    NCAA Football 13 Interview - Sights and Sounds


    We recently had a chance to interview NCAA Football 13 Designer Christian McLeod and Producer Ben Haumiller.

    All questions were submitted, but not all of them could be answered at this time, due to coverage in the coming weeks. This interview only focuses on the sights and sounds of NCAA Football 13.

    Will we hear crowds reacting correctly in given situations, for example on 3rd downs, crucial plays, TD's, interceptions, fumbles, big hits, etc.?

    Yes. The crowd content and system is an area where you will hear some great improvements. Based on the recordings that were done and the new crowd mix implemented by our Audio Director, Aaron Janzen, you will be hearing the crowd swells react appropriately throughout the game.

    What about playing in large stadiums, compared to smaller ones? Adding on to that question, will we hear much of a difference between full stadiums vs. stadiums with smaller crowds?

    Yes, you will notice a difference between these stadiums. We made an effort to record assets at small, medium, and large stadiums throughout last season. We even attended a high school game to ensure our crowds sound as authentic as possible depending on where you play.

    Will crowds vary as far as regular season games, rivalry games, bowl games, and neutral site games? Speaking of neutral site games, will the crowd react to both teams, instead of recognizing the "home" team exclusively?

    Yes, the crowd behavior is driven contextually, and the type of game being played is part of that. We have the ability to drive different crowd reactions based on home / neutral / away.

        Man, this is so overdue. And they've had the ESPN package for a while now. Disappointing to say the least.

          Always more of "This didn't make it in this year" than anything. If the gameplay looks and feels the same, then what the hell were they doing that they could only add these 6 things. Spending time on Heisman mode that....well....no one ever asked for. I guess we will have to wait to make further judgement.

            So will all this be working after patch 1 or patch 2?

              I really think it sounds like they are turning the corner in the audio department. They are not going to fix everything from 12 to 13 but i love that they are showing an effort and that they are listening.

                I'm getting tired of "...didn't make it in this year, hopefully next year" comments as well. Unlike many folks here I do think EA improves the product each year, however like many others here I feel they need to do about 3 times more each year than what they actually do.

                  First reaction Haumiller is not the man for the job, second reaction I like the direction they are going in the sound department, presentation isn't there yet and gameplay hopefully will be much improved.

                        Agree with what others stated... The sound may be a huge improvement this year, but man presentation is lacking. Still nothing special happening for upsets? People storm the field almost every Saturday!

                          Your being too generous with that. The Ad Libbed commentary will be a bigger mess than Gus Johnson in Madden and will never be patched. The on the field presentations will work after patch 1, but as a result 10 more things will break including you wont be able to advance past week 4 of your franchise. By December patch 3 will come out after months of speculation and by that time everyone will "swear to god" that they wont buy next years version... and the cycle continues to repeat.

                            The things that did make it in the game sound promising on paper, but I remember being told the crowd would respond to situations appropriately last year.

                            I guess what I'm saying is I need to see it first to believe it.

                              Definitely a "prove it" kinda year for this team. I won't be buying it, but I'll probably rent it before making a decision. I don't have much faith in this team after last year, lots of promises that ended in failure, not to mention Haumiller basically laughing at customers in a few interviews. I have little respect for him after that and won't believe a word out of his mouth going forward.
