authentically replicates the crowd reactions found in stadiums around
the world. The dynamic game engine tracks every move on the pitch to
realize the emotional response of the crowd during the highs and lows
of a match. Every layer of the audio track is affected, with crowds
responding to what occurs on the pitch by cheering or jeering, and
broadcast commentary reflecting the momentum swings that play out in
games.
