Is EA bringing back real announcers?

Wow! I can't imagine how good the gameplay & animations would have to be for me to buy this game with the radio announcer back. Ehh well. At least there's an alternative this year.

And now that I think about, I trust all these previews even less. As big of a deal this was, none of the previews mentioned the radio announcer being back. Suspect.

Why are we complaining about a radio announcer? What do you want, Madden and Michaels? I don't know why... we just complain about them after a handful of games.

This thought process... completely leaves me in awe. Because they have a radio announcer in the game and not Dan and Peter or Madden and Michaels, they must be lying about everything else. All I can say is WOW!!

I like the radio guy, but I do admit that it would be much much better with a two man booth. Plus, I have the feeling that as long as we have the radio announcers, they'll be going for that "radio feel", so we won't get the Espn graphic integration most of us want (stats overlays, etc.).

GET OVER IT
If you think comentary is a must have do not buy the game. And I question anyone who decides not to buy a game because of in game audio.

Like I said a few pages back, then a clown (maybe was the radio announcer) ask me if EA was part of 9/11.

When the real play by play get back into the game that's the first thing that they are going to say: "NEW PLAY BY PLAY" in all the previews and on the back of the case, what a joke!

That is not the point (at least, not my point). My point is that we are three Maddens into "next generation" and we are still waiting for the game to have all of the features that the last gen had. Next gen is all about gaming advancements, yet with Madden we are all waiting to get back to where we were on the XBox in 2005.

Good point!!! Taking a step back. Even the first few Maddens on the old old gen had presentation and announcers. Who listens to the radio during the games anyway?

I'm more disappointed that EA isn't making use of the licenses they acquired in order to make a better game all around.
