The worst is when he says after halftime that he wishes Reece and David Pollack could switch places with them cause its a blowout. And don't even get me started on the David Pollack lines.. some of them are cringe worthy.
Yeah those suck. However I had NHL 2002 and one time I was winning by like 10 goals and I heard one of the commentators' phones go off. He answered and said, "Hey honey, I don't have to work overtime tonight!" I thought that one was pretty funny.

Back to the original topic, my least favorite is the whole defensive player wanting to play wide receiver bid; especially when they say it about a D-lineman or linebacker.

What I hate the most is when I find a receiver over the middle on a slant or cross route who has plenty of seperation from the DB and after I complete the pass Herby decides to lecture me on my decision to throw to a covered receiver.

Along the same lines, I just got Herbie's "If you keep gaining negative yards..." Wait, what? He couldn't just say "losing yards"? SMH.

Re: Worst/Dumbest Commentary Lines

Overall, the commentary feels the same since 2002, even though it probably isn't. It's just always been there, so I don't get too annoyed by it, nor does it really enhance the experience. (By contrast, NBA 2k's live commentary actually responding to the action is great).

But the absolute WORST one is a Herbstreit line in there where he says something like "Maybe they should consider turning down the difficulty level a little", or something to that effect. The game tries so hard to be an immersive television experience, then they throw this stupid one-liner talking to you as a gamer? Arrrghhh!

"You cant get sacked like that as a QB! You just can't!"
Please explain WHY I can't.

That reminds me of a line I heard many years ago, I think it's when at the end of the half I kicked a FG on 3rd down. It went something like, "You need to put down the controller and read a copy of Football 101."

I think "Penalties can ruin a team's chances to win if they commit too many!" has been in since I started playing NCAA 2005! And well...DUUUH!!

I don't think Nessler does it; it is the pre game show guy. Only way you hear it is if you don't skip the pre game
