Re: Some players called by number, not name. Why?

idk man i really think that since installed its less than 5 gigs it does not play some sound files when installed but streaming from the disc they are there.....ive only tried tebow and ingram also locker doesnt work as far as the intro where the qb comes on the field ...not sure about ingame also ive been getting Gus to say Titans and not New York Titans which makes me SOOOOO happy everyone needs to keep this going to see if im right or not .....im sure it will be easier Tuesday since more people will have the disc then...im going to try more when i get off work tomorrow

Wait...on the disc they refer to Tebow as Tebow? Not No.15?

Good good, sounds like a Season Pass issue. The rest will hopefully be tuned in a patch down the line.

EA's commentary is terrible across all their games. Look at the NHL series...same stuff from 09-11 (and probably 12).

I played M10 a lot and the commentary wasn't great. I skipped out on 11 and I'm getting 12.

Even if this is unacceptable, which it is, based on previous EA Sports games (not just Madden) it shouldn't be a shocker.

Should call this the "Secret Agent Man" bug: "They've given you a number, and taken away your name..." Dunno why that popped into my head when reading the thread title.

Yeah, I've heard quite a few numbers yelled out too. Just another part of the "commentary is really, really bad this year" package.

Re: Some players called by number, not name. Why?

I just see it as no commentary in the demo terrible commentary in the early release version launch day with a patch and that could all change

This doesn't make any damn sense at all. Shame on EA.

Can add Vince Young to the list.

Re: Some players called by number, not name. Why?

This is starting to seem like a bug.

The names that were in last year's game (Madden 11) not being spoken in Madden 12 is almost certainly a bug. These names were not removed. It would've required more effort to remove them. Now the nameID tags within the game might be off, not assigned, whatever, but something is obviously amiss.

The one that bothers me the most is hearing that Gus Johnson is calling Tennessee the "New York" Titans. It's like some kind of bug from last year's AFL DLC.

Re: Some players called by number, not name. Why?

I really do think EA has absolutely no unit testing and Q&A at all. But then every self respecting developer knows you should aim to give Q&A no work at all. Of course there will always be bugs, but developers shouldn't accept this as an inevitable outcome, which EA/Tiburon must do because year after year it is just one mind boggling bug after another.

Tiburon devs need to read this book.
