Madden NFL 11 Video: Gus Johnson and Jon Robinson - 5 Minutes of Gameplay

[Cryolemon]

I personally think the Madden team would do well to look at MLB 2k10's commentary, which is fantastic. Gus Johnson should be a definite improvement though.

Quoted from the other thread from PacMan83

"How are you making sense? Anyone spending $60 a product only have themselves to blame for not reading the info on it.....Where do these people/ideas come from??? Seriously, of all the conspiracy theories...A lot of times, we create our own smoke screens man."

Yes, we all know that the general public are OUTSTANDING when it comes to doing their own reaserch. No one has ever bought a product based on misinformation before lol. Hell, i'm a poster on OS and I barely caught it do to the fact that I have been busy today. I found it strange that Collinsworth wasn't there and saw an extra link to Kotaku where I actually read the story and rewatched the video. I am not a Madden basher, hell I am even excited for gameflow as I am a "shorter game" person. I love what they are doing with '11, but this seemed like they were trying to slide one by and with the recent 10$ online code, I am sorry if even I am starting to get a bit jaded.

Think about it: why on earth would EA want anyone to believe that those non-professional, horrible commentators would be replacing Collinsworth this year? They wouldn't. They weren't trying to slide anything by, let it go.

As someone else mentioned...gameplay looked incredibly stale, identical to '10. And I'm not even sure why they released that commentary...it was great, but I could do a voice over watching a madden game and it wouldn't sound half bad.

Good point, I thought of that, but even if it was unintentional, they misrepresented their product at best... and downright lied at worst. Yeah the other guy sounded bad, but hearing Gus live over the game was amazing. I just believe that he will sound no where near that performance in game. It's really not worth it though, consider it dropped.

Gus Johnson is GREAT and I'm pleased with the addition.

However, thank God it's Gus Johnson and not Jon Robinson. Seriously, that Jon Robinson guy has no future if he's headed into that direction. Absolutely horrible, IMO. Not just what he says but his knowledge. He's pounding the decision to run the football on 3rd & 1 when you have Frank Gore in the backfield?

sounds great! Jon Robinson was just doggin dudes awesome. Rippin on Jamarcus...Classic

Sounded great on Gus Johnson's part, that other guy was complete trash though.
