Madden NFL 13 Features New Commentary Team of Jim Nantz and Phil Simms

[jjazwick]

Was looking at Madden website and came across some info on the bottom of the page...

Madden NFL 13 is all new from the ground up, including an online Connected Careers mode where you can build your own personal legacy or relive a legend’s, all while each of your milestones gets broadcast in a socially connected universe. Jim Nantz and Phil Simms call the action from the booth, while you call your own shots using Kinect.

Re: Madden NFL 13 info on Website

not surprised to see the kinect stuff is entirely arbitrarily thrown in. i doubt i want to be sitting in front of my TV for hours on end calling plays

hey, who knows!

nantz and simms, good shout i reckon. just be nice to have someone else for once!

all new from the ground up obviously sounds great, as long as they don't make it worse than before.

connected careers sounds alright. again, pointless social networking integration rules the day again.

Nice find bro. Little tidbit info. Sounds like a new broadcasting team it seems. Career mode online. Might do the online career mode so long as it is agaist the AI and no human. All this sounds nice. But need full details on all this. I wish they would come out with the info already.

I'm pumped to hear Nantz and Simms, they work together in real life, which is how Madden should have been doing it all along.

Wow, that is pretty awesome. It says all new from the ground up???? That opens up a whole host of questions.

Having a new team in the booth doesn't mean nothing if they keep sounding robotic like has been for years. We thought when they brought in Gus Johnson in a few years back it was going to be great for the booth team. But a few years later. Gus is gone along with Chris. But hopefully this will be the year that the robotic going back and forth announcing is gone. Hoping they are using what NCAA team is using for ncaa13. The audio and announcing really needs to improve for it to mean anything in Madden13.

Looks like this was leaked, they changed what it said to this:

Madden NFL 13 is coming in August. Check back soon for more informaiton.

They talked about this when Madden 12 came out, they ripped out the old commentary engine and are replacing it with the same one FIFA has, and I think that means it's the same one NCAA 13 has too.

This is AWESOME! Nantz and Simms are my favorite NFL Broadcast analysts and I think if you include the CBS Presentation, it would truly make the Presentation side way better than it has ever been. It would be nice to hear Simms talk about his Philosphy and keys to winning the game before the start.

Well I must have missed that statement. But if that is true then this good for Madden13 and beyond. Would love to hear a much better announcing on Madden.

Re: New commentators in Madden 13 confirmed

Great catch JP.

i'd suggest it was jjazwick that broke it on here. jp decided to post in the original thread and then start a thread of his own, bizarrely

EDIT- Great "snatch" JP. lol

Re: Madden NFL 13 info on Website

wow so that must mean they scraped all work CC and Gus had done because some the game changers told me they was in the studio working on there new lines awhile back. i still have a feeling it will get old after a few games because they will just keep saying same lines over and over like in previous yrs. least we wont be hearing gus getting excited over a 2 yard run like in 12 lol.
