I've always said, a huge "skip" factor is a broadcast that doesn't feel real. I can't stand Madden floating between the NFL channel and a quasi-CBS broadcast overlay/feel.

nba live has been super subpar but dang if I don't love the look and presentation of the dang game. FIFA 15 did it with the EPL, I'm a huge Real Madrid fan but both of my manager and player careers have been EPL because of the presentation package.

NCAA basketball and football were great to get that saturday feel with the full ESPN feel. throw in when basketball had both the ESPN AND CBS packages and broadcast views.

2k has great flowing commentary but it doesn't feel like a single broadcast I've watched. it feels like it is trying to find a medium between a few different ones. out. same with Madden, especially since you have the known NFC vs AFC coverage, nothing breaks my "reality" like playing Cowboys vs Bears on a sunday and it is this sorta-CBS broadcast. I'd even take Nantz and Simms but with a "fake" Fox style broadcast overlay if Madden stil refuses to bring in another broadcast crew to compliment Nantz/Simms not replace them. why not have a "Fox" and "CBS" style overlay, have the silly Fox Robot doing the game intro for Cowboys vs Redskins rather than this current strange intro that tells me its going to be an exciting matchup between two TEs today!

same for 2k, go TNT completely. get Chuck and Kenny, get the TNT overlays, get the whole NBA on TNT feel with pre-game, half-time, menu-"talking segments". that would bring it back to the real game feel.
