However, if E3 is underwhelming, those same people, including me, will think August will be more of the same. lol That's the just the way things are, it is what is.

The problem I have is that all of these vids are always underwhelming. When PG posted that video of NBA 2k, I was completely "wow'ed". I don't remember the last time that happened with a Madden game. Maybe back in 1993? I want them to show me something that is so realistic, and so awesome that I am about to fall back in my chair. That's literally what seeing that NBA 2k video did to me. I had the very first NBA 2k game and the last one I bought/played was 2k8. It's unbelievable to me how much better that game has gotten. If you look quickly, you can't tell the difference between it and a real game. The sound included! That's what I am clamoring for out of Madden. To say that it is remotely close is just plain silly. Madden is comparable to 10 yard fight in relation to that.

There's 82 hours of commentary, you've heard like what 8 minutes tops? That's 1/100th

Hopefully that will happen June 4th, sounds like it may. I'm waiting for that "moment" with Madden too.

I'm waiting for more longer gameplay videos to pass judgement on the commentary but I'm not hearing anything close to the quality heard in other sports games. Are we are hearing a rough version of the finished product?

My fingers are crossed.

I hear you Taz but NBA2k12 is a finished product and quite frankly further ahead in presentation to Madden, so it's best to wait until it's all put together for M13, imo. I don't expect the finished product to equal NBA2k12's presentation but there could still be a "Wow" element in regards to what we have had in football gaming the past 7 years.

I have stated all along, if what they add this year to commentary is rough around the edges, I am cool with that, as long as it is good enough to add immersion. With all this perceived secrecy surrounding June 4th, I am withholding too much judgement until E3.

The funny thing about audio is just about anything is better than last year and M12 audio wasn't high on my least of reasons I stopped playing it. lol.

Hope to hear and see the magic on the 4th June. I have a feeling they are holding something back this year...

The audio director for Madden 13 tweeted me about this today, it's a version that's way out of date

@jpdavis1982 Not sure when that OS/Pasta Padre mix was captured but it's way out of date. Stay tuned for updates.
