A small thing i noticed in the demo and with past NCAA games is that whenever you are playing at a neutral site stadium, Bowl game, or a Conference Championship game that only one team gets support from the crowd even though it is split 50/50. What i mean is the crowd chants defense on 3rd downs, shouts team chants, cheers big plays, etc. for the default home team. To me it Kinda takes away from the atmosphere

A lot of things are wrong about the atmosphere jayd. Let's hope the ea team notices this like we do.

Was it this way in last gen too? I don't exactly remember, but I think the designated home team in bowl games always have been the only one to get cheers.

it goes with the home team.

It is not a small thing, it is a big thing JayD.

I have suggested in the past that the NCAA (and all other EA Sports titles) should move to a 1 fan - 1 voice atmosphere system.

Thereby, the proportion of fans within the stadium will dictate how loud each chant is.

For example, if there is a game in the Big House and there are 100,000 Michigan fans, but only 5,000 Akron fans, you should still hear a faint D-Fence sound on 3rd and long when Akron is on D. Thus, for neutral site games and bowl games, you'll hear a more even tone. Furthermore, if there is a blow out and the loosing team's fans leave, their volume level should decrease significantly.

This shoudl be easy to implement. But I would think it would be relatively simple like this:

Volume of sound = (# of fans of team A)/(# of total fans). Based on the Mich example above you would get.

Akron fan's volume at = 4.76% of max
Michigan fan's volume at = 95.24% of max.

This can be recaluclated before any crowd sound is played, thus as fans leave, the volume decreases.

I agree, it is frustrating when you are the road team.

Great idea. Good post

Ya they really need to even it out to where both teams have support on both sides.
