Worst Commentary in Sports Games (This Gen)

[DC]

NBA 2K's

a.) WWE SmackDown! has to be worse than any other game, ever, as far as commentary. They never talk about the action in the ring, except when a Superstar engages a taunt or knocks down the ref, in which case they drop whatever they are saying to say something about it. Every taunt, every time.

b.) NBA 2K8 isn't NEARLY as bad as NBA 08. NBA 2K8 does a half-way decent job of relating action on the court. They do, however, engage the wrong cues very often (i.e. "They're looking for their first lead of the game" when they've led the whole first half), but NBA 08 doesn't even have enough phrases to make the errors on the "specific" calls. Everything is vague and short.

I dislike commentary as a whole in all sports video games. I turn it off pretty quickly because regardless of whether it's dead on or not it just gets repetitive after a few plays through.

I actually enjoyed the Madden '06 announcer. It was exactly what I was looking for, just a guy to simply acknowledge the play on hand.

Great game, but just be thankful it is in Engrish. MLB 08: The Show and NFL 2K5 are the masters of audio and presentation.

Same, I like hearing the crowd noise.

FIFA is the only game I keep it on.

NBA 2k8 - repetitive and as stale as week old popcorn
NBA Live 08 - when a team is slipping, Kerr suggest they call a timeout, and when they call a timeout, Kerr suggest that the coach should let the players play through adversity to boost the confidence? WTF?
