Hey Guys,
My name is Erle McCan and I'm the new audio lead for Madden 11.
I just wanted to reach out to the OS community and kind of get a feel for what you guys like in regards to the sounds of football.
Now when I say sound I'm pretty much talking about everything you hear.
However, I would really love to know what you guys feel makes football so special when you're either AT the game or watching it on TV when it comes to the sound of the game (Player chatter, tackles, crowd cheers/chants, etc).
I would also love to hear from all of the different fans for all 32 teams.
Have you been to a game in person to watch and hear your favorite team?
Were you at the new Cowboys stadium for the opening ceremony?
What did that sound like? Did the sound practically vibrate your ears off?
Let me know, I would love to hear from football / Madden fans.
Thanks

Erle McCan

I've posted this kind of crowd noise suggestions on a few boards and it seemed to go over well with a lot of people of course it would be a feature that you could disable if you didn't like it.

I would like to hear crowds that literally explode at big moments in a big game. I think it would be a great edition to have a slight rumble in your analog stick if you in a hostile environment in the redzone trying to score and the whole stadium is rocking like a real NFL stadium and you can feel it in your controller. This would add great atmosphere to the moment I can almost imagine players who would panic and those cool as the other side of the pillow in these situations.
