Sound and Atmosphere - is great w/True 5.1 Speakers

[Philstat]

I see a lot of people saying that the atmosphere is stale and somewhat non existent, with a good set of TRUE 5.1 headphones this game sounds amazing, the fans - music - on the field everything. If you are trying to hear everything with a 2.0 speaker system, it's not going to sound good, I have these two sound systems, and both sound incredibly immersive with this game.

Remember this game, is completely coded for 5.1 surround sound. If you turn the announcers down to 35 and the PA to 96 and the field to 93, this game comes alive with a good set of audio equipment.

I have mine hooked up via a 5.1 system too. I wouldn't be able to go back to regular TV speakers now. Of course, I think all games sound better with 5.1, just my opinion.

I like the atmosphere, the white stripes in background gets me pumped when i'm rallying in the 4th.

That's great when there's something to hear. I wonder how that silence is in 5.1? This game is amazing when the crowds are alive and you feel like you're actually playing in front of thousands of fans.

But the dead areas that continue to plage this series is just mind blowing.

I also love it when the players talk. "Screen! Screen!" "Draw! Draw!" And on third down "Lets get off the field D!"

I agree. I have a bose system and it sounds great....a few dead areas, but not enough for it to be a game killer.

Gotta admit using my Pulse Elite headset and the sound is 10x's better

Got solid reviews, seems to be a good bang for the buck (giggty) and it'll sound a lot better then my tv speakers =)

Plus it'll be cool to hear the crowd go silent when I beat teams on the road in College Gameday
