Possible replacements for Tom Hammond

[RayAllen20]

This way we can tell EA who we want to replace him. Madden 10 is great but he individually brings it down.

Background info:

Gus Johnson- Crazy announcer. Famous for basketball but does CBS football too. Can make anything and I mean anything seem exciting. Even Field Hockey. Look him up on youtube.

Al Michaels- NBC play by play guy with Collinsworth. Would be pretty cool to have the official Sunday Night Football booth. Was in previous Maddens before Hammond and is famous for one of the greatest calls ever with the Miracle on Ice.

Joe Buck- Fox play by play guy with Troy Aikman. Does baseball too. His dad was a very famous play by play guy and Buck is a pretty good announcer.

Mike Tirico- ESPN Monday night football play by play guy. Does a lot of ESPN work and is pretty good. Doesnt talk too much but states the obvious and brings some excitement to the game.

If you choose other please post who you want in the thread.

Ian Eagle- Very good announcer

Tom Jackson- He is due to get in a game

Cris Berman- Why Not

Tirico would be the guy for me. I find his commentary very engaging. He brings a lot of emotion, especially on big plays (duh), and that sort of emotion (and fairly booming voice) would traslate well to Madden IMO.

Michaels would be my second choice.

Al Michaels, and its not even close. Fantastic play by play announcer and it is realistic as him and Collinsworth are now officially paired together.

Al Michaels, I'll pass on Gus Johnson, gets overly excited at moments that don't require it. He would get excited about a punt.

I couldn't have said it better myself.

Re: Possible replacements for Tom Hammond

I selected the "Other" option because I didn't see my all time favorite play-by-play announcer.

I agree. Al Michaels--not even close. I'd be cool with Tirico. Joe buck sounds too much like Collinsworth.

Basically anyone would be better than Hammond.

Al Michaels, Bob Costas and Dennis Miller for his obscure references.

Does it really matter who they get next. Someone's not going to like who they get and then another thread like this will come up. I think he does the best job ever by a color commentator for a football game.

I wise man once told me "You will never please everyone."

Re: Possible replacements for Tom Hammond

now i gotta question for any of you guys...does anyone know why al michaels stopped announcing for madden. Announcing was generally solid with him and madden. Michaels was much better than Hammond and Madden wasnt great but supplied comic relief. The occasional 'Tell your line to protect here. Tell your line to protect every play not just here.' He could crack me up sometimes. I understand that Madden retired and Collinsworth is a good replacement. But why did Michaels stop? Heck Id use his voiceover from Madden 05 rather than Hammond.
