Empty seats at superbowl? And Pump-up/Quiet Crowd feature?

[green94]

Yeah I just played the NFC Championship, Bears/Falcons at Soldier Field and it looked like a preseason game... stands were half full. It was snowing so maybe weather has something to do with it?

Its a known bug. When it snows or rains, the crowd is at 50% capacity. Should have been fixed by EA but they chose to ignore it. Had a conference championship game in GB where it was 6 degrees and the stadium was half full.

(2 teams with a huge following of football loving fans). But yet there were TONS of empty seats?? What exactly affects attendence in Madden 11? 2nd-Does pumping up the crowd actually have any effect in-game? Like causing the other team to be unable to call audibles? Messing up snap counts or somthing? I found an old thread on this from Madden '09 http://www.operationsports.com/forum...ting-down.html But Im not sure about Madden 11? Anyone have any input on these 2 things? The empty seats look so silly at a superbowl...

I noticed this to with the crowds during Superbowl, Didn't really feel like posting a topic about it or the crowd noise because I feel there are way bigger issues that need to be worked on, however it is annoying to see a stadium half full for the Superbowl.

1. theres nothing u can do about empty seats....AND IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY THE FANS ONLY WEAR A CERTAIN PLAYERS JERSEY IN THE STANDS, i traded mcnabb 3 years ago and their is no #5 on my team yet every fan is wearing a #5 jersey

2. the most pumping up the crowd does is cause a false start for the cpu

Good - hopefully it will get fixed next year then. I see that it is raining in Dallas for my Super Bowl.

That really made me laugh for some reason.
