      Seems a bit harsh. Gotta expand the horizons.

      I have always appreciated his draft analysis, and I'm glad to have him aboard for this Madden release.

          I also haven't had the NFL Network that long. The past 4 years I have been at college, so didn't have it. And before that Verizon had it with their sports package which I don't pay for. So...

            I'm one who always turns off the commentary, but with this fresh start, I will give in a shot. What I like best about this scenario is how these guys are embedded into the development team. They are invested in the quality of the product. It is not just a paycheck for them. When making games, that kind of thing shows up in the finished product.

            Their energy and enthusiasm far outweigh the network/brand name value of established announcers, IMO.

            Do the same thing tomorrow. And the next. Now do it forever.

              Always thought EA needed to hire their own commentators that can commit to the job. Shocked they did it, well done.
              MLB the Show - Cubs
              2015: 80-82
              2016: 96-66 - Lost Game 7 of WS (18 innings to Red Sox)
              2017: 93-69 - Swept by Red Sox in World Series
              2018: 100-62 - Swept by Dodgers in NLCS
              2019: 14-11

                This certainly is an interesting & unique direction for EA to go. I have my doubts the weekly commentary updates will have much impact on Franchise Mode but we'll have to see. At the end of the day EA have tried numerous commentary teams over the years with no overall big improvements at the end of the day so hopefully this will work better.

He always seems to be framing his analysis as a question to his Partner as he ALWAYS calls who ever he works with to avoid catching any criticism if he is wrong. "Partner, don't you think they should run the ball here" he says as they throw a bomb for a touchdown right after he says it, lol. "This looks like a good time for them to punt it away and play deffense, right Partner?" As the team goes for it an converts. Rant over haha.
                  i really couldn't disagree with this any more than i do right now. He's a great football mind, expresses his point clearly, and provides outstanding analysis.

                  he's an asset to football commentary when on tv, and he's going to be a huge asset to the Madden franchise.

                    Ronde Barber's crew is 8th string for FOX. (He sucks, get him all the time, hates the Panthers, blah blah blah)

                      He also posts articles on NFL.com quite a lot. You'd seriously have to avoid Fox football, NFL Network and NFL.com to not know he is.

                      If you don't then fair enough but I struggle to believe a big NFL fan wouldn't know who he is.

                        I may have read his articles on NFL.com but honestly don't remember half of the guys that have wrote the articles that I have read. I pay more attention to the content then the writer honestly. Also not really a big NFL fan. I follow my team and that's it. Only neutral game I will watch is the SB. I'd call me a super casual fan. I'll check stats every now and then. Follow the draft, offseason, play Madden, etc. But I'm not the guy that goes out and buys Sunday Ticket or Red Zone to watch every game or see scoring plays.

                            No I did a quick google of both of them. As I stated earlier I read his Wikipedia page and it hadn't said he had done NFL games. Just was the lead College Football Analyst for Fox. And then did some college stuff for the NFLN with the Combine and Senior Bowl. So I figured that he was a college guy that hadn't called any NFL. But as Price and Marino among others pointed out I was wrong about him not doing NFL games.

                              Damn the improvements to this game are getting better and better. I have to give EA credit, over the last few years they have been doing a solid job of making this game better and better.

                              The new commentary team and announcement of updated commentary isn't exactly game changing but it will help keep the game feeling fresh and alive throughout the season. Group it with the other various improvements this year and it's sounds like a game that will definitely be worth a purchase.

                              This is coming from someone who was initially planning on skipping this year or at least holding off on that game at first but the more I hear about this game the more anticipated it becomes.
