What will be the rowdiest crowd to deal with in EA Sports College Football 26?
The next installment of the popular college football video game franchise will be released July 10 − with early access on July 7 − and the build-up for the game continues. As part of the game’s ‘Dynasty deep dive’ released on Tuesday, June 24, EA Sports also announced the top 25 toughest stadiums to play in.
The stadiums in the top 25 are more difficult to play in, thanks to the crowds that are known for being louder and more disruptive. It makes the game more challenging in the same way it is for real college athletes.

EA Sports College Football 26 toughest places to play: new features
One notable aspect of being the visiting team at one of the ranked stadiums is the increased audio and difficulty in being able to make play adjustments. To strengthen the feature, EA Sports gave an extra edge to night game and rivalry matchups.
Other impacted functions: the clock could disappear and the kicking meter could be mostly or completely gone. Also hot route accuracy will depend on player skills, with inexperienced athletes having more confusion on play calls.
Now, there is a way to combat the noise with momentum-based crowd silence. The away team can quiet down the crowd with big plays and touchdowns.
