Please God never let these be added to FIFA

[Nieb498]

So much time and thread space is devoted to what we as consumers would like to see added to FIFA I thought why not start a new please God never thread. I'll start......

If Gus Johnson ever replaces Martin Tyler as the play by play voice I will never buy another EA title again. I love how FOX Sports has repeatedly jammed his flat out awful way I calling a football game down our throats this season. He doesn't have a clue as to what the hell he is talking about. From inappropriate excitement to mispronouncing team names to not having a clue as to what's going on. I swear if Martin Tyler isn't announcing the CL final I'm muting the damn tv. I'd rather listen to live crows in a blender than Gus Johnson.
The last Madden I played he was the play by play guy. I turned of his mouth after five minutes. I couldn't stand being yelled at for absolutely no good reason. Can you imagine that crap in FIFA? "The ball is KICKED FORWARD! WHAT A PASS!!" Ugh. No thanks.

It's just so fake the way he expresses his excitement. Nothing classy about it - it just feels forced and I really struggled with watching the FA Cup this past weekend listening to the guy. I'm glad FOX Soccer will be no more Premiership matches - thus no Gus.

And if he ever replaces, or anyone really, Martin Tyler - it will be a sad day in the FIFA world.

I like Gus Johnson, but I think it would be ridiculous for an American announcer to do the English play-by-play on FIFA. It would lose some of the authenticity, never mind the fact that, as has been previously mentioned, Johnson is a definite novice when it comes to the sport.

I've always used English commentary but recently I've been using Spanish commentary since I'm using Liga MX and Jesus they say some stupid stuff sometimes. Like I slide with my forward trying to get the ball from the opposing defender in his box and the commentator goes "ohhhhh they need to be careful because that slide could've resulted in a penalty" how? Please explain. Lol either way, these Spanish commentators are waaaay better than the previous commentators Bermudez and some other idiot.

He's horrible. Simple as that.

Good god when Jol's foot luckily saved Tevez's shot that Jol overdove on in the FA final I thought Gus was going to have to excuse himself and change is underwear. Don't get me wrong it was a decent enough lucky save, but man, Gus made it sound like Jol had done the greatest thing ever known to man. It's a little much Gussy Babe.

Gus was awful in Madden. Phony excitement = Fail.

Maybe someday when memory space isn't an issue, they'll have American announcers doing MLS, Aussies doing the Australian league, etc.

I love Martin Tyler, but I don't feel the game does him complete justice.

It captures his conversational tone quite well, but it's moments like when Man City won the title....



That "Agueeerrroooo" gave me chills when I was watching, it was sheer class.


Even simple moments, like his trademark "And it's liveeee...." aren't in



Martin Tyler is truly class on the pipes, but FIFA needs to do him justice
