Custom Stadium Sounds are great, but at the moment, they're too much of a hassle to implement in the game beyond a couple of teams. The whole process of getting the audio into the game is convoluted. And then when EA announces we would be able to import more than 100 files at a time, it doesn't work for XBOX. They really have to get away from making every mp3 file a playlist. That in itself is dumb.

Stream them from your laptop. It takes about 5 min total to set a team's playlist via streaming and then simply input the instances before the game.

Literally....5-10 min tops. Well worth it for the added atmosphere it brings.

Not streaming? Hassle. Streaming....piece of cake.

I don't even care I spend a couple hours editing recruits and uploading the stadium sounds before each season.

It's worth it for my experience

EXACTLY

Sadly, EA still doesn't understand the concept of a "upbeat" intro. I picked out about a dozen areas where they could have cranked up some dramatic ESPN music to spike the adrenaline factor to 10. But instead, we get so many dead moments.

I think EA needs to understand that most players don't want to see the boring casual stretching or cheerleader jumping. We want to see a thematically connected intro that makes you badly want to join the action. "Slapping a wall" or watching players grunt in the tunnel isn't going to do that. Or at least not with the appropriate cuts and music selection.

But I will say this. I enjoyed the Sportscenter updates. They copied that 1:1 from the real thing so the presentation pumped you up. Now if only they could make the intro like that.

I had issues when streaming, there would be a second or two delay before the audio clip would start, so I found it better just to manually do it.

You are sharing too many files from your shared folder. That's the reason for the delay.

The best way to set it up is to set your sharing location to only be one file. Name it "Current NCAA Stadium Sounds"

Then have a second file containing the rest of your library.

Each time you play a game, simply move the new team's sounds into the Current Stadium Sounds folder and move out the old ones..putting them back into the main library.

Then just boot up the game, go into Stadium Sounds and input the instances for that new team. Since you are only sharing one team's sounds...it takes about 5 min to do this because you don't have to cycle through 50 different team's sounds to find the ones you want.

AND...since you are only sharing one team's sounds at a time, there will be little to no delay at all because of the small amount of files that the CPU has to look through to find the correct one to stream.

I'm telling you..it's quick as hell. I can't play NCAA without Stadium Sounds. It adds way too much.

Even if it sounds robotic the in game updates will add a lot to the game.

Does anyone know if the game has to be downloaded to a Hard Drive for this to work?
