That pretty much what it is. That's why it is prealpha build. So gameplay has gotten better since then.

Why don't they just put the commentators in a miniature box and ship it with my game. Then they can call the play by play live.

Then if I sold my game to someone else, EA could charge that person $10 to access the Gus-in-a-box feature.

Gus and Collinsworth is going to take this game over the top.

Our survey said!

Nice video. Let's hope the final in-game commentary can live up to the hype, and that Collinsworth sounds better working with Johnson than Robinson did.

Usually the staff writes out the commentary. This year, however, they hired writers. They did say they never interfered with what Gus was doing in the booth. They never told him he was too loud or anything like that. Gus also said they gave him a ton of material to go off of. So hopefully its some good stuff.

They're just having some fun with Gus and members of the media who are trying their hand at commentary.

Guess we'll have to wait til E3 to get the REAL in-game commentary. As others have said, let's hope EA doesn't "chop cut rebuild" the audio and make Gus sound like Hammond (or worse).....

If the commentary ends up sounding anything like in this video, what a huge change it would bring.

Thank God EA Tiburon at least listened to one thing...to get rid of Tom Hammond. For what ever the reason, he was terrible.
