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

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

As far as I know. For instance, I drafted a quarterback in the 2018 draft named Sean Samuels. Jim Nance or Phil Simms never mention him by name during the game. This goes for any other automatically generated franchise draft player.

Ahhhh I get what you're saying now. I agree.

I'll have to wait and see how this plays out in an offline franchise. I don't really see how the updated commentary would be beneficial to an offline franchise unless my offline franchise mirrors real life trades.

I'll also have to wait and see if there is far less repetitive commentary. This could be good for offline franchise or it could just be "meh".

Really wish the Franchise Blogs would come out. Just need to be patient.

There are two parts to it: one is that with updated commentary comes the potential for play now/online games to reference real-world changes in the league.

The other part of it is that since they will be constantly updating commentary, there may be new lines/scenarios fed into your CFM that you don't even know happened. So maybe at launch they don't have anything for random scenario X, and that scenario happens in your game and commentary doesn't mention it. But maybe down the line X happens again and now the game has new commentary about X.

While I don't think the commentators has ever been the real issue, this new move is actually a really good idea. I am all about realism to the nth degree, but having a fictional commentary team never bothered me because of how lifelike they were.

The idea to update the commentary every week is an excellent idea and can't really be done with busy guys like Simms and Nantz. This is a very innovative decision and I'm very surprised they did this.

If player movement and line play made the jump to next gen, I'd be converted back into a true Madden fan like I was many years ago. Still waiting on that, but this is certainly a nice addition to the game.

EDIT: yes, I am fully aware that the guys they chose are not fictional, lol. I am a big fan of Charles Davis, and he does, in fact, call games. He is an excellent choice.

I hope it is more of just adding generic scenarios vs. updating what happened last week in the real NFL. If I'm playing my franchise game in week 5, I have no need to hear about someone rushing for 200 yards last week in the real NFL.

Thats why those specific dialogue lines when introducing a team wear thin. It may mention Brady has won 4 Super Bowls but if hes won another in my franchise, it never gets changed.

Charles Davis calls NFL games on FOX - so to anyone complaining that they didn't get an NFL analyst needs to relax.

Looks like EA is finally trying to take their product (presentation) to another level and you guys are complaining - talent schedules, budgets, etc all play a role.

Madden doesn't use network monikers like FOX, CBS, NFLN, ESPN etc this allows in my estimation the opportunity to bring in whomever to handle the play by play & analysis responsibilities giving us fresh voices/commentary every few cycles.

I could also see where this could open the way for more commentators.....if your playing Sunday night football you can have differnt guys....same thing with Monday night and Thursday night....if they are taking guys in house of EA sports this would be a lot easier to make this happen

I hope so too. Like you said, a statement about how a guy ran for 200 yards in real life isn't really relevant to anything outside of a live mode which is what Madden 365 very well could be. Maybe Online H2H but even then isn't presentation really limited online? If they spend the weekly updates adding more names for players and rookies, different opening sequences for match-ups, and just overall additional dialogue throughout the year then this will absolutely be huge.

I like this. Hopefully will provide a little more energy in the commentary.

Exactly...i would much rather have during pre-game them talking about how Brady had a huge game last week in my franchise, but todays hes going up the Seahawks secondary who only have allowed 1 TD pass the past 5 weeks. Show Brady warming up and Sherman doing back peddling drills durinf the pregame montage

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

did anyone notice the mention of full real-time presentation in the presentation blog?
That is monumental news. It will completely change the pace and feel of the game. I am ecstatic

Being a Pats fan I am usually watching CBS during the year. And I am not subject to hearing the 8th string commentators. And I don't watch college football.
