Thanks Steve!

My only problem, with this video is that he's recording lines when Chris isn't there.

I think these guys should be in a booth together at the same time. So when they are talking back and forth. The emotion during lines would see more accurate and authentic. Because they are talking to one another.

Ron needs to step it up and get that done before release....Get them recording simultaneously, instead of different times.

I don't envy anyone having to sit there like that and belt out line after line after line after...

Whatever the case, I hope there is much more variety in what is said yet I am salivating at the speech tech being created by that one company. I forget the name of the company but THAT tech is going to revolutionize sports video game commentary.

Gus is one of my favorites, he may be the main reason I decide to purchase Madden NFL 11, used.

I like the fact that says it's 'Art'. I wish Tiburon would keep that in mind when they develop Madden. Especially when they start spattering it with Overlay Ads, accelerators, consumables, etc.

One other thing. I hate hearing Gus Johnson recording those unique lines, and hearing EA saying they added 9000 of them. Lines should not be unique. Ever. It should all be dynamic. Each and every one of them. In the last line there, what's the relationship between Tony Romo and Matt Hassleback? A lost game, a playoff meeting? Code that commentary such that it can be used for any QB combo that meets the appropriate criteria. It's just flat out the wrong approach.

This was my point exactly. Recording lines and then trying to combine them with Chris's lines. And I didn't too much like how he was trying to read it and build some type of verbal emotion.

They need to sit with one another and talk lines back and forth and just sound like they are two commentators in the booth, that are enjoying a live game.

Not to mention is there any word on the sideline reporters or the half time and season highlight people yet?

The audio guys on Madden prefer to record together when possible. It's generally the schedules of the men involved that make that hard to do. I know they had a dual session scheduled for shortly after CD, so hopefully they got a lot in then.

I know they're gonna wanna showcase their new play-by-play this year, but I hope they added a ton for Collinsworth. It would go a long way to clearing up the repetitiveness of it if both guys got involved. Too many games make you wonder if the color guy took off for a lunch break through most of the game (The Show, for example, has a 3 man booth but you rarely hear anything from Dave Campbell... what's the point of having him?)... and when Collinsworth does speak, it's something you've already heard 50 thousand times.

Collinsworth and Johnson could end up being the best commentary team in the history of sports gaming, but they've gotta have variety, they've gotta talk to each other, and they've gotta share the stage relatively equally to do so.
