The commentary sounds okay.

What bothers me is how Nantz sounded. Seemed very different from what he sounds like in a real broadcast because the emotion almost didn't seem, I don't know, genuine? To be honest he sounded really Tom Hammond-ish.

I agree, I thought Simms sounded like he pretty much does in real life.

You may not be bothered, and that might be the problem with EA as a whole.

Not being bothered by feedback and not caring are two entirely different things to me.

Are those dead spots from the crowd during certain points when Nantz and Simms are talking intentional for this video to show off the commentary? Or is it just where the audio is at this point, a work-in-progress?

Yes, did you hear the clip yesterday of the new crowd audio during the webcast? It sounds a whole lot better this year.

Answer from Shopmaster in regards to my question tonight for the GC Radio Show, he didn't have time to answer it on air but did tweet me about it.

Josh Davis ‏ @jpdavis1982
@Shopmaster What I would like to know tonight is if Nantz just says he drops back to pass, he catches it, or if he uses real players names

Shopmaster ‏ @Shopmaster
@jpdavis1982 He doesn't say he all the time. I think it's something that will be better when rosters are solid. Rosters weren't finished.

Depending on how early of a build that was, at that point, they may not have recorded hardly any names at all yet.

first off wtf is going on with the size of the numbers on the cowboy uniforms?
second i cant stand how they continually make the qbs look like hunchbacks (see romo)
third didnt we just hear that the crowd was supposed to react better to big plays? When they showed that first charger touchdown it seemed like any regular play, you couldnt even hear the crowd.

I still will probably be getting this game, but hopefully i wont be trading it away to a friend for half the value like the last 2 years because I was so disgusted with it.

That was what I thought. The original recording is probably him saying "he" or "home team" or "away team," but when put together it'll get replaced with audio of their names/teams.

I think I would be okay with the regular use of pronouns, if the trade off was more emotion during big plays.

I believe the build Shop played is the current build because he's talking about when he played it last week at Community Day. Which means the build we are hearing this in-game commentary from probably didn't have hardly any players names in it yet, because it shows V-Jax on SD and Shop was talking about playing with RG3 and the Redskins last week.

Yeah, the two intro's they showed during the livestream were much more polished and there was pretty much zero deadspace and they sounded lightyears ahead of this video.

Yeah after listening to TheSimStandard's Community Day Recap #2 video(everyone should watch if you haven't yet) and seeing the difference between these and the videos yesterday I have very little doubt that they aren't just using the WIP as a scapegoat but they genuinely mean it. So people can say oh we have heard it's an early build for the last how many years all they want, but now there is actual evidence supporting it which you cannot deny.

Surprisingly boring. I mean he scored a touchdown on a fumble recovery after a huge sack at least sound somewhat excited. Wow. Snoozer fest. That's just too bad

Like I said it's a WIP, that video is from a very old build and not only that but you can't hear the new crowd audio at all there compared to what we heard yesterday in the webcast. I don't have to hear Nantz going nuts like Gus Johnson on a TD if the crowd is.
