Custom Stadium Sounds Blog In an effort to bring more user generated content to NCAA Football 09 on the next generation consoles we've included a Custom Stadium Sounds feature. This system allows you take the audio files you have ripped to your XBox 360 or PlayStation 3 and play them when various events occur during the game. The audio file will only play if you are the home team in their stadium and there are just over 20 scenarios for you to choose from including: kickoff, tackle for loss/QB sack, turnover, touchdown, start of the 4th quarter, defense on 3rd down, penalty on the visiting team, and more.

Yeah, but since you can make some of them universal that should help a little.

Obviously, we'd like to reinvent our pregame, halftime, and post game presentations to provide the visuals needed to make having those events in Custom Stadium Sound worth it to your experience. But we definitely don't believe it ends with just playing audio files. This feature was a step towards exploring user created content from a different angle whether visually, audibly, or even from a game play stand point. The goal of the NCAA Football franchise is we want to get as much from the actual game "in the game" but there is something to be said about it being "in your game."

'bout damn time!

I really hope the audio has that "echo" as if it is coming through a speaker, rather than from the PS3 directly.

If its done like they do it on "The Show" then it'll be good. I've heard my music on "The Show" through the stadium speakers and it sounds good.

One key difference - the music in MLB is meant to sound like it's playing over the stadium PA system. It's supposed to sound pre-recorded. That's not the effect you would want in NCAA, especially if like me you're going to be adding missing fight songs, chants and other band sounds. Those sort of audio files should sound live, not canned.

Yes, that's exactly what I'm referring to. The reverb automatically put on audio files is amazing.
