I was actually really surprised they had my last name, even back in 08. I've never met anyone who's had the same last name, or anyone who's known anyone with the same last name. Not only that, but 95% of the time, most people can't even spell it out, or pronounce it right.

The thing is that, it seems like the announcers(actually only Nessler who even says last names) rarely ever even says last names. So it wouldn't be to much of a issue with me, even if they didn't have it. Hell, the PA announcer says last names at least twice as often as Nessler does.

PA announcer says your last name after every play if you are involved in it. Wheather you are running the ball or making the tackle. Sometimes i do spell my name wrong on purpose just to get that satisfaction.

I started using generic last names a while ago. I thought when they had a last name entrys a few years ago I thought I had a chance, But I dont care. I dont ever try to recreate my self. I create fictional characters with a fictional bios.

The same way I feel. It might actually be a better experience since there is only 5 mins so I dont have to hear the same thing over and over

The whole idea of RTG is to emulate the gameday experience of a player. You're on the field, not watching on TV, so I don't get wanting commentary for this mode.

Mainly because there isnt no player chatter or coach chatter. If there was player and coach chatter, then I wouldnt want commentary. But it is so dull without.

If that was what they're going for then they should take out all of the replays and ESPN presentation.

"RTG has always had a couple of great features that stood out from the rest of the game, such as quick 15 minute games"

This frustrates me a bit. I get it... perhaps they're gearing this mode towards people that don't really want to immerse themselves in a dynasty and are just playing arcade style... but it hurts my ability to dive into the mode. When I sit down for a couple hours, and can blow through half a season - I don't really have to work to make my player good.

The new changes in coach trust and position battles could help keep my interest, but realistic stats while playing linebacker would be amazing... Not 2 tackles, 1 sack = 4 star performance.
