Players Last Names?

I was playing my offline franchise last night, and I realized that certain players last names aren't being said by the commentators. The most noticeable example was when I was playing the Broncos. The commentators kept referring to Tim Tebow as "Number Fifteen". I'm pretty sure that Tebow's name was in the game last year. Other notable players that realized weren't being said were Dexter McCluster and J.J. Watt. Has anyone else experienced this?

I searched all over the internet and came across some people who have suggested uninstalling the game data and reinstalling it. Other suggestions mentioned something about "clearing the cache" (but I think that was an Xbox specific thing, I'm on PS3). The final suggestion was playing the game without it installed on the HD. Can anyone comment on this issue?

Re: Players Last Names?

It seems to be hit and miss for me...

I was choked when they didn't say LeGarrette Blount, or Tebow...

However, after playing several games with both, the occasional time, they will say the name... which makes me wonder why they don't just say it all the time.

Stupid oversight by EA.

But he never misses a chance to say STUCKEY.

But yeah, it comes and goes. It's weird.

Also, STUCKEY!

I also wish they said created team names. Have a names database like The Show where you pick one and the commentators will say it.

EA's broken it on purpose I'd bet. I've thrown picks with Tebow and they say his name when he makes a tackle, yet they don't say it when he drops back.

I've played the game off the disc for a while once I got it, installed it and it still does the same. Commentary's broke, no way to get around it unless EA admits and fixes it.

Re: Players Last Names?

There's a number of Bronco players not being named correctly or at all. I think it's punishment for last year's performance

Honestly, with how bad the commentary is, I always turn on some music and just play the game. Then I can also watch my little 16 month daughter do funny dances

I think an issue with the commentating is that Gus Johnson is so animated that the change in his tone is so noticable. Whereas, the person he replaced, was very monotone and, in my opinion, wasn't as noticable.

Despite some problems, I still love this game. Go Broncos.

Classic EA.

Next year's new feature will be "New and Improved Commentary."

Personally I hate when they call players by number, so I turned commentary off.

Re: Players Last Names?

I'm going to try NOT editing a player and see what that does. The players in my franchise on my team that have name issues, I have edited their numbers, equipment, etc.
