The forums will crash...Tiburon studios will get burned down if that were to happen...lol

Neither last but maybe one game before they are turned of. So I would have voted neither.

Well, I wouldn't want to be responsible for that...

Seriously, if done right it would be off the hook (as the kids say). Imagine something similar to the NFL Game of the Week series on the NFL Network, with lots of miked-up players for on field and sideline reactions. It would get the player involved in the game in a way that no tv style broadcast could possibly match.

You know whats funny...Back in 2005 when EA said the brought the NFL Network license I was hype thinking they were going to incorparate "Mic'ed up" in Madden 2006 for PS2.

I also thought I was going to hear the "Legendary NFL Films guy voice" in Madden 06 also..lol

They can go with either one, but just make sure enough time is spent in the studio recording. Don't hire real announcers, because A. They cost too much, and B. They won't put enough time in. People can say what they want about 2K5, but the announcing in the game was the best, period. And it was done with a lot of studio time and by two unknowns. So it can be done. Me, I like the radio guy, but he needs a partner to make observations, etc, to make the announcing experience seem more realistic.

I love those shows with the mic'd up players, but for a videogame it would immerse me more having tv style presentation. It'd be ILL 1 day if we could have a highlight type thing during our franchise with that NFL films type presentation.

Play by play. That just makes NCAA that much better IMO. But we will see.

Play by play. The game on 360 looks nice but no commentary that's worth listening to. I like the 2 man team. 3 people in a booth does not work anymore with football. (example, FOX and ESPN) Thank God those days are over.
