While I like the composure factor and crowd noise factor. If I was a coach going in to the Swamp I think I would have some hand signals for audibles. Not being able to audible at all is ridiculous. Hope EA figures out how to correct this for next version

I don't mind not being able to hot route to my WR in roudy places like the Swamp, but what's weak is when I can't even tell my backs to stay in and block. In real life the QB and HB very RARELY have communication problems because they're so close to each other (especially in the shotgun). It's one thing to shout signals across the field to a WR, it's another to communicate something to the backs who are within 10 feet of you.

i agree. i can understand my WR's and maybe even my tight end not hearing the audible, but the backs should be able to hear

I dont really mind any of it. Although it won me a game yesterday. The guy I was playing audibled the run to the other side on the goalline and the back didnt hear. He turned to hand off and the back wasnt there. He went to the original hole where the play was called. I got the sack and he turned the ball over on downs. won by 3.

I may have a different opinion when it goes against me though.

all in all though, i am loving home field advantage, it really does add to the gameplay experience. i don't play college football, but i did play hs. against our rivals my senior year there were 11,000 plus in the stands (small town), but we couldn't hear crap on the field, so i guess i have a better understanding of what it's like to play under those conditions.
