Oh come on, you know that's funny. I love that guy lol Every time I pause "I.. do not... believe this!!!" hahah

My favorite is my team getting called for holding in the opposing end zone and the booth will go on and on about the safety that just incurred.

Just dump those guys completely because they clearly have no dedication.

Funny thing is Corso lives about 3 minutes from the EA studios.
Maybe they could get his son to do it.
He sounds identical to his dad.
That same over the top animated personality.
Just a thought

I work in radio. I Could do the commentary.

All joking aside (not really a joke cause I would, but EA would never use me.) but I think you maybe on to something. I remember I believe it was one of the triple play baseball games (before they started to completely suck) that had two guys doing the commentary. I'm pretty sure they weren't regular baseball guys, but two hired just for the game. They had fake ads and everything. I think this could work.

I say if you don't want to spend the big bucks then do this. There are several talented people out there that could do a better job than what we're seeing now.

I don't think we should dump the Gameday gang all together though. I like the idea that someone else had of keeping them on to do a pregame show. Could also be a post game show. The gameday crew is at its best outside the stadium.

And EA, I do have my own radio show and would be ready and willing to be your play by play guy. We just need me a couple of color guys or maybe just one.

every single game and usually multiple times a game(and my friends also had this happen) that i used big ben(which was often), i hear collinsworth's..... "every week is the ben roethlisberger show, bla bla bla, he's such a special quarterback". no variety there. im literally talking every game, a lot of times multiple times a game.

i miss the stadium pulse meter. i liked that, i wish they'd bring it back.

You would think they would mention that I scored, but they didn't. Just went straight into a conversation about me throwing into coverage on the previous play. Please EA, I'm begging here. Fix this for NCAA 11 and let Herbstreit, Corso, and Nessler just do the pre-game or something. Like they do in real life.

i loved the pre-game they used to have like IRL, in the game they had corso put on the mascot head/helmet of his pick. and on the old madden ps2 and NCAA ps2 where they'd talk about an impact player and actually show him warming up. i love this stuff, i mean how hard is to bring this back for next gen.

half the time i get a touchback on a punt they say, and two points for the defense.
