I'm trying not to sound too negative, because I do believe they deserve until at least gameplay videos release before we really come down on them for anything. I have to say though up until now I have been a little disappointed. Like you I was expecting a lot this year. New team, director, and the hush hush on everything got me curious on what might be going on behind closed doors. As news, clips, photo's, etc have been released I find myself seeing a lot of the same old same old Madden. While I do believe this will be the best madden yet, I think Madden has many years to go to be where it needs to be now.

Even with that aside, June 4th is still huge for me because we will get Franchise Mode news.Comment

Nantz sounds like ****. It's the same pieced together crap we've had for the last 10 years. Sounds no different to me, just a different guy reading it.

There was reportedly 82 hours or 9000 lines of commentary recorded for madden 13. These figures though remember are starting from a blank slate, so they are new lines but not lines that have been extended upon. Next year we should have all of these lines plus hopefully at least 9000 or more new lines, therefore doubling the scope of the commentary. One thing that concerns me with the commentary this year after listening to the blogtalkradio latest show (no.50) one of the guys said you have all these lines but will they all be triggered, which has me wondering if there will be a lot of repeated lines due to the commentary engine not triggering the whole range of recorded dialogue.Comment

I haven't seen many on here who would agree. Most people have said they thought it was better in the newer clips from the podcast. Jim Nantz is not Gus Johnson, he doesn't get as excited as him, heck no other announcer does that I know of. The newer clips sound more balanced and more like Nantz does in real life, they don't have a clip of him calling a touchdown in the new clips from the podcast either. He does show emotion in the first clip on the 1st down call.
46:58 Antonio Brown 1st Down (just an example of Nantz' balanced approach)

9:27 of that same clip listen to how Jim Nantz announces the first TD of the game, he has excitement and emotion in his voice tones. Go back and listen to the video of the game play and that is gone its just monotone all the way through.

Along with my whole podcast(newer build) vs video (older build) theory, I've talked to people that played the game at CD for 70+ hours and they said the commentary is great and the best we have had since Michaels and Madden, but probably the best we've ever had in a Madden game. So yeah, I'm not really worried about a few clips of a video from an older build, when people who have actually played the game have let me know otherwise.Last edited by jpdavis82; 05-25-2012, 09:29 AM.Comment

I have to say, my initial reaction was "Nantz doesn't seem into it" when touchdowns were scored. I really just want some enthusiasm when a touchdown is scored, not a forced effort.
I swear, NFL commentators should take lessons from NHL commentators. And by the way, Nantz and Simms are one of my favorite teams.Last edited by Broncos86; 05-25-2012, 09:31 AM.Comment

Gus has spunk, no doubt. He just didn't translate well to Madden. Listening to guys like Mike Emrick, John Kelly, Mike Haynes, and more, all these guys pump real energy and excitement into hockey. Then you listen to someone like Jack Edwards (Bruins play by play guy) and you can hear just how bad someone can be at play by play.
Maybe it's just the pace of the NFL vs. the NHL.Last edited by Broncos86; 05-25-2012, 09:37 AM.Comment

They said in the podcast that the commentary technology will be able to tell when a line was used last and it will put other lines in there so it doesn't get too repetitive. I like the direction the audio team is headed and have been impressed with Matt and our very own OS guy Chase's vision for the audio presentation for now and in the future...You win some, you lose some

I haven't read through every page in this thread, so forgive me if I'm repeating someone.
I think the sounds are an upgrade, but Madded 12 had the worst commentary in the business imo so it had nowhere to go but up. Bottom line is I don't think it's close to being in the same league as NBA12, the Show or even NHL 11 by the sounds of this....
I liked the qb cadences, but that's about it. Everything else is still not up to par with other sports games. The crowd in particular sounded non-existant. Disappointing since I really expected EA to bring it in this department this year. It won't be a game killer for me, but isn't changing my opinion that this game will be a no buy or even rent for me either.Comment
