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.

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.

So you make the point for us either way, the games need better crowd noise

I'd do that but I don't need to hear that stale "d-fense" chant on 3rd down that you rarely hear at any college football games on full volume.
