Realistic Crowd in NCAA 12?

[The_Wise_One]

I read somewhere that there were variable crowd noises in this years game. Does that mean that they will be louder for bigger games? I just played Florida state in my Miami dynasty and it sounded the exact same as my game with duke. The crowd plays a big part in college football so why haven't they improved it?

Yes, they took stadium sounds for 5 stadiums so it will be different.

Did they just take sounds from 5 different stadiums or did they take different levels for them as well?

Seems like 15,000 fans going nuts would sound different than 100,000 fans sitting idly (hello, Michigan!). Ideally, seems like we'd have a whole range of levels for the 5 different model stadiums.

they took recordings from various volume levels. lowest was a match between I think North Texas and FAU(or FIU or some other Sunbelt team), which the crowd was basically non-existent, to higher level match-ups(don't remember which match-up they recorded) in bigger stadiums.

kinda related but do you know if they did this for madden?

Did they say if the crowd would react while plays are developing? For example, when back bursts up the gut and is 15 yards down the field with nothing but green, will they be at max loudness?

Crowds do cheer when the ball is up in the air and things like that. I don't think we know the specifics, but one of the very first videos talked of it.

Speaking for myself, I'm going to get much more into my games if the variable crowd is indeed in. I can picture it now:
Big 3rd down, 4th Quarter...
My opponent tries to go over the top, the crowd gets really fired up
My CB knocks it down, and the place groans or goes silent...
My anticipation continues to creep up the spectrum closer to obsessed
