    Worst Commentary ina game ever!

    Madden 12 has by far the worst commentary in a game ever! it is killing the game for me. Yesterday I was returning a kick and Gus Johnson said I was going for a pic. Huh? They speak in incomplete sentences. Yesterday he said here comes Mark Sanchez who was and then stopped? huh?

    EA your games are getting worse and worse each year. Please try and copy what SCEA does with the The Show franchise. It is far superior in every way. I only wish they made a football game!

    People are starting to come around to why this needs to be patched ASAP. Commentary is like background music in a movie IMO, it should def. be there, but it shouldn't ruin the experience, and that's what the commentary in this game does.

      I agree the worst ever!!! I watched Gus Johnson on TV the other day and he was really bad in real life also. I don't know why they would use him in the game. I did read somewhere that one of EAs big things for next year was to fix the commentary.

        I think it truly is terrible, but it's really not fault of Gus or Collinsworth. They are splicing together pieces of commentary from different years. The volume changes, they say the wrong names, they make the wrong announcements on challenges. It's really just careless sloppy work. I read a comment that someone said it done intentionally just so they could announce something to fix for next. Well it's bad enough that it seems like a valid comment!

          It's bad. Real bad but not a game breaker as it doesn't affect the gameplay itself just the overall experience. They really need to do what 2k does and get these guys in the booth together at the same time to play off each other in real time. I agree with what was said above about the splicing of lines being the real issue.

              worst is that some lines differ in volume and intensity, like they changed the studio in which the lines were recorded.

                something like this makes me so mad on how some guy has a job to make the commentary correct, and im sure SOMEONE had to hear the "final" copy of the commentary before they released it in the game...

                how does madden devs miss this? and what M13 "new feature" will be correct commentary? its just a mess, its a shame that the game is awesome when i play it on mute...

                i want the person whos responsible for the commentary to come out and explain himself on why its so bad, its sure laziness and he should be out of a job...is just terrible

                  In my game last night they were calling Jon Beason Julio Jones, kinda funny at first, then it kept happening all game. Very annoying.

                    They won't. But they'll be the first to come out next year if the commentary's like FIFA's ( which is rumored to be the tecnology that'll be used), saying "That was my idea!!! Gimme credit for kicking a$$ in this department!!!"

                    Lmao...

                      this really isn't a "commentary" comment, more of a "presentation" issue, but it kind of relates.

                      My issue, that annoys me is the weather. Honestly....43 Degrees in Green Bay on January 1st? That makes absolutely no sense.

                        There is a thing called January thaw.

                        Actually, Wisconsin weathers varies during the winter. I've had it 60 degrees on my birthday on Dec. 1st. Also, I recall exercising at a club a few years in January and noticed the area was experiencing tornado warnings. Sometimes, our Christmas is warmer than Easter.

                        Anything that can happen, will happen.

                            triggers are fairly bad too. I cannot say its laziness, but it is an issue. I'd expect better from a game with at leat a million US dollar budget.

                            The playcall itself is a trigger, so say you run an Iso, and bounce outside, the game will not recognize it because you called an Iso.

                            This also comes down to how the game is designed. Its my opinion, based on observation, that the field has minimal "zones" therby giving us limited positional animations and more on topic commentary.

                            Zones, meaning the game recognizes it as a specific part of the field. The easy ones I have recognized are slivers down the sideline and back of the endzone, and inside the 5 yd line going towards the goalline.

                              Commentary usually isn't a big deal for me, but it really is horrible in '12. You have to go back several years to find something comparable. If this was a new series, the commentary would still be bad. But the fact that this is the flagship series in all of sports video games, and has been around for 20 years is pathetic.
