Re: Gus Johnson Gives OS a Shout-Out

Love watching a game Gus Johnson is doing. I just wish there was an option to turn Collinsworth off and have play by play only.

Re: Gus Johnson Gives OS a Shout-Out

In your opinion, was the commentary you heard at the show, better than the deadspace commentary we are hearing in these videos?

In my opinion yes on the commentary. I just hope they fix the bugs. Played the game again and there was a lot of stuff that didn't make sense. Also, new overtime rules were not in the demo I played at the show. We went to overtime and when the guy I was playing scored the game was over.

Re: Gus Johnson Gives OS a Shout-Out

haha I didn't know Gus Johnson was that cool of a guy. A sideways hat? He always seemed like a nerd to me, but now I like him.

Gus Johnson looking tough with the hat all crooked and the brim untouched.

This made me laugh.

Well, then I am hoping they didn't edit all of it out from CD, but have much more to add on to E3's to be as good as the CD demo and hopefully far surpass it. Ian did say it wasn't in the final build so we will see how much it improves in this month and a half.

Not at all lol. He was like the life of the party at the EA Sports VIP reception for the MMA event last night. Shades on and everything

Lmao Gus Johnson is so cool I swear. He looks so weird in street clothes and a hat, its awesome though. His voice is the greatest thing my ears have had a chance to listen to.

Thanks Gus, if you read this I hope you stay true to yourself and speak up and encourage EA to get those commentary lines the way you'd want them to be not the way they have them now, thanks man.

i may be behind on here but did they end up adopting the rule for the whole regular season? i know they passed it for playoffs, im just not sure on the reg. season.

Re: Gus Johnson Gives OS a Shout-Out

I don't think they've decided yet.

Re: Gus Johnson Gives OS a Shout-Out

A real dick-move by Moore to make him try and recreate the call on the spot. That said, I think some of the issues (besides what others have mentioned) come from the fact that they didn't change Collinsworth's lines. I understand why as rerecording some of his stuff would be tedious but there has to be some interaction there. Matter of fact, I am not sure they would even gel well even if they had recorded them together as their styles contrast so greatly. Sad too because I was starting to consider Chris as Mr. Madden because he seems like a true replacement for Al or John due to the fact that he comes from the NBC premier broadcast. Now they bring in a youthful guy who just doesn't fit with Chris so it really seems like they don't know what they want to do.

Not to be a Debbie owner, but I have to believe this is a result of not doing things right the first time. Sure, Tom sounded pretty bad, but it seems as if some thought was put in to how he and Chris sounded together. Now when you have to go back and correct a mistake like Tom not being a high enough quality announcer, then you get a situation like this one. I still am not sure what they were thinking pairing Chris and Gus though; it really is a head scratcher. They really should have just paid the piper and procured Al and Chris from the get go or went with a 2nd or 3rd tier team if they were only interested in saving money.

Really, multiple audio presentations are the only way to go. I could care less if they only were able to get a couple 3rd tier teams or in the worst possible scenario, a first or 2nd tier team plus the radio guy. I am not sure why they threw out all of that finished audio when they could have just added it say as another presentation option or used it for Thursday night games in franchise or something. I hope nothing but the best for the twisted direction they are going in, but it seems to me that Chris (Mr. Madden) will have to go now if they are putting so much on Gus.

^^^^^ this fell on deaf ears apparently
