    Commentary ruining end of Super Bowl

    I’m frustrated so I had to come here and gripe a little. I just played the Super Bowl as the Bears vs. the Patriots. It was an incredible game. I led 21-14 with 2 minutes left, then Brady marched his team 80 yards for the game tying score to send the game to overtime. It was vintage Brady. And the only commentary I got was “Touchdown Patriots!” I got absolutely no context or excitement about Brady doing his thing in the Super Bowl again. Ok, I guess I can overlook that, but things really fell apart in overtime...

    I win the toss and end up kicking a field goal to take a 24-21 lead in overtime. The Patriots set up for their drive and then I hear this line: “We’re in uncharted waters here because no Super Bowl has ever gone to overtime.” Right, except Super Bowl 51. Ok, there’s an old line of commentary, I’ll just ignore that. Well, then it gets to 4th and 4. The Patriots have to convert to keep the game going (it would have been cool to hear some commentary saying that, but they didn’t mention it). Brady makes a short pass to Gronk who catches it, but Roquan Smith holds him up just short of the first down...the Bears win the Super Bowl on an incredibly dramatic play! And what’s the commentary I got? “And that will be a turnover on downs. The Bears will have the ball with great field position.” I went from this high of seeing such a cool ending to immediately being taken completely out of the moment by bad commentary. It’s 2018, Madden makes a billion dollars a year...certainly they have to be able to do better than this.

      Something they did really broke Commentary. It’s horrible this year. Honestly just embarrassing for a title like Madden made by a company like EA. I really hope they don’t plan to leave it like this.

        I'd really like to have a tuned down commentary. Just the player name, yards, etc. I don't want to hear the repeating stories anymore. ...Fireworks, pyrotechnics - you name it.

                I think this is the first year with Gaudin and Davis that the commentary has not been well put together. It's not their fault. They're pretty good. I just think the commentary logic in '19 is definitely off in some spots.

                  Do this today: Instead of $%*#!@& on a game you're not going to play or movie you're not going to watch, say something good about a piece of media you're excited about.

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

                    On the topic of commentary, am I the only one who finds it annoying that the commentators know they're in a video game?

                      I don't like the comments about it being a video game. Like they're talking to me the player

                      I've heard on numerous occasions about the pass being incomplete, just for the next line to be about how many yards the catch did in fact gain as a completion

                      Or about me declining a penalty, when in real life its be the best option to

                      It's like they put commentary on the back burner this year

                        It's unreal that they still haven't fixed this.

                          Irritating that winning the Super Bowl is the same animation as last year. I want something new every year for something like that.

                              Kills it for me. Especially the "ok I guess were gonna skip halftime *chuckle*." Ruins the game.
