    No John Madden in Madden 09? EA Promises New Game Announcers

    Hmmm... If not Madden, who will it be? SportsWrap has a few in mind, who would you like to hear in Madden 09?

    "Speculation is sure to run rampant over who these “biggest names in the business” are who will be lending their voices to the Madden franchise. Awful Announcing has already thrown out several predictable possibilities: Aikman and Buck. Simms and Nantz. Kornheiser, Tirico and Jaworski."

    My guess is we will see the Monday Night Football crew.

    I think Buck and Aikman would be good for the game, though.

        EA isn't getting ANY credit for this from me unless the commentary is out of this world. I would've like Madden and Michaels the best, but obviously he isn't going to give the game his full attention.

          People will still complain 1 week later on how it is repetitive.

            Totally disagree with him about turning the announcers off. So what they repeat phrases. These aren't real people, they're recorded so its only so much they're gonna say. But the commentary adds to the realism. I for one am thrilled that its back. EVERY other sports game has it

              Dick Enberg and Merlin Olsen.

              Or, Thiesmann and Mike Patrick.

              Anyone but Tony Kornheiser......

                I really think it will be the MNF crew. ESPN has to start demanding something from their EA deal at some point.

                  Of course, I hope Madden 09 is the first sports game in history to utilize multiple broadcast teams.
                  What?

                    I just hope Phil Simms isn't one of them. I can't stand his constant references he always makes to his playing career.

                      He actually wasn't that bad in the Gameday series.

                        I'm guessing MNF crew. Why would they hire Fox guys? Maybe the NFL network crew.

                          They had Fox guys before on Madden..

                            how about they make the game not suck and actually FIX the gameplay issues that have been there for YEARS. That should be the first priority.

                            I'll laugh if they have the MNF crew doing the games. It'd fit in with that POS franchise.

                              that's because it was madden's game. Now they have an exclusive agreement with ESPN and the NFL. They have no reason to go out and spend more money for FOX broadcasters when they have all the ESPN and NF Network guys under license.
