Player names

[Danish ram]

Have they fixed the player names getting called by the commentators and especially player names getting called when you have downloaded a draft class?

Re: Player names

Nope. They will say some offensive names but if you still edit first or last name you lose audio still. And the new commentators name data base very limited the old commentators say more names. Which sucks because you can’t pick you commentators in franchise.

It's so crazy how they don't have a working database for names the other big sports games have had this for OVER A DECADE!! UGGH madden smdh

There is a workaround for changing commentators however, you just have to exit your game/start over as soon as it allows you to, restart the game and you have a new crew.

This is really disappointing, one of the biggest immersion killers.
And yes, can’t be that difficult to fix, as other companies have been doing this for years

They fixed it in madden 19/20 than screwed it up again. Knowing EA they do it on purpose for some stupid reason

Also if you play M25 on PC there is already a "commentary fix" mod, called "Presentation ID Commentary Fix Tool"

If the fix is so easily mended, EA really needs to step up and do something asap.

EA don't care since over 10 years. This is normal. PC modders make the game better, Clint just sitting there and do nothing....

Hi, i'm the one who made this tool.

The reason this issue occurs is because for some reason, when you import a draft class, EA has it set to reassign the presentation IDs for all players in that draft class (even if the draft class already had them set to the correct value), and it assigns presentation IDs that already have commentary lines for former players assigned to them.

Re: Player names

So if you edit players names to a name said by commentators they will say it with this fix?

Pardon for calling you a random guy earlier😊 could you please share this info in the answerHQ thread, with luck it will get the attention of the developers

I'm a regular over there and also help with some of the mods. I just missed that WiiMaster updated his Madden 24 version of the fix to work with Madden 25. Files like this are in a different section and aren't classified as "Mods" but are stored on a section known as "tools" so I missed it. thanks though!
