It's not disc space that's the issue.

Foremost is the time and effort that would be required to budget to this that would have to be taken away from some other aspect of the game; however easy or hard this is, it still takes time to do, and none of us here on OS will ever have a true gauge of how much that is. Second is a RAM space issue; the PS3 and XBOX360 only have 512MB RAM; space would have to be made here to hold the chain gang in memory if it isn't already available.

Teambuilder definitely needs to improved. It has not been touched since it was added. There needs to be more customize abilty in Teambuilder.
Perhaps a stadium builder too.
It would make teambuilder more popular if you can set up your custom playbooks in the teambuilder website.

Where do you get this number from?

57% of all statistics on OS are made up on-the-spot.

But common sense should also tell you that there "is" coding involved. It's not adding more people on the sidelines. The Chain Gang comes in on close measurements, how many times does this happen in the course of a game, 2 times at the most. Yes it would bring realism, but EA seems to not want total realism for their simulation games,

I am by no means knocking your gripe, just trying to see it from EA's perspective I guess.

Sudden explosions of sound when you break clear of the secondary, when a big pass goes up and your receiver comes down with it. Game winning scores, big defensive stops, let crowd noise build as you chase the QB down and finally make the sack. I want the excitement of the crowd's EXPLOSION of ecstacy when your kicker nails that game-winning fieldgoal in a close game against a rival. Even the negative reactions in crowds are fine. Like when a big pass goes up and the receiver drops it, or maybe how the crowd reacts to an ill-timed penalty against its home team.

Do you remember on the old PS2/XBOX NCAA's the top 25 stadiums meant something? When you pumped u the crowd it meant something and the crowd could actually rattle the younger guys or the small schools? I used to love that. It was like they told you: "good luck going into tiger stadium with your freshman qb, cuz he WILL be affected!" I really enjoyed that

I posted pretty much this same thing but it just got passed on. I like how also where if you called a hot route for a young player they might run the wrong route. And would maybe drop passes, fumble, ect because they were rattled.

Now all it does is show your Play art squiggle... And that's it
