    Dynamic Crowds - when will this happen?

    It has always bothered me that nearly every sports game (EA, 2k etc.) has crowds that do not leave during the game if the home team is getting beat bad or similar situations.

    Also, does anyone know if 2k10 will be unrealistic again this year and have stadiums full all the time, which rarely happens... Look at the Florida Marlins for example, the stadium is nearly bear in outfield also Oakland as well. Anyone know if 2k will have correct crowd attendance this year?

    I would like to see crowds leave during a blowout or show up late, but I'm pretty sure that's not in this year, but we may see empty seats scattered throughout the stadium.

      I just hope they get the game play to a solid level this year, and then build upon it with extra stuff like this next year.

        We all want the game to play right, but stuff life this adds realism to the game. Stuff like rally towels, vendors walking up and down the isles, trop cowbells, mascots etc all add up to a realistic game, but I don't expect 2k to have all that stuff yet.

          I thought I saw some pics earlier that showed a bunch of empty seats in a stadium. Gotta look for them

            I hear you, but if the game play sucks, then all these other bells and whistled won't really matter much.

                The problem with dynamic crowds is that they are easy to screw up. For example I once had an NHL game with this feature. I lost my first two games to start the season, and then in my 3rd game, the arena was almost empty. My guess is that the game determined I had a low winning%, and thus gave a small crowd.

                There are many variables that go into the equation. Fan base, where the team is in the pennant race, the opponent, weather etc.

                  Maybe when the PS4 comes out in four years or so... Or the next Microsoft console.

                  I don't think these consoles can handle it... Maybe I'm wrong but I would have thought we'd have seen it by now if it could be done effectively.

                    It's been in the other game since last year. It's not perfect, but it is dynamic and stadiums really empty out in blowouts, etc. It was apparently improved upon for this year, as I recall. I also believe 2K may have actually had a form of it themselves at one time as have a few other games.

                    Right now, I really don't see it happening for this game until they get their more basic stuff figured out for sure. VC seemed to hit a lot of key areas for 2K10, so that's a good sign. If they indeed got that stuff working well again, I think we'll start seeing more stuff like this in the future.

                      This past year's NHL game from EA did part of this really well. The crowd would really react to the current state of the game. When an opposing player hurt one of your team's players, that opposing player would get booed by the crowd everytime he touched the puck. That was great.

                      I agree. I would love the crowd to react appropriately. Get amped up at certain times and boo at appropriate times. Empty and full stadium attendance would be great in a franchise situation, as well. Didn't they do that in one of last gen's Madden Franchise???

                        I would love to see Dynamic Attendance but i don't see it happening into the final year on the 360. And then were going to have to start from scratch again OH the joy.

                          The NCAA football series has dynamic crowds. So I don't see why they couldn't add it to all sports games. I think it adds something when your beating a team by a lot and 3 quarters of the stadium empties out. Or if your team isn't playing too well throughout the season only selling out half the stadium or something like that.

                            ??? Where do you get this from? According to Microsoft, Natal will greatly increase the lifespan of the console. Plus, with real time ray-tracing only a few years from practical application, it would be moronic for any new system to launch now.

                              I would love to see that but I think they should fix other issues before they try and tackle that.
