It takes a minute to create the dang thing!
lol
Takes a second to get put up.
I don't use it.
Nor do I. I can barely tolerate the 'new' crowd sounds, the ambience is just too much for me.
Yeah me too I disable them also
I love it....makes me feel like I'm at the game!
I dont use it.
I use it...it's tone indicates to me when a vital blow has been struck, i.e. someone has hit safely when it isn't immediately apparent, visually...the crowd's roar seems to vary, subtly, depending on the enormity of the hit, the volume highest, of course when the ball is on its way over the fences.
Tied in with this, is the call of the umpire...usually, this is the first intimation to me of a strike...I'm writing. now, of versions 07 & 08.
Yes, it's cool, but like, it's so **** loud! It overpowers everything else on my computer so I can't listen to music or even hear MSN/AIM alerts when it's on. Very annoying.
I turn it off so I can listen to music on iTunes while I play BBM.
I like the sounds of the game way better than 2008
See I don't multi-task when playing BM. I just play BM!
I started using it when I first bought BBM 2009, but after its inconsistency (cheering at the wrong times, not cheering at other times, etc.), I disabled it. I love the idea of it though.
I have it on, but most of the time I don't have my headphones on anyway. Honestly though it's so unbelievably loud sometimes that I don't need to wear my phones to be able to hear what's going on.
I do when I'm not listening to music.. When I'm listening to music I'll turn it off..
It works fine in BMs 07 & 08...Quote:

How does it differ from the crowd reactions in 07 & 08?...from the comments so far, in this thread, I gather that it is more intrusive...Quote:

This isn't running commentary. This is more "GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" for nine innings, punctuated by an occasional cheer when the play-by-play sound manages to break through.
I'm finally (reluctantly) adjusting to the new sounds for the play-by-play, but I was happier with the 07/08 version.
I leave it on for pretty much the same reason.Quote:

S-M
I think it sounds more like "YAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"Quote:

Ah...I see it now, StreetM...you were referring to the squealing of brakes!Quote:

So that's why I don't hear it (still playing 07 and 08), my ears are tuned to sounds like "Brrrrmmmm"Quote:

I never touched it and just left it on. I don't play that many games in PBP but it doesn't seem to bother me. It might if I played all my games that way I guess.
I was ok with it for awhile, but the sameness of it and that really loud burst of obnoxious noise you get occasionally started to annoy the **** out of me, much like listening to CNN or MSNBC or CBS News. So I shut it off.
I hate it, drives me absolutely nuts.
Having played an awful lot of games in PBP, manager mode in BOTH versions, it is my firm belief that sound took a turn for the worse in this version. I could stand the sound in BM2008 over and over and over. This one, not so much.
agreedQuote:

Oh, yeah, did that some time ago. ;)Quote:
