True about the crowd, but irrelevant to you might be relevant to most people as well.

You would be wrong. There are plenty of people who complained constantly about people wearing shorts during cold weather games.

I'm hoping that isn't the finished product in terms of crowd noise. If it is, then there will be absolutely zero improvement from previous iterations.

What examples of increased crowd intelligence did you notice?

Crowd standing during big plays and head tracking.

Look, we get it. You dont believe any significant improvements were done to the game. If thats the case, move on and let people who do see the improvements discuss the game.

Obviously it's going to always sound somewhat scripted because it is but it shouldn't be too hard to make it sound less scripted than it does just by creating better lines and making sure they don't repeat too much. MVP 2005 from a substance standpoint didn't really have good commentary at all, but it for the most part sounded really natural and unless Krukow would repeat the exact same thing twice in back to back sequences or say something completely stupid, it always sounded pretty good or at least natural. I don't really pay attention to the commentary too much but just watching the Steelers-Browns vid there's instances where it makes itself more noticeable than it needs to be and I think that's what creates problems. Good commentary should just flow and and not stick out and but it seems like they put lines that are almost like "hey, you're supposed to be paying attention to this so listen" and IMO those are the worst lines. There's also issues with there being too much dead space and when they use player names. Overall I don't think it's really that bad but I don't really pay attention to it that much and I'm not really bothered by it either way but I still think there's a lot of area for improvement there.

Yes, a main reason why commentary is so bad in sports games is because it's so condescending. Part of what they are trying to do with the commentary is give clues to new players who might be unsure of what strategy to use. So they always say super obvious stuff. It makes it unlistenable for me, so I always turn if off.

I'm discussing the game...

Didn't we have crowd standing for big plays in previous versions too?

For FIFA it only hasn't been brought to next gen because of tech. It's still active for last gen from what I can tell.

MLB has Diamond Dynasty which allows you to create a team for online unless that's gone now too?
