I kinda wish they used the used the interface and style of the "fresh in-game interface" box as the base for the scoreboard and stat overlays, instead of the clunky looking graphics that they chose. I'm not a fan of the designs, but it'll work.

Also, I am worried about the dead spots in commentary that were obvious on the webcast. When they showed off the pregame, as soon as the music stopped, it got quiet -- kinda that air-sucked-out feeling. Then, as the kicker readys the ball, all commentary ceased and there was little crowd noise -- another energy killer. And why was the crowd going nuts at the beginning of the runback?
Just an observer -- no hating attempted.

Supposedly, there isn't any dead spots. It was a PP presentation, so, hopefully, other game play films will show no dead spots.

We'll see.

My concern about that though Road, which I hope CD attendees can bring up when they go back, is it seems to be an issue with the Gameflow audio maybe overriding the in-game commentary from triggering.

Come t think of it, I will pose that question to ChaseB.

To add to that, sometimes the coordinators voice would over-ride the commentators. I'd like to find out if that has been addressed for gameflow.

Yep. Maybe it's just another early build thing.

By the kickoff, it wasn't just that the commentary stopped, but the crowd also got real quiet for a good five seconds, and then went nuts once the ball was kicked off. Unless this was on purpose so as to save it for the audio playbook, it seems that dynamic crowds/crowd swells are not in the game.

If they are using the same sound technology as NCAA, crowd swells will be in the game. They are for NCAA.
