Madden NFL 11 With Gus Johnson?

Re: Madden NFL 11 With Gus Johnson?

The possibility of this is just great, but let's get our expectations in order. He was good in the NCAA Basketball game but there wasn't a lot of dynamic commentary and it became repetitive quickly. Worst of all it sounded like he was reading a script and not calling a game.

Getting GJ in the game is just a start. It needs to be implemented properly with A LOT of dynamic commentary like NBA 2k10 The Show, and MLB 2K10. I wish they would just skip the script and record him calling games and go from there.

I'm hopeful that it'll be better, because I think the CBS presentation was something that was added late in development for NCAA Basketball. At least that's why I figured the ESPN team had more lines.

I'm feeling some Gus!!!

I like Gus Johnson doing college basketball better than NFL. But yes, it would be an upgrade over Tom Hammond if its true.

Call me a kill-joy if you want, but it doesn't matter who does the voice work - if they don't do a ton of recording it will get annoying after a month.

Now, I am all for Gus being in the game because of the enthusiasm that he brings, but enthusiasm will be no less annoying if they don't do tons more recording than they did anyone else.

Another thing I hope they do with the announcing is introduce a little "lag" for lack of a better word. I hate when you hear "he breaks a tackle and he's got room" and yet the guy just got tackled. I think it would be better to have the announcer a split second behind the action and have the game properly key the lines to what happens on the field. Just seems like a lot of times the announcing is off and perhaps a little tiny lag could help accuracy of what is really happening? Does anyone get what I mean there?

I feel ya, a lot of times I turn the sound off cause it never corresponds to whats actually happening.

I can only hope they've got someone better to do the commentary. I think madden definitely needs a new voice in this game. Collinsworth just isn't making it happen.

The part were someone is in a suit maybe this is what happens when your player gets hurt. We dont really know but it looks good to me.

Re: Madden NFL 11 With Gus Johnson?

God I can only imagine the amount of commentary that Gus is gunna adlib. Give him the situation, team down by a td with a minute left. They throw a bomb and tie up the game I can only imagine the screams of excitement that I will be hearing. DONT MESS THIS UP EA. If anything just put in the soundboard for Gus Johnson and make the commentary as such. Let Gus be Gus and don't give him any scripted material.

Re: Madden NFL 11 With Gus Johnson?

A) That's Gus. I would bet large sums on it.

B) I see no way they have Gus without the CBS presentation. Maybe wishful thinking, but that's the way I see it.

I am so psyched to hear more.

Yes and he had the best call of the 2009-2010 season.

That pick looked like APF2K8 more than Madden. I hope they can emulate that level of excitement in the broadcasting.

Lol at the other guy saying Leon Hall probably could've picked it off. No chance.

Re: Gus Johnson?
