No I did a quick google of both of them. As I stated earlier I read his Wikipedia page and it hadn't said he had done NFL games. Just was the lead College Football Analyst for Fox. And then did some college stuff for the NFLN with the Combine and Senior Bowl. So I figured that he was a college guy that hadn't called any NFL. But as Price and Marino among others pointed out I was wrong about him not doing NFL games.

Damn the improvements to this game are getting better and better. I have to give EA credit, over the last few years they have been doing a solid job of making this game better and better.

The new commentary team and announcement of updated commentary isn't exactly game changing but it will help keep the game feeling fresh and alive throughout the season. Group it with the other various improvements this year and it's sounds like a game that will definitely be worth a purchase.

This is coming from someone who was initially planning on skipping this year or at least holding off on that game at first but the more I hear about this game the more anticipated it becomes.

No it was old and not updated information as I said before...I admit I jumped the gun and I should have done more research.

Presentation and accessories are low on my priority list behind gameplay/strategy and CFM but, I'm all for these changes.

I usually don't notice presentation or commentary much unless it's bad. If they can really make this good I'm sure it will add to the overall immersion so that's great

I loved the part about supplemental players names being in the game.

I could only imagine a undrafted or late round player commentary being "#85 with the TD"

Then after 10 weekly updates the commentary is "It's hard to believe #85 Antonio Gates was just an undrafted free agent"

These weekly updates have a chance to keep the game fresh.


Now, if only they can transition that into franchise mode also. Sort of a commentary that the starting QB was injured or benched (if the starting QB isn't injured)

Since Charles Davis is now part of the commentary team maybe he can really help improve Madden's NFL Draft coverage. If they were able to get him to make a draft big board/mock draft every year in CFM and maybe even provide some commentary on prospects taken in the draft franchise can improve majorly.

Was that the updated Miami stadium (with the roof/canopy)in the video?
