Game atmosphere.

[Xtra]

I remember in a last gen Madden, in the only time I actually finished a season, that they had empty seats in the Cardinals stadium (when they weren't doing so hot). Of course, I could be wrong.

This has always been one of my biggest complaints about madden. Once you've played one game, the rest just feel stale. There are no dynamics involved. The crowds are my favorite part of sports. Imagine watching a game in a completely empty stadium. It would just be strange...But that's sort of how Madden feels.

I REALLY hope that they at least fixed the attendance during rain/snow games.

Playing the NFC Championship in a half filled Lambeau Field because it is snowing is just insane. I really question these guys a lot of the time. Common sense seems to be becoming less common.

What about custom stadium sounds? Every other major sports game has this. What is Madden waiting for?

This has alway been one of the weakness of EA game in General, NCAA last gen being a lone exception.

Well said.

This has actually kept me from buying Madden in some years. I remember the crowd being WAY better in the Madden PC version even compared to Madden 12 on the 360.

In playing Madden 12, there were definitely times that I could not hear or tell the difference between a preseason TD and a game winning TD in a playoff game which is utterly ridiculous.

I am really hoping that EA has fixed the atmosphere this year for Madden 13.

I also think adding in team specific chants and stadium music would be good. It cannot be that hard to email each team and ask for a list of songs they use. You don't even need to get all of them, just some. Also, as a Chiefs fan I definitely want the Chiefs War Cry chant, and although it wouldn't make it in the "We're gonna beat the hell out of you" is absolutely classic...

If I am on offense, I want to FEEL that! The crowd should be going insane... my play art shaking, my controller rumbling, I should see the emotional effect it's having on my rookies... ect... Anyone notice this stuff missing from past Maddens? Any word if they added it for 13?

I always loved that about the NCAA games. I loved knowing the pressure of the play art shaking, the crowd noise and everything. I felt like it truly represented home field advantage. I wondered why it never made it's way over to Madden but I guess with the way the crowd was, it wouldn't have mattered since the crowd sounded the same regardless.

Where could we ask about this? I've posted it here and on EA's forums looking for an official response. I sent a twitter message to them as well. It doesn't seem that hard to do, and could even be added in a patch if it's not in the game now. If we bitch about it enough, maybe we can get it added.

Wishlist thread and hope it gets improved the way of some suggestions in this thread for Madden 14.
