Some players called by number, not name. Why?

It's kind of a bummer my starting QB in San Francisco is just "number 7".

Madden's commentary is so hilariously broken that it gives the illusion it was intentional. But that's giving EA to much credit.

incompetence + laziness - play testing = Madden 12's commentary

Yeah and get this, Gus actually says his name when Tebow comes out and takes the field for the start of the game, after that its just number fifteen

[SGMRock]

When Stafford comes out they don't say a thing, they just show the overlay thing and no commentary at all. :P

If the on the field game and the offline franchise wasn't better this year I think I would have passed. The presentation is painful. They tried with the camera angles and the pregame as well as the starting lineup overlays and stuff but they failed in so many other ways.

Is this a franchise thing...I gave up on my testing lol. ....I could have swore I ran in a td and gus said that's jake lockers first rushing touchdown of his nfl carer

Is Ryan Mallet's name called in the game?

[MileHighSalute30]

I heard Tebow's name the other day during the game, but the player intros usually say starting QB, and Brandon Lloyd is always the starting WR. I don't get it.

It is a ruse. They screw it up so badly that anything will look like an improvement.
