Well, we prayed and hoped and wished they wouldn't do it, but they've done it...they've made Gus Johnson's commentary as atrocious as Hammond's.

"This one's coming back!" Really Gus? Because usually when a team scores a touchdown and there's a penalty against the defense the offense DECLINES the penalty and takes the points. But why didn't you say that? Oh, is it because the programmers who control what you say and when you say it are not capable of putting together a solid commentary package? That's the big question, and I think I have my answer.

Thanks Steve...

Great to see my pats finally....But, with every new E3 vid i watch, i am liking it less and less.

Gus is indeed Hammond 2.0

What the heck happened? Seriously?

Re: Madden NFL 11 Video: Jets vs. Patriots (OS @ E3)

He said "This one should be coming back"

Commentator didn't even see what happened

"... he dumps it out left..."

"...passes it downfield..."

"... he scrambles away from defenders..."

The dead air is sickening, and there is no player identification on any lines. What's worse is that those are being announced as primary lines for first actions, not secondary... primary. That's unbelievable. It's the same problem as before, all they did was insert a new voice

If you listen closely to the video at about :58 seconds, you can hear another game in the background where Gus says "gives to the tailback". This is the same line that Tom Hammond had. I've never heard a commentator for the NFL use the term "tailback". I've only ever heard that term used by Collegiate broadcasters during Collegiate games and it sounds really out-of-place in an NFL game. I'll even go so far as to say, that if it is being used for NFL games, it's not being used often and certainly not by any major national broadcasting teams.

I'm starting to question just how much rewriting was actually done, if any at all. You can see how they don't really understand these little intricacies that help it sound more authentic, and why their mistakes are killing authenticity... then you look at players and some of their skintone are like 5 shades lighter in Madden than in real life... you look at Joseph Addai and he looks more like Andre Reed. How do you not notice that?

I'm sure Gus doesn't know this is happening with the commentary. Someone on the outside needs to let him know just how badly he's being represented. It's really unfair to Gus.

When you went to CD, do you remember if Gus used real names or not, and if their was deadspace at the beginning of every play. If not, then it might not be Gus or the script writers, but the editors themself, which is truly sad, removing solid announcing and replace it with mediocre announcing.

I think you're right. I quoted gabs485, I think he agrees with you too.

I don't remember there being identification in the correct way like "Sanchez, back to pass". But it was hard to tell what they were going to do at that point since most of the commentary was unavailable (still in developement) and there were placeholders in most spots (voiceovers of what the final would sound like, only not from Gus but from staff members).

After watching more and more vids, I'm becoming convinced it's just a talent (or lack thereof) issue with the Madden sound guys.

2k basketball (baseball, and NHL 10) are nearly flawless with their commentating which is constant up and down action....which leads me to believe it can be done, but the talent level for Madden just isn't there. It's just disappointing to see the untapped potential and listen to a miserable audio experience year after year. Time to hire some new audio folks Madden.

Re: Madden NFL 11 Video: Jets vs. Patriots (OS @ E3)

i thought they brought in a whole new audio crew this yr, and they were raving about how accurate team chants were. Has anybody been able to get listen on team chants?

I know right? What happened to the authentic gameplay that Ian was promising? I don't see what they did to improve the gameplay that much over last year. I was so much more excited last year and Ian seemed a lot more passionate about the game last year. I mean adding presentation is good and all but it's nothing more than additional cut scenes, and the same stuff we saw in 2K5. This game engine is played out already. Phil was pretty much saying they don't have enough money or time to recreate the whole game from scratch, but why not? You're friggin EA Sports! The only game in town! I wish I was more a baseball fan because MLB The Show in 3-D looked awesome!
