While I know that Corso had a stroke, and am sympathetic to that situation, there was nothing wrong (audibly, anyway) with his commentary lines already in-game.

I can somewhat understand them taking Corso's lines out in order to represent the fact that he may have a limited role for the 2011 season, but the fact that Brad, Kirk, and Corso rarely did game commentary together seems to go against the rationale that EA would take Corso out just to accurately represent a more realistic broadcast experience.

Do I think we'll have a new broadcast team? No, I think it's very, very unlikely. Like I said, it was just a thought. I'm just hoping that whatever the "big news" is, it's not something that we already know about. (Online dynasty improvements, an opportunity for madden-style online co-op, etc...)

Coaching carousel would be absolutely great by me. Logically, you would think that that would mean that they also signed on to get the names of the big-time college coaches a la NCAA Basketball or old school College Hoops. THAT would be great, and I'd actually prefer that to another broadcasting team.

I guess we'll just have to wait until tomorrow to find out....hopefully.
