From someone I know that has the game, it cannot be disabled, at least he couldn't find it in the options.

Wasn't realism their stated goal in one of those developer interviews?

That is no good. Why put these arcade features in a sim type game? I don't understand.

For instance, if a running back knocks a defender over on an inside run there could be a loud steam whistle sound like a train coming through. Badly thrown passes could start a duck quacking sound, etc... can you guys think of any others?

Foddzy... I don't know if your trying to be funny or not... but, this post is hilarious.... I mean a tear jerker....!!!!

I think it sounds pretty kool. I do not know why. It just adds more excitement to it.

It does sound arcadish, but really adds to the experience.

Maybe they should also start adding voice over stuff like "Rampage!" or "Godlike!" when you make consecutive completions or consecutive hard hitting tackles. lol

I Guess the sound of the cannon was Ea's idea of presentation.Instead of making the clap when a receiver catches the ball(ala real football games)they make a shotgun.Great job EA way to be original.
