That kick return looked familiar. I wonder where I've seen it before?

One thing I noticed: The commentators never refer to any of the players by name. They just say "he catches it..." or "he drops back".

3 observations:

1. The announcing is God AWFUL.

2. Absolutely ZERO atmosphere. Arizona took the lead with less than 2 minutes to go and you could have heard a pin drop in that stadium. No immersion factor.

3. The worst of all. Atlanta, down 4, last play of the game, hail Mary? Hell no! 10 yard cross. Pis* poor CPU play calling AI = Game killer

LMAO, you might need to get new speakers for your Computer.

The crowd was pretty loud on mine.

The crowd noise in NCAA is really variable depending on your system. I assume it's the same for Madden.

On my 40 inch wide screen, it sound horrid. Same high pitch all the time, no variance, even when I pump the crowd, it never changes. When I put it on my little 27 inch SD, it sounds exceptional.

Really depends on the sound system, I guess.

My favorite was the Atlanta Olineman pumping his fist in celebration.

There is definitely changes in crowd noise. I think there is atmosphere.

late game ai in madden/ncaa has always been a problem.

Hammond is awful.

It doesn't sound natural during the plays. Its like 'Catches the ball?' , 'first down for the offense?', doesn't have a natural flowing tone.

He sounds much better when he reading a longer script.

I guess none of the sites will be releasing any extended gameplay video this year; only getting Madden Moments and EA hype videos. Commentary-wise Hammonds is as bad as Collinsworth is good.
