This is unfixable.

This is from the source master of the audio. When this w3as mastered...it must have been mastered too hot and had some area's of audio waves that will clip at certain spots.

What is amazing is they had this same issue in Madden 11 and ignored it.

No excuse IMO for this to happen with a multi billion dollar company like EA.

Poor quality control in the audio department.

Simple as that.

not just the audio dept. this company is concerned with selling quantity than they are at selling quality. it is unacceptable to release a "premier" game year after year with this many flaws. you know they saw these things prior to releasing it. if this company allows us to see these issues as clear as day, then just think about what they don't want us to see.

Feels pretty much the same to me, with the big difference being that the field looks great now! The audio pop happened within 3 minutes of playing my first post-patch game The PA and commentary had very little if any changes. Still a delayed sound when the ball is kicked off, still announcing 'the starting quaterback' still not syncing up commentary with the action. Like when I score a touchdown and I hear 'and the attempted pick comes empty etc.' Hopefully it won't crash, but sounds like some people are already having that happen again.

You know what? At the end of the day, this is just a video game...............

Can anyone confirm that the Vikings' field got improved, or if it was even bad before? I never got a chance to play there pre-patch.

yes metrodome field turf is fixed...no more oil patches or whatever people were calling it...

This is dissapointing to me.

The patch notes SPECIFICALLY said "fix numerous audio/commentary issue."

Soo.. what the heck are the "numerous" things fixed?

No Audio-popping fix...
No numbers instead of names fix...
No intro PA announcer fix...

So far as I can tell they didnt actually fix anything with the audio...

[futhamucka]

I've never heard any popping before or after the patch. I need to play some more to see if they fixed the player names that I hear a lot. The Browns' number 1 pick Phil Taylor is called 'Ryan Taylor' by the commentator. Not a massive problem, but I'm going to be hearing that for a while in my franchise as he's a beast.

Did they fix the franchise Qb stats? (Low Qb Ratings, Low completion %)

I made a new playbook and it's still messed up. There are a bunch of sets that I never put in there, and I didn't even get the set that I did. I put a weak twins formation and all it's plays, and it's not even there.

I'm hoping they snuck this in, but I'm not holding my breath. Seems like something they would've mentioned in the notes. Gonna check it out once I get home.

I've read, maybe in this thread, that there are names added to the PA announcing. There were at least 3 names or maybe more.

The intros I've heard if they change on the depth chart, they won't announce the new name, just the number. That happened to the Steelers. Hines Ward was the #1 receiver, now it's Mike Wallace.

Yeah, not so much! Pretty bummed about the lack of detail given to the audio. I guess they boosted crowd noise a bit, and the PA voice is slightly louder.....

Oh yeah, it doesn't rain as much! That is a good thing!

Do I have to "inject" it by replacing something or do I just drag from my memory card to my hard drive?

Yeah, I never heard a pop in M11 either and I played a ton of that game. I just have to keep my sound very low when playing Madden 12, don't want any blown speakers.

This is because the top WR and/or RB changed in the depth chart. Same happened with the Steelers.

The rosters when the game shipped had Ward as the no. 1 WR in the depth chart. And both his name and Ben's were called during the intro. After the roster update, Wallace was promoted to no. 1 WR. The PA announcer started saying the generic intros. I manually changed the depth chart to make Ward no. 1 again and the announcer says their names and colleges.

Thats just flat out bad programming and shows the intro were just a gimmick to make the advertisements look like it had added all this presentation. They could have easily programmed it to say the name and the college of every player.

you inject it into the cache folder on your HDD, you can use programs like Xplorer360, Xport360, Modio etc.
