    How to turn off that annoying band sound????

    Whenever the away teams get a first down the band starts playing like a stupid drumline song, it's awful and annoying and ruins everything for me I'm sorry.

    what can i do besides muting the whole damn TV??

    Nothing, at least nothing I know of. Sorry, but it's part of the college football atmosphere. Have you ever been to a high school football game? Bands play usually after EVERY down and sometimes throughout the whole game. Mostly the same for college. Personally, I enjoy it.

        It's not even the entire band though it's just the percussion and it's extremely grating. I understand that's it's part of the atmosphere but the percussion plays after every single first down, every single stop on 3rd down, every single INT, every single TD. I wouldn't mind it if there were like more than 2 drumlines that get played. And I am NOT saying that the band should not be in the game because the band truly makes the college football atmosphere. I am saying that they could mix up the drumlines or maybe just have the entire band play.
        Tell your line to protect on this play. Heck, tell your line to protect on every play; not just here.

            They play the same two drumlines repeatedly?

                I just wish you could hit pause and have it stop, like you can with custom stadium sounds. Played Virginia recently and they scored like 41 points on me - man that fight song is LONG and LAME. They score a TD, kick the XP, kickoff to me, and when I'm lining up on first down, it's STILL playing. Ahhh!!!

                Also, the default band stuff should be tied to the menu music or something so that we can at least turn it down in the audio options. I like to play with the volume pretty well cranked sometimes, and anything that's not a custom sound is WAY too loud.

                    Never thought I'd agree with a Michigan fan but, yeah.

                      How can you complain about bands in a college game?? That has been missing from this game for far too long. If anything they should add more drumlines!

                          Are you kidding me? The drum cadences are the best part of the game (from a music perspective). I actually think they should stick to those and get rid of the generic fight songs they play every now and then during the game. Now those are trash.

                            You could keep them from getting first downs....

                              Stop hating!

                              Seriously, though, the version of The Good Ol Song (the song you are referring to) that EA has put in the NCAA games since NCAA 2003 is terrible. At least they re-recorded The Cavalier Song (the song played by default when UVa scores a touchdown) this year, though.

                              ...and how in the world did you let Virginia score 41 points on you? Our offense is some kind of terrible on this game.
