That band-aid statement could be applied to end complaints about any and every game shortcoming now couldnt it

But as a consumer its not my job to worry about challenges, I just make sure my expectations are realistic. There should be challenges in making millions of dollars.

I was agreeing with you, hence why I said there are challenges with any and everything -- also why I thought it's not really worth debating.

And you're right, it's not your job to worry about that stuff.

Well, since you're in here Chase -- bring back the radio guy -- I loved hearing him while surfing thru my dynasty looking at stats or something.

Three words, no thank you.

Repetitive and nauseating voice.

I really don't think some of these folks have heard the recent podcast, seems like they are still going off the first page link in here.

And we've only heard current clips for what? A couple first downs, a sack and team intro clip? It's impossible to determine whether or not there's not enough or enough emotion in M13 commentary yet.

I never said there wasnt...i was replying to the position that its a double edge sword

Yeah that's what I'm thinking too, I mean I just played a game of Madden 12 to listen to the commentary again and just going by these 4 in game samples, there is no comparison with it and Madden 12. One sounds close to what you hear on Sunday on CBS, the other sounds choppy as can be with TONS of dead air.

I was just asking if that's what Salutations was talking about since he didn't specify.

This. This. This. This. This.

I don't need to hear Teyo Johnson still calling into the Tony Bruno show in 2020 after he's already been out of the league for 10+ years.

I think the person means that it had great potential if they expanded on it. I agree, I thought it was clever and made the game more fun to listen to outside of gaming. No one is denying it had some problems with it, but if it was expanded on, could've been something that added to the franchise immersion.

It did have potential, I can't deny that. The only way I think stuff like that works is if you take specificities out of it though. It could be awesome if you just have like a huge array of different fans calling in based on who's doing well and poor in your season. It would literally have to be a TON though just so it didn't get repetitive.

The same goes for the commentary. They need to shy away from mentioning specific years and events from the past when talking about guys because once you get a few years into a franchise those comments don't ever apply anymore.

also with draft classes being designed instead of random, commentary could be implemented for the studs created for the drafts

Makes me wonder why it's not done that way.

Have an xml or something that listed out all the fans, etc, and give them lines based on the record of the team, some team stats, if there's any players near milestones, any low morale or negative roles, maybe if a guy lost DPP a lot last game, etc.

All this data is in the game, just needs to be tapped into and used

Ive read through the this thread again even when I posted before and as much as the first video sounded poorly, the podcast did sound a little better. But we need to see video with the commentary before we can make positive or negative remarks. will it be perfect the first year, "no" as others have said. However, the thing EA needs to get right in year one is making sure the commentary makes sense. I dont want to hear about a WR and how well he threw the ball or how the safety went for the pick on a kick return.

If you want to complain about the original commentary video that is fine, but it is said to be an earlier build. But we also shouldn't praise the podcast without seeing a video.

That is fine and dandy, and I agree. We have till June 4th to wait for that, in between, I think one could have an opinion between the old mix and the podcast.
