Do you mute the Broadcasters?

[MaxVPower]

Just trying to gauge how many other players, like myself, mute the broadcasters and try to create an "at the stadium" feel.

I do, I enjoy the sound of the PA, the crowd and the sound on the field.

Re: Do you mute the Broadcasters?

i mute the commentary because after a season or two it becomes predictable and boring. I just listen to music or news radio when I play

I turn it down to the point where i can still hear it, but it's not prominent during the game.

Anyone notice how the volume fluctuates? like it'll be normal volume for a period of time, then it'll essentially click and the sound will be cut down by nearly half?

I don't mute the broadcasters. I find them amusing. My favorite announcing moment is during the opening of some of the games at Doak Campbell Stadium (FSU), when the war chant is sung. Personally, I think that it is hilarious.

Re: Do you mute the Broadcasters?

Yes, I haven't heard the broadcast team even once for the last three years. Even if it was done well, I wouldn't listen to it. Unlike most people here, I don't want the game to mimic broadcast presentation, I prefer on the field presentation as much as possible.

Re: Do you mute the Broadcasters?

So let me pose this question -
If given the option for an "in stadium" feel or ESPN Broadcast feel, which would you choose?

In Stadium - Replays shown on scoreboard and scores from around the country or conference shown on the scoreboard between the plays. Even have PA announcer update important scores during timeouts or between quarters.

I really don't see who wouldn't pick this option. It's more realistic which is why I thought everyone plays college football games. I turn the broadcasters off, put on some headphones, and crank up my TV volume as if my ears are going to bleed. This makes me feel like I'm on the field. Even when I do this the crowd still sounds dead. Garbage crowd volume.

I use to turn it off... Now I like it... But essentially it doesn't all that matter...

Re: Do you mute the Broadcasters?

I keep it on.

While on the topic of sound, at random points does anyone hear a sound of like a sword being taken out of a sheath? I could be going crazy but I'm pretty sure I hear it.

Re: Do you mute the Broadcasters?

I would but some of the crowd noises are more irritating IMO.

No I don't turn it off.

Re: Do you mute the Broadcasters?

I mute my TV personally. I'd rather sit in silence than listen to the same thing over and over again. Likewise, I mash A to get through the cut scenes and the studio updates. I know some people love both of these, but truthfully I just don't care. I just want to play the game. If EA would give us the option to turn those things off I would be much appreciative.

Re: Do you mute the Broadcasters?

Nope, I usually go a week or two with commentary on to see if anything funny or new comes up and then it goes right to 0 and crowd, PA and game noises go all the way up. The commentary is beyond god awful, has been for years, I can't stand listening to it.
