Randomize the crowd and sidelines more for 10

One of the most annoying things that I have seen in all of the NCAA Football and Madden games is repetitive animations. I know that you can't get 80+ characters doing different things all at the same time. Instead, can't we have the animations be delayed from one player to the next and more random? The one thing that I hate is running down the sideline & seeing 10 players all jump at the same time while the other ones all clap at the same time. Can't this be tweaked to make it more random?

I'm not a programmer, but I think the point of all the simultaneous stuff is it takes up less memory or whatever. That's funny that you say this though, I never notice the sidelines while playing.

Agreed. I'm some what coming to grips with the fact that for some reason, we wont get dynamic sidelines. Ok, the sideline players have looped animations that repeat constantly, its just how it is. At the very least, just have a different loop animation for each player. Check out the cheerleaders on the sideline during actual gameplay (not the cutscenes), they're not the most high resolution characters but they're better than the sideline players. Create the sideline players like those cheerleaders or something. It'll do for now.
