no matter what capacity Trey is in the game it would have to be in the connected careers webcast.

I was really impressed with the audio playbook today. I really didn't think I would be for audio. Frankly after last year they could of done the bare minimum and it would of been a great improvement. However they didn't do the minimum and I think that bodes well for other things.

I love the idea of getting away from the playlists and creating original theme music for the game. If they're going epic this year then the scoring with the live orchestra is the only way to do it IMO. It'll give the game scope, a sense of grandeur.

As for the rest, I want to hear more game audio because I'm not blown away with the new sounds. Too many of the collisions sound like they take place in isolation, like you're listening to sounds recorded in a booth and triggered instead of a sound that takes place among the chaos. There should be more ambience. If this is going to sound like a broadcast with the booth commentary on top, then it should be mixed like what you hear on Sunday -- the noise of the crowd, the pads colliding, it should have a more subtle mix

And I hear the grunts and the quarterback cadence, but I still don't hear the pads popping in the trenches. When that ball is snapped, you should hear the offensive/defensive lines coming off the ball and colliding. Not just the grunts, but the plastic pads all colliding at once. They sound distinctive when the collisions take place in such a small space.

Just listen at the snap at the sounds the pads make as the offensive line comes off the ball, and defenders come up to fit. I haven't heard that sound yet.

The trench sounds aren't overpowering, but there are there, and it adds to the authenticity. You know you're in a football game. You know some serious work is being put in those trenches.

I still say they need to make the defence come an get you more an get off blocks. 2ND The receavers still need to go side to side while at the line of sremage. Every back, tightend, receavers should be able to go in motion befor the 30 second clock runs out like in real games.
