Are they portrayed like they are in real life? Do they ask questions, have back and forth banter? Etc. etc.
I agree. Repetitive bothers me only a little tiny bit. In madden 12 the commentary doesn't even match the action on the field. After I march down the field and score on a play action pass to the full back in the flats all alone, Guss says something about going for an interception and that leading to the score and him and Chris go on some rant about safeties playing with aggressive corners. It's nice audio, but it has ZERO context. It also appears to happen whenever my first score of the game is a passing TD regardless of how it happened. My guy could be wide open, doesn't matter.

Chris talks about how [insert QB] is sort of a streaky passer... even Brady, Manning, Rodgers, and Brees. There are so many examples of poorly edited and poorly chose commentary that I find myself turning it off and occasionally turning on the GameFlow coordinator audio to hear something.

I honestly don't see Madden 12 being that interestign to listen to after two or three games, and that's sad. In fact, I expect to hear at least 5 out of context mistakes and at least 3 things repeated before I finish one game of M13 if/when I get it.
