There are many times where the commentators will say things that are 100% wrong. Today I was winning in a game and playing defense with under a minute left. Phil Simms is literally saying the other teams is up by 7 when it is me who is up. I find this happens a lot. Is this something fixable or just the way the game is?

What is wrong with the commentary?
(besides it being flat and dull, with an awful half-time report)

Re: What is wrong with the commentary?
Yeah, commentary is way off this year. Maybe they'll fix it in a future update. -
Re: What is wrong with the commentary?
I really really hate both of the commentators. Jim Nantz has this annoying lilt to his voice like he's singing everything. It also really bothers me that they act like the kick return is part of the drive, it's always first and ten from the 20 and they start out by saying "After the long play it's 1stand 10." or "After the 20 yard play it's first down." I also wish there was some recognition of what quarter and play it is, they get one long run and Phill Simms goes on about how the defense needs to put rocks in their pocket at some point.
I will say that I do like how they comment on teams past games in CFM, even if it's all pretty standard it's a decent addition.Comment

Re: What is wrong with the commentary?
They need multiple teams, networks have how many 2 man teams now? (Different sideline reporters would be nice also, and show them on the sidelines, not just voice overs) and they don't need to be actual real life announcers either, Get voice actors, get the 2 guys from the nfl2k series, anything would be better than what it is now. The ability to add commentary via updates during the season would go a loooong way toward taking the staleness out of it as well.Last edited by reverend_heat; 08-29-2014, 04:30 PM.Comment

In all seriousness, they need to have 1 team work out properly before they start having multiple teamsThey need multiple teams, networks have how many 2 man teams now?

Re: What is wrong with the commentary?
the best is when you throw deep down the middle against the cover 2, and then simms says, "this quarterback is attacking the wrong part of the field, he needs to target deep down the middle. hes attacking the outside which is the strength of this cover 2"Comment

Re: What is wrong with the commentary?
At least Simms isn't criticizing every play. Seemed last year, he was saying how I hit the wrong hole (After I ran an ISO) or called the wrong play or I should have done this or.....
And not wanting to throw my "crisp, refreshing, bottled beverage" through the TV screen at him.Make #FranchiseNation great again!
This thing called Twitter I do sometimes
What's your thoughts? It's a game.

Just scored a TD. Lining up for the PAT. Sims: "Good job on getting a first down in the redzone. Let's see if they can trick the defense and get a score."

Re: What is wrong with the commentary?
My comment was more about best possible scenario after the actual commentary logic would be applied, not having multiple commentary teams being the fix of the current situation.Comment

Re: What is wrong with the commentary?
I think that is a problem. It's one thing to have a commentator phone it in, but it's another when the commentary does not match up with what's on the field. For me, it snaps me out of that TV coverage immersion.
I wonder if it can be turned off. I have not checkedDON'T PANICComment

Question, what system are most of you all on?
I'm on PS4 and I have been pleasantly surprised with commentary, at least in CCM.Last edited by Mckinley Cash; 08-29-2014, 09:43 PM.Comment

Re: What is wrong with the commentary?
Also too much dead silence between plays. No banter really between the two. Can't recall any of their real broadcast but I'm sure they don't just say what's going on half way through each play. I know 2k's NBA and The Show have some banter, which still gets repetitive, but it's better then absolute silence that may be followed by commentary that doesn't even fit the play.
Especially when you do something positive on Offense only for the announcers to act like it was a negative play, makes you laugh at first but after a while just plain sloppy.Comment
