The receiver catches the ball, starts celebrating, turns towards the sidelines and starts running over there to get a breather, then Gus Johnson yells,"He's got it! Touchdown!" Really EA?

My question: "why does the commentary have a 5 second lapse between start of play until Gus' voice?"

Ian Cummings response: "Oh I see now - demo build? Seems like a bug there since the demo is not a final build"

Ian Cummings 2nd response: "Oops, may not be a bug, Ronnie just reminded me they cut out a ton of commentary to make it fit in the demo."

Eh its a demo guys I really don't think they tweaked it to synch right....I'm surethe full version will be synched better

wow i can't believe that so many people are buying this game!

i don't really care for the announcing thing, but what is wrong with that running game? that looks so off!

EA needs some competition!

that makes sence i get it now..

that was like watching a movie with out of sync audio. i really hope this is the fault of the video. if not, commentary will be turned off because that is beyond annoying.

"he's looking to turn the corner."

gus, he turned the corner 5 yards ago. wake up, fella.

Read the quote above your post.

Ian explains it on Twitter.

well, that's still not an adequate explanation. the play by play needs to be in sync with what's happening on the field. so far as i can tell, he's saying there is missing filler from collinsworth?

oh well. not a big deal for the demo; it's the retail copy that i care about.

What Ian is saying is that they had to take out some of Gus' commentary to fit it in the demo.

Right...but it's still way too late. And if it sounds so poor on the demo, why did they even choose to put it in halfheartedly?

Honestly, I think the Madden audio crew needs to go and have new blood hired...they've been pretty bad for awhile now (writing, implementing AND choosing announcers) and I'm not sure why they still have their job.

Gameplay looks alright, just boring and stale to me.

I honestly can't believe their 'big thing' is gameflow this year. In some interviews Ian just sounds kind of defeated and apathetic, like he's getting pressure from management on how to develop the game and they're restraining his creativity.

# 35 seriousluboy83 @ 07/16/10 08:08 PM

there it is again...coach calls it perfectly..."let's pound the ball up the middle on this run. And if they blitz maybe we can evade and get a big gain."...then BOOM!!! the exact thing he just said happens...scripted

They already hired a new sound man. I don't think it's the writing or choosing of announcers(except for Hammond), just the way it's implemented.

I don't know if your last paragraph has any merit. Ian already admitted he hates the camera. The developer series turned from a 2 hour job to a 6 hr job. If that happened to me, I'd be pretty ugly looking too.

5 yard penalty, repeat 1st down.

wait.. what?!?!?!

# 38 bxgoods @ 07/16/10 09:28 PM

The commentary from Gux Johnson and the coordinator talking about the play don't match well.
The Coordinator sounds so calm, and then out of nowhere Gus just comes out screaming the action lol.

I don't think Gus Johnson is a good choice for a video game announcer, he screams whenever he talks, he doesn't sound right in a videogame. Only way he would work if there were two announcers, one calm one, and one Gus.... in his screaming glory lol.

# 39 PantherBeast_OS @ 07/16/10 09:52 PM

The videos looks good. Can't really get a feel for Gus Commentary in this short video right now. But I can't wait to play the demo. Thanks for posting bro.

Is Cris Collingsworth friends with Michael Irving?
