Not to be nit picky and I know its alpha but that just doesn't look like NFL football.. Lets start from the beginning with the guy downing the kick.. WOW how fast did he go to a knee.. it just looked horrible. The commentary was bland and it just seems unexcited. I don't know man sigh I just don't get it.

I've heard from a couple of the community guys on this and they said they definitely say the player and team names now. The video we saw was probably made sometime in February since we see V-Jax on the Chargers still. I've heard the commentary is great this year and the best by far since Al Michaels and John Madden.

That ain't hard to top, that ish was terrible too.

Not nearly enough emotion. Very aware it's a recording of a commentator trying to emulate the game he's commentating on. Very stale. But they gotta start somewhere.

True, but back in the day, I did like them, just like I liked Summerall as well.

Commentary is boring and too canned, it's still sounds like they recorded on different days....

What is missing is three man commentary and sideline commentary like on Monday Night Football...

And on SUNDAY NFL on ABC!!!

Not sure why they think that putting animated characters in the booth does, when they still sound plain and robotic. There is still too much of a gap in sentences and sometimes just complete silence...it's football, there has never been such silence during pre-game or in game..

It has been reported throughout the thread what they gave OS/Pasta Padre was an old mix. V-Jax is still on the Chargers, etc.....

Hopefully, by E3 it will be straightened out.

Yeah I haven't heard shop or the other guys at community days say commentary was sore spot and Shop is pretty big on commentary. He did say that he heard player and team names while he was playing, but he believes it will be even better once the rosters are finalized, they are still working on this, which does effect the commentary greatly.

Here's one tweet from a guy who's been very critical of Madden in the past and he's not a game changer, was invited to community day as a Madden critic.

Sim ‏ @SimFBallCritic
A lot of complaints about Phil Simms not talking on screen in the webcast, but is that really a big deal?

Scott O'Gallagher ‏ @ScottOGallagher
@SimFBallCritic there shouldn't be. It's the best commentary we've had in Madden football since Madden&Michaels period.sounds great.

I cannot stress enough to people to go and watch the intros from the livestream and then compare them to the one in that video. They are completely different and sound much better.

Intro 1 - Giants at 49ers 18:50
Intro 2 - Packers at Steelers 23:50
