Commentary Needs a Serious Update and Fast

They might have to devote a whole patch to it. Tbh commentary isn't the most important thing and I'm sure it's not at the top of the to-do list.

They should have devoted... idk maybe some of the time they had developing the game to this.

The more I play, the worse the commentary gets.

I have to second this. I won a game on a last second field goal, and they went on and on about how Davis didn't eat from the media buffet during the game.

Same thing happened to me earlier.

Rosen led a beautiful game winning drive in 47 seconds down to the 4 where Phil Dawson kicked a game-winner as time expire and Gaudin just

"and they'll take 3 point lead with that field goal" with the most somber tone possible.

Just so out of place.

The more I play, the worse it is.

-Finally got that "and now his first catch in the super bowl" comment during week 10.

-Got a false start on 1st down. "And that will push them back, with the penalty its now 4th and 15" or something to that effect.

-Got the one where they mentioned that someone other than the QB threw the ball (don't recall the exact words), on a run play.

I've grown to dread the times he says "Ezekiel Elliott, gonna take it the distance!" because inevitably I get caught before the endzone, its like a curse lol

Agreed, I had Davis telling some story all the way through the break between the 3rd and 4th quarter, nothing to do with the game. I get it, they're trying to make it organic, but the thing is, in real life they would cut themselves off when something exciting happens.

Really unbelievable that the commentary is this bad and they still haven’t fixed it. Have they at least publicly acknowledged it anywhere? If it’s a serious issue that will require a while to fix the least they could do is let us know they are working on a fix but it’s going to take a while.

How is the commentary so bad in this game??? I was just playing I the 2nd game of the season of year 2 of my CFM, I complete a pass to my WR and they said something along the lines of "He had a big game last week in the conference finals, now making his first catch of the superbowl." The superbowl?????? Its only week 2 of the season!!!!

In almost every game I play there is some buggy commentary. I've had games where I throw my first interception of the game and they start talking about how it is already my QBs 3rd interception thrown of the game. Commentary is really bad this year, I don't even know how the game released with it this buggy. There's no way that someone from EA didn't notice it, almost every game I have multiple instances where the commentary is waaayyyy off.

I'm done giving EA my money, in the future I will wait until I find a used copy later in the year. Until they give us a more polished game I'm done buying it when it releases. Every year this game is always a step forward in some areas and 1 or 2 steps back in others
