Adding Standing Crowd to Open Areas

I mean, don't raisin head Coaches bother you when you see them? Since when do Coaches have raisin heads?

Yes, we do have those weird looking unrecognizable raisin heads that don't even wear team colors. Yes.

Someone mentioned this in the Jimmy Fallon thread, but when Clemens get injured, a dude with a black face and white arms comes out. That seems pretty redic, I hope it gets fixed.

Naturally we wont' see eye to eye on everythign One thing for me though is that I feel that the graphics are good enough... or have been good enough. I don't really need the game to look better than it has last year, it was pretty darn sharp. But I do like little things to be added, like dirt to fly up when guys are running around, accurate field degregation, more people on the sidelines, end zone, etc..etc..., dynamic crowds would be fantastic... I mean, I would take those things over graphic detail.. you can certainly tone down the graphics in Madden 09 a little bit and not really feel it... or at least I wouldn't raelly feel it..

adding more crowd better increase the crowd volume...

The standing crowd is a small texture and a small effort to put in. We are not losing any preffered features by adding this. IMO this looks way more authentic and better.

Thanx 4 the info.
