but I would like to see it more than just playing HQ song files directly...

I'm happy with the 50 song limit since you can make some songs universal.

Alot of songs I play for the Iowa Hawkeyes I'll probably just keep for all teams.

Start Me Up for Kick offs, Zombie Nation or Hells Bells for 3rd and 4th down, etc.

Then I'll make Iowa specific (I won't actually need alot of files because their fight song is played for a lot of situations).

Finally, I'll get classics in to specific stadiums. Jump Around for Wisconsin, Sloopy for OSU, etc.

I wonder if we'll be able to access these in Dynasty...IE say I'm doing a Texas dynasty and I want most of their songs in there and also the ones for the people they play, but would want to edit them for next year as the schedule changes.
