Here's the Podcast

Don't know about you guys but I can't stand Jim Nantz. I love Gus Johnson, but I will admit, the producers didn't give him enough of what he could do...if that makes sense.

Why not go with Kevin Harlan and somebody else? Kevin does a great job on NBA 2k12 and he would be great on Madden. Plus why can't we have a CBS or FOX presentation? Does anyone remember NCAA Basketball 10 and their presentation? I think Madden could pull something off like that for 14.

Kevin Harlan doesn't do nfl games on tv that's why, not to mention he probably wouldn't have enough time since he does real NBA and NBA2k already. Nantz and Simms are a real broadcast team and have been working together longer than any other nfl commentary duo.

He announces NFL games with Solomon Wilcots on CBS.

He did a few bills games last year. Madden doesn't have the same commentating technology that 2k has (I bileive). So even if he was in it wouldn't sound the same. If the technology is outdated the commentary will be terrible, no matter what game it is.

I cant hate too much on what they're doing for commentary, but it would be off the hook if it was done like we see it throughout the NFL season on Sunday's.

You know, a different set of announcers for monday night games, sunday games on different networks and have an NFL REDZONE type of thing to recap the weeks games especially for franchise modes!

I really dig the cutscenes of the crowds...i even seen some of the fans with self-shadowing too! Nice ..nice detail..this is what i like to see..attention to detail to these little things..it makes a big difference in the end of it all.

I think the commentary is good after listening to it a few times..and i am sure they are adjusting it and tweaking it even more.. i expect it to be 10x better than last year and to me..it already is. Gus just sounded way off and tooo over the top when madden12 overall just didnt match that flow of Gus, honest i always thought Gus was a terrible choice..not sure why..but these two new guys simms and nantz will get the job done finally.

Madden has a new commentary engine for Madden 13, not outdated, and completely new commentary lines, over 82 hours.
