Since you mentioned that, here's a tweet I got from another game changer today.

Josh Davis ‏ @jpdavis1982
@markusfrieske @Steve_OS Cool glad to hear that, how did the crowd sound to you?

30m Markus Frieske ‏ @markusfrieske
@jpdavis1982 @Steve_OS I absolutely loved my screen shaking and the crowd going bonkers after a home score.

I really wish they would bring back the camera shake at the line a la NCAA 2005. It was awesome playing on the road and the controller would start to rumble. Then you look at your play play pre-snap and all your receivers routes are shaking violently. The best part was when you made a big play right after that and the controller vibration would tone down and the routes would become less shaky. It was awesome.

Preaching to the choir. Home field advantage -- or the lack thereof -- has been a missed opportunity for the Madden team IMO.

I've read from the Madden team over the years that they feel there is no home-field advantage, but rather just some intangibles from playing on the road (fatigue, change of routine, etc). So they've hesitated in bringing HFA to the NFL game. So I've stopped asking for it.

Even though some may think it's cheesy, I thought HFA was well done in the NCAA games this generation.

Good grief. Have they ever heard of Arrowhead? What about Seattle? Of course there is home field advantage. Crowd noise is always an issue. Just look at the 11 false starts the Giants had against the Seahawks in 2007. Unbelievable.

Agreed, home field advantage is huge in the NFL and any sport for that matter.

I believe I read that in one of those articles where the dev team was kicking it with John Madden. But it could've very well been somewhere else.

I'd just like to have that feeling in my franchise when I say, "Oh gosh, I gotta go play in Pittsburgh in week 13, ugh!" The enhanced crowd audio will help in M13, but I'd like something additional to create the hostile road environment such as the inability to hot route & call audibles as featured in NCAA.
