I have to disagree. Guys such as John Madden, Howard Cosell, and Al Michaels are well-known and famous for a reason. Commentary and play-by-play is an integral part of football. Sure, you could turn it off, but then you are left with crowd noise and whistles. To me, the gameplay in NCAA is similar enough to Madden that I don't feel like I am missing out on anything. As for equipment and skin color, I could care less. Heck, I don't even care that the commentary repeats itself. What bothers me is the horrible editing between the phrases and the team names, player names, and player numbers.
