Re: NCAA Football 13 Sights and Sounds Interview Questions

Does the crowd look better? More action and people on the sidelines?

Re: NCAA Football 13 Sights and Sounds Interview Questions

How is the sound in the game? Does it sound like an actual NCAA football game now? Crowd going wild on an interception / touchdown / fumble?

Re: NCAA Football 13 Sights and Sounds Interview Questions

Will crowds vary as far as occ games rivalry games, bowl games, and neutral site games?

[rufusone]

Re: NCAA Football 13 Sights and Sounds Interview Questions

Has the volume of the game been fixed since last year? Remember in 12 we all had to crank up our receivers to here anything good. Has the crowd noise been redone to reflect more excitement?

Re: NCAA Football 13 Sights and Sounds Interview Questions

Has the size of the ball been fixed?

Will we see new player faces and differences in body types?

Are there multiple dreadlock lengths, long blonde/brown hair as well. Can dreadlocks be applied to all player faces or are there still only a select few face styles that they can be applied to?

Re: NCAA Football 13 Sights and Sounds Interview Questions

Does the crowd and atmosphere FINALLY sound realistic this year?
Does the crowd react dynamically to WHAT IS HAPPENING ON THE FIELD? (3rd downs, crucial plays, TD's, Inerceptions, Fumbles, Big Hits, Big Block, etc...)
Does the crowd ebb, flow, and swell like a real crowd does? (Currently it just has one constant roar and that is it)

Are on field sounds better? (Currently it just sounds like a bunch of car's crashing everytime you hike the ball. Pads dont sound anything close to that when they hit each other..)

Thanks!!

Re: NCAA Football 13 Sights and Sounds Interview Questions

Are there more realistic cut-scenes for penalties, celebrations, etc.?
Are there more team-specific celebrations after a big play?
More shots of coaches/real players on the sidelines at all times?
Is there actually a chain gang in the game? you know, because its football.

Re: NCAA Football 13 Sights and Sounds Interview Questions

Are there actual broadcast angles for pre and post play like Madden 12? Are these same angles used for replays now too?

Re: NCAA Football 13 Sights and Sounds Interview Questions

Will the players on the sidelines react to big plays as they develop? Also, will Brad and Kirk break out of a conversation if a big play happens while they are talking?

[volstopfan14]

Re: NCAA Football 13 Sights and Sounds Interview Questions

Are the trophy presentations for winning games (bowl game, rivalry game) or for individual awards (Heisman) or both?

Will the crowd sound like a real college football crowd this year?

Are the sidelines more dynamic this year? More shots of the coaches?

Will Tennessee run through the T?

Re: NCAA Football 13 Sights and Sounds Interview Questions

This.

I'm tired of seeing the cardboard cutouts on the sidelines. I doubt they changed anything but this is something that 2k absolutely nailed. Hoping EA follows suit.

[blkrptnt819]

Has the look of the sideline been improved? Is there more live action celebrations, animations and not cutscenes? (E.g. on big plays or td is the celebration more live action animations and less cut scenes).

Re: NCAA Football 13 Sights and Sounds Interview Questions

Sights:
The field has always been too small in proportion to the actual field space needed for plays/movement to visually look fluid.

Q/A # 1
Why is there a hesitation to pull camera angles back some and expand the field (sideline to sideline especially) so that more of the Visual artistry can be seen and Visual movement can be more fluid to the eyes?

So much Visual work is missed because everything moves so fast on such a small Visual box (horizontal length of field specifically).

Q/A # 2
What issues are preventing the sidelines from being more dense with dynamic animations?

Q/A # 3
Will there be a playable Broadcast Cam?

Q/A # 4
Will Dynamic crowd attendance be in?
What will drive the crowds to be dynamic?

Q/A # 5
Madden 12's pre-game stadium fly-by would be perfect for NCAA with so many College
Stadiums available.
Can such a pre-game fly-by be done to show College Stadiums in this release?

Q/A # 6
Can more on-field Pre-game cut scenes be included in this years release?
kickers/punters kicking the ball, player's fielding KR/ etc....

Sounds:
Q/A @ 1
Improved dynamic crowd sounds matched to dynamic size/attendance and on field action?
