    Top Five Reasons NCAA 13 Will Top Madden 13: #4 College Atmosphere



    I might be biased because I live in a Big Ten city, but I haven’t been to a professional sporting event that reached the intensity level of big-time college football. A common criticism of the NCAA series has been the inability of these games to recapture that vitality. But with improved sound and extra presentation elements, it looks like NCAA 13 will get closer than ever. It remains to be seen whether EA’s move toward replicating the TV broadcast experience will be a success. But based on what we’ve seen in the demo, the NCAA atmosphere remains intact, and I’ll take that atmosphere over Madden’s any day of the week.

    Is the NCAA Football atmosphere a drawing point for you at all?

    Since when is Norman, OK a Big Ten City?

    This is the main reason I enjoy NCAA, even though I root for the Broncos more than any other team. The college atmosphere and intense rivalries make this game great.

      i know from the demo that they have crowd reaction better than the recent past, but hopefully they get the volume turned Up a bit this season.

        Turn up the crowd noise slider. It's probably at 50 in the demo. I turn it up to 100 every year, crowd usually sounds good.

          forget all these underwhelming team specific intros, give me a stadium shaking crowd

          to be honest, there isn't anything they can do to really replicate the feeling of being on campus on game day

            Is there crowd noise in Madden? Other than the year when you could make a fan yourself, I think Madden completely ignores the crowd. It would be nice if NCAA brought back the dynamic noise they had a few years back
            Even The Duke played football for USC!!!

              Haha BoMcCready wrote this, for some reason it's not showing up. Trying to figure out what's going on. Or maybe I just know something about college ralignment that'll shock the world? (Not likely)

                I believe it is always better than Madden, because I am a college football fan. That being said, as hard as they try, they will never come close to replicating game day in reality...

                  It's probably at the default setting, and if it's the same as it was in NCAA '12 then the demo has the crowd noise set to 90.

                  We'll see when the game comes out, but one of the selling points this year was working with the FIFA audio team and you can hear better swells in the demo but the volume of the crowd is too muted especially when the home team is on defense.

                    Definitely better than Madden....and in my opinion college football is a lot more exciting to watch than the pros every week. They'll never be able to replicate game day in reality, but there are a lot areas where they could improve and they have yet to do so.

                          This is a major reason why I love college football more than the NFL, in video games and real life. There is nothing like the intensity of a college gameday where every game means everything.

                            This thread quickly turned into reasons why the NCAA is better than the NFL not reasons why NCAA13 will be better than Madden13.

                            I'm not even a huge fan of Madden but louder crowds and improved atmosphere (read: USC's cheerleaders) does very little to bridge the gap between this game and Madden (or college football in general).

                              How different are Madden and NCAA? One is hyped up about twitter feeds and the other authentic crowds...Which would you rather have? Easy choice
