End of game commentary - driving me nuts!

[tjm80]

At least 7 out of 10 games, regardless of who's playing (with the exception of the FCS schools) Kirk Herbstreit comments on how "even" the teams were, and either team could have been picked to win and nobody would have blinked an eye.

I just started a second dynasty as WKU, and their first game of the season is at Nebraska, who is ranked #9. I throw a TD pass with 8 seconds left to take the lead. I ended up winning 17-13. But the dang game won't even acknowledge an upset. I've yet to see them comment on an upset win. Driving me nuts!!!

Playing on default AA btw.

Just turn off the commentary, which is utterly useless. I did that after a few games, and turned up the stadium and field sounds. It's been great. Herbstreit and Nessler bring nothing to the table. Same old, tired commentary. Makes one yearn for Tom Hammond.

Hmm, in my Dynasty I switched from Tech to Army so now I'm D- and if I beat a B-C team they always talk about the upset.

Personally I think Kirk should be removed all together (or at least updated greatly), his commentary so annoying.

Same here. Only thing I miss is Erin Andrews' sideline reports...I noticed my star WR wasn't lining up so I checked injury update and he was out 4 weeks

But somehow he's still the leading candidate for the Heisman.

I play as Michigan and I swear I don't think I've heard Kirk say anything other than how even the teams were. Forget "7 out of 10 games," I mean I'm fairly certain I've never heard him give another line in that spot.

Also agree with Spanky: turned off commentary my last two games and it was a positive experience; didn't miss commentary at all.

Yeah, I think I was Michigan, playing Bowling Green, Northwestern, an FCS team, and Herbstreit says that on paper these two teams were even, blah, blah, blah. I figured he just said that after every game.

I finally have heard him say stuff about how it went about the way they thought, or something to that effect.

Obviously commentary could have been done a lot better, but this game is still great.

Only thing I dislike is the forced watching of the player of the game play so they can shamelessly push an Advertisement in a game I paid $$$ for. Though it's no where near as abrasive or pervasive as Madden's advertising from M10. (worst in game Ads 'ever' in a video game). Just let us hit A and go through it. If it's a great play we'll watch it, you'll get your Ad view, and then it's a win for every one.

I always thought it was kind of... weird... when Brad Nessler claims during the Player of the Game that EA Sports will donate $10,000 to the school's general scholarship fund...
