Re: Madden NFL 17 Gets New Commentary Team Featuring Brandon Gaudin & Charles Davis
Can't wait to hear them in action. New commentary teams are always fun at the start and Jim Nantz and Phil Simms had become way too repetitive. But Madden commentary never was terrible because of who was announcing (except with radio bunker guy), but because of how it was executed which we've yet to see. If it's still "Vikings line up at the 47.....Toss to Peterson....TOUCHDOWN!!" then it's still going to be bad no matter who's doing it. They need to find a flow that leaves as little dead space as possible while sounding good which is a very hard task. The weekly updates should hopefully help with constantly adding more and more things that are usable going forward. It might be a little rough at first but hopefully this will be the team that sticks together for a while and provides a noticable improvement year in, year out.Comment

Hey Rex did yall improve the flow of the commentary throughout the game? It is more natural now does it have more of a continuous flow?Brandon is amazing. You guys will not believe the difference. Here is a small taste from his college radio days:

But the updated commentary makes no sense for Franchise mode because if a player got traded to another team in real life it won't happen in an already in progress franchise mode. What if I'm already in year 3 of my franchise and one of my players were to be traded. I decide in my franchise if this player gets traded.
So I will assume this feature is just for Play Now games.Comment

Re: Madden NFL 17 Gets New Commentary Team Featuring Brandon Gaudin & Charles Davis
Certain lines or additions could only apply to those. But with weekly updates it could also account for breakout players or even middle of the road players that make a name for themselves. For instance last year at launch Charcandrick West or Spencer Ware would never have been considered to have their names recorded but with injuries their play time significantly increased and they now have the ability to record and input those names into scenarios. So instead of hearing "Touchdown Chiefs" every time you score with one of them no matter what, now maybe after an update you hear "Touchdown Charcandrick West" sometimes too. Same with players like Victor Cruz where maybe later in the cycle the announcers are saying his name when at release he wasn't even on the radar.But the updated commentary makes no sense for Franchise mode because if a player got traded to another team in real life it won't happen in an already in progress franchise mode.

Re: Madden NFL 17 Gets New Commentary Team Featuring Brandon Gaudin & Charles Davis
What if I told you they improved the Draft Coverage....Since Charles Davis is now part of the commentary team maybe he can really help improve Madden's NFL Draft coverage. If they were able to get him to make a draft big board/mock draft every year in CFM and maybe even provide some commentary on prospects taken in the draft franchise can improve majorly.
Just kidding. No idea if they did, but we shall find out when the blog is released!Comment

Right. They obviously won't specifically record stuff for your CFM but happenings in your CFM might be covered by future updates. If it's done right you won't even know it happened.Certain lines or additions could only apply to those. But with weekly updates it could also account for breakout players or even middle of the road players that make a name for themselves. For instance last year at launch Charcandrick West or Spencer Ware would never have been considered to have their names recorded but with injuries their play time significantly increased and they now have the ability to record and input those names into scenarios.

Re: Madden NFL 17 Gets New Commentary Team Featuring Brandon Gaudin & Charles Davis
That is a great video to show just how much different the flow is between Madden and a normal broadcast. If they could achieve anywhere near that level of fluidity then it would be a ridiculous jump in quality for commentary.Comment

I really liked the part about foley, those peeks behind the scenes with rubbed cloth, spoon meets helmet, ski pole and drenched shirt sure felt fascinating, and made me better appreciate the efforts of those who strive to "tell a story" in a videogame using sound effects.Comment

The commentary in the finished game could not sound any farther from this.Comment
