i think that more so in regards to back and forth banter.....but I'm talking about reactions to the plays on the field.

again, if they showed them a drive that was pre-scripted (the plays on the field) by the dev team and let Jim and Phill commentate on that drive...it would come off as more realistic. They wouldn't know when a big play is going to happen and would react genuinely.

sure, they are not in a huge stadium and it is obviously a videogame...but I think the audio people in charge could have a setup that would make it easier for Jim and Phil to feel the situation.

They did pump real crowd noise into their headsets, but I know what you are saying.

it is what it is.....right now my only issues with the game so far (from what we know, or have seen) is

Commentary
Motion Blur being overused (from some of the clips it seems that way)
and their approach to the PS Vita version.

besides that, I'm still getting the game because I enjoyed Madden 12....first Madden I've enjoyed in a long time.

Ok, I see what you mean now. Not scripted lines but scripted plays on the field. I agree with you on that! Not sure why they don't show a real NFL game for them to broadcast to. Would probably be a lot easier and have their emotions into it more.

We have in previous years dude...

Big huge difference DJ.

We didn't have EA's marketing team label "Monumental" change to the way you play Madden and circle a date on the calendar with a reveal of June 4th.

I'm completely satisfied with the commentary after hearing the podcast from today. It is a HUGE improvement over last year.

Is there going to be a place where I can listen to this podcast?
