I wouldn't get those hopes up. I wasn't talking about how the guy calls the game. I was talking about the context of the play, the player and the playoff implications. I don't see the commentary being on that level yet in-game at all, considering how far behind its been to this point.

I would love to be proven horribly wrong but nothing shown so far lends to believing otherwise. When there are games 10 years older with arguably better commentary, and current gen games that are lightyears better...surely one could understand my skepticism here.

Nonetheless, we shall see. I do like the direction they are taking with fresh voices and guys who can put in longer hours recording. Commentary has been a sore spot in Madden for well over a decade now and has long since been in need of a facelift.

Not to mention Pat Summerall died 2 years ago.

Any E3 videos with commentary?

[aguero90]

Nothing yet. Just that commentary from the trailer with the blocked kick.

Just had this conversation with a guy who played 8 games so far regarding commentary
