Madden NFL 17 Gets New Commentary Team Featuring Brandon Gaudin & Charles Davis

Re: Madden NFL 17 Gets New Commentary Team

Yeah, this is actually a great idea/addition, but strangely, as I just posted in another thread, for me, regardless of who's doing commentary, I have always preferred to turn it off, because I want to feel like I'm on the field playing the game, not at home watching the game. So, for me, I hope the sound effects have been improved and whatnot. And, I'll turn on the commentary for a few games to see what it's all about. For people who want commentary, I think this is great. Weekly updated vocal recordings should keep the commentary fresh all season.

They mentioned if a guy came through the supplemental draft as an example so I'd imagine they'll add new lines based on all sorts of things. Say a big trade happens (made up example: Drew Brees to the Browns) they could talk about Brees being traded when they talk about him.

Using your example I'm going to probably guess that the updated lines will only be for Madden 365 that was mentioned before.

Just so you guys understand how far in development this team is planning, I knew about this except for the weekly updates and who it was going to be since the first time I went down there Feb 2015, glad i don't have to keep the no more Nantz and Simms a secret anymore! It's been a long wait to find this out!!

I'm not so sure. If you start a franchise with week 8 rosters and Brees is on the Browns then they could talk about Brees being traded for example. I think it'll be used throughout the game.

Hopefully that means they have a lot of lines ready.

Now that they dropped the bomb can you comment on how the weekly updates will affect franchise mode? Will there be commentary that talks about fictional players traded in franchise mode or commentary that mentions performance in previous games during franchise mode.

Re: Madden NFL 17 Gets New Commentary Team

Oh man, I got so excited when Gaudin mentioned the playoff implications of the Chiefs-Broncos game. That's going to be HUGE for franchise mode.

I share the same thoughts as this guy.

Also loving the hypocrisy in this thread. Everyone wants sim/realism and EA gets rid of that and people are thrilled. Lol.

Simms and Nantz are busy men. EA would really struggle to do the weekly updates with them. I'd prefer new guys with more lines and new updates than the CBS guys and the same old tired lines.

Yeah, because repeating the same lines 500 times in one game is realistic.

Re: Madden NFL 17 Gets New Commentary Team

Biggest step in the right direction I've seen so far with the game.. Might be the first year I don't completely turn off the commentary
