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

    This is... peculiar. One of the perks of old-gen and the newer Maddens were authentic NFL commentators. Even if the context wasn't the greatest, the mere presence of them still gave you that NFL feel.

    If they want to switch guys around like this... why not pay voice actors to imitate John Madden and Pat Summerall?

      Madden and Summerall impersonators? Seriously?

        I haven't posted here in years. It's refreshing to see that many posters are happy about Madden. EA seems to be adding many of the requests posters have been making for years. Not to dismiss the new commentators, but the fresh commentary feature, Madden 365, seems like a long time coming. Glad that this feature, along with the live ticker, finally made it into the game.

          You want two guys who haven't done games in years??

          I'd much rather have "no-name" guys who will be adding commentary throughout the year over any current guys like Simms and Nantz...unless of course those guys would be willing to do updates as well. (not likely)

            I wouldn't get those hopes up. I wasn't talking about how the guy calls the game. I was talking about the context of the play, the player and the playoff implications. I don't see the commentary being on that level yet in-game at all, considering how far behind its been to this point.

            I would love to be proven horribly wrong but nothing shown so far lends to believing otherwise. When there are games 10 years older with arguably better commentary, and current gen games that are lightyears better...surely one could understand my skepticism here.

            Nonetheless, we shall see. I do like the direction they are taking with fresh voices and guys who can put in longer hours recording. Commentary has been a sore spot in Madden for well over a decade now and has long since been in need of a facelift.

              Not to mention Pat Summerall died 2 years ago.

                    Nothing yet. Just that commentary from the trailer with the blocked kick.
                    1458, not counting playoffs, that's the number of games in a row I haven't missed! Go Yanks!

                              jpdavis, can you find out if there is commentary during replays, and do they describe the play during the replay? and if there is a lot of "dead air" or not? Also has anyone talked about the halftime show and how or if the same commentary will be implemented?

                                let me see if I can help you out, aguero.

                                Here are the big points from the Twitter conversation:

                                -The guy has played at least 8 games. He blocked a punt and the commentary sounded a lot like the gameplay trailer from EA Play.

                                -He says very few lines are repeated.

                                -He got an interception and it sounded really authentic because they said the interceptor's name right after the pick.
