Don't know about you guys but I can't stand Jim Nantz. I love Gus Johnson, but I will admit, the producers didn't give him enough of what he could do...if that makes sense.

Why not go with Kevin Harlan and somebody else? Kevin does a great job on NBA 2k12 and he would be great on Madden. Plus why can't we have a CBS or FOX presentation? Does anyone remember NCAA Basketball 10 and their presentation? I think Madden could pull something off like that for 14.

Kevin Harlan doesn't do nfl games on tv that's why, not to mention he probably wouldn't have enough time since he does real NBA and NBA2k already. Nantz and Simms are a real broadcast team and have been working together longer than any other nfl commentary duo.

He announces NFL games with Solomon Wilcots on CBS.

He did a few bills games last year. Madden doesn't have the same commentating technology that 2k has (I bileive). So even if he was in it wouldn't sound the same. If the technology is outdated the commentary will be terrible, no matter what game it is.

I cant hate too much on what they're doing for commentary, but it would be off the hook if it was done like we see it throughout the NFL season on Sunday's.

You know, a different set of announcers for monday night games, sunday games on different networks and have an NFL REDZONE type of thing to recap the weeks games especially for franchise modes!

I really dig the cutscenes of the crowds...i even seen some of the fans with self-shadowing too! Nice ..nice detail..this is what i like to see..attention to detail to these little things..it makes a big difference in the end of it all.

I think the commentary is good after listening to it a few times..and i am sure they are adjusting it and tweaking it even more.. i expect it to be 10x better than last year and to me..it already is. Gus just sounded way off and tooo over the top when madden12 overall just didnt match that flow of Gus, honest i always thought Gus was a terrible choice..not sure why..but these two new guys simms and nantz will get the job done finally.

Madden has a new commentary engine for Madden 13, not outdated, and completely new commentary lines, over 82 hours.

Still, non of the examples have been impressive....

The in-game commentary examples in the podcast for a first year were pretty impressive to me. You have your opinion, but I think the majority of the people who have heard the newer samples were at least somewhat impressed and felt like it is solid. It's a HUGE improvement over what we have had and doesn't take away from the game and I find it pretty immersive from what I'm hearing, but to each his own.

People keep talking about Kevin Harlan, but NBA 2k has had him doing the play by play since NBA 2k6, so that's comparing apples to oranges. Year one of Jim Nantz vs year six of Kevin Harlan. A better comparison is Kerr vs Simms and from what we've heard Simms sounds just like he does in real life, so I'd say Madden is right there with 2k when it comes to comparing the color commentators.

You can't be serious. There's a lot of good coming out of M13 as of now, but from what we've heard from commentary is not one of them. It's not like they started commentary this year, it began a little after M12 was released. Now the pregame sounds good but hopefully they're just giving us WIP commentary still. But it doesn't take more time/experience with Phil & Jim to do Madden to get things like them talking about something and then stop & abruptly, yet smoothly, go into awe on a big play or hit.

Can you honestly say that what we've heard, disregarding the OS/Pasta Padre video, isn't much better than what we got last year with Gus Johnson and Cris Collinsworth?

Re: Madden NFL 13 Video - Gameplay With Jim Nantz and Phil Simms In-Game Commentary

People are still commenting on the commentating in the not released EA game play video of an old mix, but OS/Pasta released old mix.

It's been explained several times.

The recent podcast is a newer mix.

Listen to this podcast and look at the comments in this thread and tell me it's the same as the old mix.

I like how the commentators don't even mention the key players for each team, or we don't even see the stats for the players when we see them on the sidelines or practicing. Plus, they should show the fans cheering as the commentators introduce themselves, then show them.
