I think (I hope) this will be a great fit. If I remember correctly, I once heard Collinsworth talk about how he and his son play Madden often. Hopefully, since he plays the game himself it will transfer over to realistic and dynamic commentary.

It's great that they have real announcers back, but tbh it doesn't matter what team they got, what matters is what lines EA gives them and how well it's programmed. If the're repetitive with stupid lines and always a play behind people will hate them no matter what.

I, for one, like Collinsworth a lot. With this addition, it looks like soon he'll be working for every major network and videogame that has anything to do with football.

cool, they got the commentors back, that's what we asked for.

I like Collingsworth myself; Hammond is okay. Imo it's not necessarily the announcers, but how they're directed. Doesn't matter who it is if their lines are full of cliches, the two don't sound as if they're watching the same game, and it's not programmed in a way to make it sound fresh

I couldn't agree more, I think if EA is humble enough to look at SCEA with The Show, and the NFL 2K series, they will draw plenty of inspiration, but since it's Madden they have to take it to the next level or in my opinion it will be a letdown.

I really like this news. I like both these guys. Hammond is a very no-frills kinda guy so I don't have to worry about irritating catch phrases or any of that. It's a different direction and I like that they didn't just go for the monday night crew just for recognition purposes.

And as it has been said, at least all the lines will be new this year...
