Time for voice actors rather than real commentators?
Am I the only one that feels this could be a great step to a more dynamic presentation style. I understand there is a certain connection to listening someone that you can see on a Sunday morning, but I feel like it is interfering with the potential of what the game could be.
Wether it is the NFL or NCAA game, the true commentators even in the offseason are busy, they still have a job they still have to research and keep doing their job making voice acting a secondary job, not only that but EA has to most likely pay extra royalties ontop of the flat salary of voice acting in order to keep them without issues to their associated station and personal representation.
With voice actors it would provide an entirely new set of commentary, not only that it most likely would be cheaper after all, who theoretically would cost more, John Madden or a voice actor? That and it would free up more time for actually preparing lines of speech and actually putting in hours after all it wouldn't be a secondary job, rather their primary income.
Not only being most likely cheaper but they might actually do better. Nothing against current commentators but their jobs are more-so to call the games as it happens and reading from papers / screens tends to become mechanical, where as voice actors are trained to make their speech realistic.
Am I the only one that feels that real commentators are holding the games presentation back?
