Charles Davis Needs to Talk Less

I love the new announcer crew. Gaudin is great on it, he's got that Joe Buck kind of voice and it feels like a real broadcast. But Charles Davis' analysis goes way too long.

If you get a play off and he's still going, it doesn't matter how big the play is... he's still talking about something random. I have gotten delay of games because I waited until Davis stopped talking because I wanted to hear the play's call from Gaudin.

First update needs to cut Davis' script significantly. Other than that I love the new broadcasting team.

No Simms = Greatness

CD rambles some, but I'm fine with it.

He talks quite a bit irl. I'm a big davis fan, i really appreciate him putting in the time to make all this work so well.

Anything is better than Simms or Collinsworth, two guys who made me want to pour acid in my ears.

But I do kind of agree with the OP, Davis commentary can sometimes run way too long. It's not as big of an issue as it was with Simms and his monologues that were longer than War and Peace but it can still run over more than 1 play.

The issue to me is that he's usually not done with his line before the next play is already over, so you end up with him talking about making a decision to run or pass on 3rd after you've already run your 3rd down play. They need an interruption system.

Re: Charles Davis Needs to Talk Less

I have zero issues with his commentary cause that's how he is in real life. Also, it adds more immersion and it's like the real thing when their talk carries over into the next play. Also NBA 2k commentary team does this ALOT and it sounds great there too.

Actually the problem (I had) before was that Phil Simms just wasn't a very likable personality, and the same few lines used again and again. With the first ever (to my knowledge) Audio update, hopefully things will be much more diverse now.
