Are they portrayed like they are in real life? Do they ask questions, have back and forth banter? Etc. etc.
Yep, all the above, but the repetitiveness does get to me, so, to each their own on that.

It's not like I can press the A button and filter through it, lol.

I have a gut feeling that is the way Nantz-Sims will be, too. Recording them together was huge and they've worked together for 8 yrs plus, 99% of the commentary is ad-libed,

Just need to hear it in more action and game play.
