    yeah, im sorry, but barring a complete turd of a game from madden, I think madden will kick the living crap out of NCAA this year (and future years, actually). and this is from a guy who loves college football.

    besided, the atmosphere in ncaa 12 and ncaa 13 demo was very ho hum. was not impressed at all. bring back the 2005 home field advantage thing for crying out loud. at least that kinda made a difference.

        For those that say the crowd noise isn't an issue in this game, like the gentleman on page 1 with the Boston avatar, I think you have never been to a big-time college football game.

        The crowd noise in the game needs a lot of work. I felt on the PS2, in the days of the momentum meter, where the stadium would shake and whatnot, that was a step in the right direction, but the crowd on this generaton has been dead. I always max out crowd noise still find myself wishing there was more life in the crowd. There are lot of little nuances from college football games as far as crowd interactions that are missing in the game.

          Maybe It's different where I'm from but I have more fun at Saints games than LSU. Saints games are equally as rowdy, minus 20k people. The fans are equally as drunk and obnoxious at either stadium. Tailgating is better on the college side, LSU fans go nuts with the food. But I'm a Saints fan so I find it easier to join the insanity and scream and chant and cheer when I'm normally quite introverted. I guess it's all a matter of which team you actually care about more.

            I'm still baffled as to why NCAA and Madden say they've improved crowd noise every single year, when it's actually been the exact same since around 2004. Am I the only one that hears the exact same high-pitched lady yelling every 10 seconds or so, in every Madden and NCAA game for 8 years? It's the same "track"

            But at least NCAA got rid of that awful PA announcer that Madden still uses

              Becuase its illegal and and NFL teams would actually press charges if people rushed the field. Colleges dont care as much. But every once in awhile you get that dick of a school that decides to have fans arrested. An example would be the the Missouri vs Oklahoma 2010 game. #11 Missouri defeats #1 Oklahoma. Fans rush the field. Dozens are arrested.

                  It's not so much what happened to Kansas since then as it is what happened to Kansa that year. Outside of that particular year, I don't remember Kansas ever being relevant in football.

                    Exactly.

                    That said, the EA Development team said they worked on this aspect and are "very happy" with the result.

                      True. So what happened to all the other teams? I now have to go back and look at the polls to see where everyone was ranked. Oh and that was the first year the BCS pissed me off. How does Kansas get into a BCS bowl and not Missouri? We beat those losers.

                        Heres the best idea. Max out crowd volume. Turn down everything else. Then turn up your tv

                          NFL really can't compete, although the few times the Cardinals (I'm a Phoenician) have been good have been really exciting. The atmosphere at ASU games is so much more exciting than the atmosphere at pro games and that despite the fact ASU hasn't been that good for awhile and it's atmosphere hasn't competed with so many other places in college football. It's hard to describe but fans of collegel football know what I'm talking about. I love both NFL and college but atmosphere, NFL doesn't even come close.

                            I've stood on the field, during a game, at Arrowhead Stadium in KC and did the same in Norman, OK at an OU football game. In my opinion, the atmosphere at Arrowhead was about 10 times louder than in Norman. My ears actually hurt at Arrowhead. In Norman, it was just slightly uncomfortable.

                              Haha, I agree. But I got to go to the game for work for free. So I was quite happy with the selection.
