Madden's commentating sucks. He knows his x's and o's but his voice is annoying. Thank goodness he ain't talking anymore.

I know the Madden team has their hands full and I wasn't really expecting much but ideally I would've liked to see a little bit more commemorative stuff.
The NHL throwback is 100% gimmick. I would rather them put their efforts somewhere else, like the Ai or Presentation. If I want nostalgia I'll go buy a Nintendo and play the old school games. Same goes with Madden.

It would've been really cool if they would have done something like an in game interview with him that queued one time during your first ccm season or a throwback commentary mode that used the classic lines like, "boom" and "got his big ole paws on it".

I don't know what Mr. Madden's health is like, perhaps he wasn't up to it. Also this is a lot to ask of a team that can't get wind or Super Bowl celebrations right but it would've been cool and a fitting tribute to the game's namesake. A missed opportunity imo.

edit: I know he's a coach and maybe there is something in the game and I just haven't seen it...
they could have, but they didn't. And they could have used his old lines from like 5 to 10. But they're just lazy.

I disagree, I thought when him and Summerall were doing the games it was nice for my ears. Nothing extensive, but they did the job. Technology wasn't what is now, probably not their fault it was so limited anyway.

I hated him in the game and I hated his commentating in real life. I am glad he isn't doing anymore Monday Night games...
