Tom Hammond sucks!!!

[jgofett]

In my best Bill Walton voice... "Tom Hammond is horrible, just awful"

He mispronounces alot of names and is totally robotic, I cant stand him during ND games either.

Collingsworth isn't much better.

Could be worse though, they could have gave me Berman.

Thank you captain obvious.

New announcers for Madden `11 please....

How about a 3-man group?

I wouldnt mind Collinsowrth if it was a group of 3.

Agreed. I have actually always liked Collinsworth, but Hammond is a waste.

While I agree that Hammonds' commentary comes off as extremely robotic, I think part of the problem is how EA is recording and piecing together his statements.

When Collinsworth chimes in, it is obvious that all his statements were recorded as one long train of thought, so they flow very naturally. But he is the color commentary guy. He can get away with this.

Since Hammond is the play-by-play guy, it appears his recordingds are spliced together from several different takes and as a result, there is zero flow to them. Sure, Hammond himself can make some adjustments to improve this, but if EA knows this is how they are going to piece together the play-by-play commentary, whoever the director is for the voice recording sessions should give the proper feedback to Hammond on how he should be saying certain phrases.

Again, yes, I agree, the play-by-play is atrocious, just saying that the blame should probably not all be put on Hammond.

everything from the lost years (2007-2009) need to go in my opinion.

Thats definitely a problem, but as I said, his voice is so lifeless.

Definitely needs a new play by play guy next year.

Collinsworth is fine. Hammond gots to go.

I like Collinsworth. He sounds so incredibly natural and flowing. They need to give him more lines, imo.
