Madden NFL 13 Video - Gameplay With Jim Nantz and Phil Simms In-Game Commentary

You know it's funny, because said not to get our hopes up another thread (I think it was the gameplay one), now you know why.

Wow. I see now that commentary in Madden is the same as swinging in Tiger Woods - the more EA promise, the less they deliver. Bialosuknia's undoubtedly correct when he says the commentary's out of date....compared to other sports titles, it's about 3 years out of date.

Idk how anybody thought that the comentary on that clip was good, it sounded terrible. When he picked the ball up for a touchdown he wasnt excited at all and the sttiching was pretty bad. i see they didnt change anything other than the uniforms.. no new cleats or gloves and the sleaves look the same and the body types still look like **** :/

If it's in the game, we're looking into it.

Did they put Madden 10 or 11 in the system by mistake? This looks no different. players still gliding on catches. I do not think I will be purchasing this again.

The one thing I do like about the vid are the new catch animations. I don't know the reason why but when I play Madden 12 I see a lot of behind-the-receiver catch animations, even if the ball is placed in front of the receiver. I haven't noticed it once in Madden 13 clips.

I like it. Smooth, fluid, their voices are good, informative, and in-depth. They don't really show all that much emotion, but they show enough, and that's fine. A huge improvement over Madden 12.

Last year people complained that that Gus was over the top in weird spots, Three years ago it was Hammond was too Boring, and now Simms and Nantz go back to being low key. You would think they could find a middle level

I know people have said its an early build, but how do you take what was recorded and add enthusiasm or excitement to it.

Like i said in an earlier post, how do you highlight big plays and none show any emotion.

Now I may be able to live with the dull commentary, if they can do a few things

1. Get the timing down. The touch back was so delayed as was the Touchdown call
2. have it make sense. Last year was not very good to say the least with just inaccurate statements
