because it's fake, it's concocted. I can't just 'forget' that. But I do get your point, and Mama's... who commented that without the fake crowd the 'silence' would be even more 'odd'.

I do, however, and personally, think there is a better option than fake crowd OR silence noise.. and that would be to mic the game with the best mic's made and enter the game.... every hit, every every collision, every comment (which would be tough, granted). THAT I would like better than fake crowds and better than silence. - JamesJM
