One of the most glaring issues with the NCAA Football series is the lack of what I like to call "situational commentary." This is commentary that is very specific to certain players or situations. For example:
If I am on the goaline & I fumble the ball into the endzone & my lineman picks it up for a TD, I hear something like:
"Great run by the half back on that one....."
Why don't I hear something like "Oh boy, oh boy the offense caught a break on that one. What a heads up play by the big man on the line!"
If I sack the QB with a big hit, he fumbles the ball, I return it for 6, and the booth reviews the play and determines that his knee was down before the fumble, I hear something like this:
"......"
Exactly, I hear absolutely no commentary made about the impact of a reversed call. Shouldn't the broadcasters be talking about that?
Finally, why don't we have commentary that is specific for a Heisman player (either former or the one in pursuit)? When I'm playing with Sam Bradford, I expect the announcers to give me some commentary that is unique to this one player like:
"You will not see a smarter Quarterback in the pocket that this Heisman award winner. What a great pass to the tight end!"
If I throw an interception, why can't I hear something like:
"That's not a play that this Heisman winning quarterback usually makes. He had no wide receivers open downfield and he simply forced the ball in there."

So, what other examples of "situational commentary" would you like to see added to the game?

???). But some of the commentary transitions don't seem as smooth as they did back on the '03/'04 versions. Sometimes there will be a small change in volume or a slight awkward pause. It seems like things that Nessler recorded a few years ago were patched together with things recorder recently. Just little stuff like that.
