Silent Tackles and BIG Player NAMES on Coordinator View

[RLaguna]

PS3 Version of NCAA 14 DEMO

Guys...whats up with the lack of pads, and helmet sound fx hitting when 2 players collide on a tackle??....its like 2 marsh mellows are colliding??

It seems like the demo has missing tackling sound fx in NCAA 14

Another thing is....where is the option to turn OFF PLAYER NAMES under the controlled player? I like knowing who is on the field pre snap but when the ball is snapped, these huge player names under the controlled player and the ball carrier ruins the realistic sensation for me and is quite distracting ...especially when trying to enjoy the wonderful new coordinator view....I'd simply like the option to not display the NAME if I choose.

This is some constructive feedback for EA....anyone else notice these 2 things?

Well I played on 360 and I didn't have a problem with the names and im not sure how to fix that but I can see how that could be annoying. However the sounds did seen really low for some reason, I thought it was just me haha.

Its not even that they're low....the tackle sounds are non existent!

To test this...I went into the volume settings and lowered the Crowd and Announcers all the way down and it was quite interesting...you hear all these other subtle sound effects that add a nice effect to the game like players catching the balls, the soft padded turf sounds as players run , the little grunts, groans, and sighs....it really adds to the game to hear all these little subtle sound effects that get drowned out when you have the crowd and announcers up to normal

BUT, the tackling, colliding, contact sound effects are completely missing.

However you do hear the crack of the pads when the ball is snapped from the linemen interacting with each other, but try to put a hit on a ball carrier and your treated to Simon & Garfunkles sweet sound of ...SILENCE!

Very unfulfilling!

And for me the Player Name across the bottom of the player during a play is something I wish I could turn off like in the other Sports games...kills the realism for me.....Especially when players are so small in the coordinator view

Don't play on Coordinator Cam. Turn the on field FX up

Re: Silent Tackles and BIG Player NAMES on Coordinator View

the sounds are muffled at times hopefully its just a demo thing..im on 360 and I haven't seen the big names on coordinator cam either must be a PS3 thing..leads me to believe ps4 will be filled with this kind of stuff too..lolol...j/k

Only time you hear a tackle is on a big hit and you will hear a "Pop" noise

Re: Silent Tackles and BIG Player NAMES on Coordinator View

Wouldn't the lack of pads popping and tackling sounds be almost non-existent due to the fact that coordinator view comes from the "press box", high a top of the crowd, even though you are looking at the field end zone to end zone? The crowd noise should muffle those sounds...... just my opinion of it.

I have noticed the lack of pads hitting SFX as well. it is probably just a demo issue. I notice it at every camera angle, it doesn't matter which one you use

thats what I initially thought too...that is why I lowered all the crowd volumes and announcers.............the sound fx are simply missing from the tackles

You hear the pads and the pops when the ball is snapped at the line of scrimmage, but you dont hear them on tackles

I just hope EA fixes this....and gives us the option to turn OFF player names

Re: Silent Tackles and BIG Player NAMES on Coordinator View

for clarification, Im just talking about the coordinator view...they seem to be completely missing.

You can hear them on other cam angles if you lower the crowd and the commentators. And they actually sound quite realistic because they arent overdone like Madden games of old...and they sound natural. But they are completely missing from the coordinator view.

Re: Silent Tackles and BIG Player NAMES on Coordinator View

Anyone know if the release version fixes the silent sounding tackles?.......anyone have the early download version from EA to observe this in Coordinator view?


Also did they add an option to TURN OFF Player names after the snap?

Re: Silent Tackles and BIG Player NAMES on Coordinator View

Even on the retail version I still hear muffled to basically no sounds of pads, tackling, etc. of players. I only hear muffled sounds of pads smacking when the ball is snapped then afterwards it is basically players just grunting or talking. This needs to be looked at tbh.

Re: Silent Tackles and BIG Player NAMES on Coordinator View

this is a bit of a shame.....the lack of realistic pads and hit sounds really ruins the immersive feeling of impact
