By the way..this community here gets a lot of my respect..we are part of the reason for the changes taking place..so look at it as a positive thing rather than a negative thing. If it werent for us..i guarantee you madden would NOT be improving like it is right now..

Matt Bialosuknia is the Audio Director, Chase is the Audio Designer, I'm not sure what each role means, but I do know those are their titles.

Now it's Cam Weber's show and foundation...until he goes, as well. My point isn't that people come and go--it's a business. That happens in life. But you can have people come and go and still maintain a clear direction and goal. If you want a football analogy, look at the Steelers--coaches and players come and go, but the foundation doesn't shift and the goal is never altered. I feel like the Madden team always has a clear direction...a clear plan for 2-3 years, and then it shifts and we start over.

I would have never used the Steelers as a example. They are so loyal to the their coaches

I would have used the Niners , but I got what your stating with the rest of your post.

They need to stop hiring actual announcers for these gigs. These guys are used to the real thing so asking them to be fired up over a video game is never going to work no matter what you're paying them. I realize the vast majority of people on here want this game to look and sound like a tv broadcast so they want real guys, but it does still feel like an actual broadcast when those guys are half asleep?

I thought the Triple Play Series had Buck Martinez as an announcer?

Anyway, E3 should be a better telling where we are at commentary wise.

just looked it up your right roadman not sure what I was thinking of then or maybe those guys were just better at it for some reason

This was the first time I ever watched that clip. I could be wrong, but did anyone else hear an actual name or team name being called? It was just a lot of pronouns. Disappointed to say the least.

NBA 2k has been doing it extremely well for years and years.

I don't get it. It's always something like "the quarterback did a great job here getting the ball to his running back..." Seems like they could easily insert the names of the players involved even if it's a bit awkward.

They keep thinking we need new *flashy* (it's EA, go figure) commentary teams but they always miss the fundamental aspects of having a good system.
