I hate how I hate Gus Johnson..
I love when Gus Johnson is calling games Live but this is just absolutely brutal at times in the game and I'm almost embarrassed for the guy. Anyone else feeling this way?

Re: I hate how I hate Gus Johnson..
I've never heard him in real life (that I can remember) but the commentary in the game is bad. Like real bad. Part of that is Gus Johnson, the other part is that it's poorly scripted, put together and implemented by EA. It sounds completely unnatural and out of place at times.
I feel embarrassed for him as well to be honest. |

He's not the right fit for video games. The best example I can think of is, it's like watching a movie or video game trailer with a song that doesn't quite mesh with the video being shown.. That's how Gus Johnson sounds calling games in Madden.

He's better than last year's guy. Still, though, he's too excited. He says things like, "JOHNSON! .... back to recieve the kick. JOHNSON! ... returned the ball to IT LOOKS LIKE! the 21 yard line."
EA needs to grab Mike Patrick. He used to do ESPN Sunday Night Football several years ago, and he and Randy Cross did the commentary for QBC '99, which was light years ahead of Madden in the commentary department. He's got a great voice and passion for calling games that doesn't come across as corny. |

I still stand by what i have been saying since 06...LOSE the REAL broadcasters and get 4-6 no-names to what they do and i bet it blends 100% better. BUt its kind of a worthless issue for me in the grand scheme as i mute commentary anyway :grin:. I like jacking the crowd and PA announcer (is there even one in madden this year) and lowering field volume to like 20...Makes me feel like i am there and helps with the sound of the crowd. |

I'm sure that in the full game, the commentary will reveal it's true condition. Then we will see whether it is any good or not. I like Collinsworth, think Johnson is a lot better than Hammond, and the commentary in the demo has a lot of potential.
However, regardless, they have the ESPN license, they could have got Tirico or whoever is calling MNF this year. Then they could use the ESPN graphics and at least improve the presentation. |
