I think the Denver/Cinci game is a little bit over the top and unrealistic for Madden, but I'm glad you put it in your post nonetheless.

The first video is key... Joe Buck does a great job with fueling the emotion and on-the-field action with his voice. I really think the crew should pick up Joe.

Al Michaels is most likely the best bet for getting the play-by-play nod... but let's face it, he was barely above Hammond in terms of video game "emotion". Even in PS2 era Madden he had flat liners like:

"To the end zone.... caught... for the touchdown."

Commentary is the biggie for me this year. Commentary, a more network-like presentation, and realistic AI and fundamentals. Madden football needs to replicate the NFL - and it doesn't yet. The passing, pass rush, and blocking all need to radically improve this year. I think the best way they can do this is by simply redoing every animation and make them look fluid and naturally.

Yea, all those all good examples. My expectations are high this year for presentation and commentary this year just because I've been playing NBA 2k10 which is SPECTACULAR. I won't be pleased with anything less.
