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

  11:02 AM - June 8, 2016 by Steve_OS

A new commentary team featuring Brandon Gaudin (play-by-play) and Charles Davis (color commentary and analysis) will replace Jim Nantz and Phil Simms in Madden NFL 17. The team will be able to add new commentary to the game throughout the entire season.

Quote:
Today EA Tiburon revealed the new commentary team that will be calling the games in Madden NFL 17. Brandon Gaudin will be the new voice providing play-by-play, with Charles Davis adding color commentary and analysis. Thanks to unprecedented access to Davis and Gaudin, Madden NFL 17 will ship with the most commentary ever at launch. This year’s game also features the opportunity to add commentary updates throughout the NFL season on Xbox One and PlayStation®4.

Brandon Gaudin will be joining the Big Ten Network as a play-by-play announcer this fall after being the Voice of the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets since 2013. Additionally, he has been named the lead college football play-by-play voice for Westwood One Sports, and will also call occasional NFL games for the network. Gaudin will continue to serve as one of the voices for Westwood One’s coverage of men’s basketball, including conference championship week and the NCAA Tournament.

Charles Davis is best known for his work on the NFL Network and NFL on FOX. This past season he could be seen providing analysis each week during NFL on FOX broadcasts, as well as providing extensive coverage of the NFL Draft on NFL Network. Davis is known for his meticulous and detailed knowledge of the NFL, which he will bring to the Madden NFL 17 broadcast booth.

He probably just mutes his TV and syncs the radio to the TV.

The ea play video thread was closed for some reason so I thought I would post this here.

How close to what we saw in the EA Play trailer do you guys think the commentary will actually be? I think it's going to be exactly like that or very close to that. We should be hearing some examples tomorrow. What do you guys expect?

Based on the comments from the game changers and everyone else who already heard the commentary, I think it'll be pretty close. I'm excited to hear it.

If so it will add a TON of immersion to the game.

I'm hoping it's just like the trailer. Also there was another clip some where of them talking about a kicker who was about to try either a game winning or game tying field goal and they mentioned he missed a kick earlier in the game. If the commentary is actually like that it will add a lot to the game.

I think it will much improved, but I still don't think it will be exactly like we heard in the clip. I just don't think the commentary engine will be able to know that the blocked kick will send the Broncos to the playoffs. I hope I am wrong, because it would be awesome to have that kind of awareness in the game.

Also, I wonder how hard it would be to get the exact scenario and then record it for a clip. I think a lot of manipulating of the season to do so.

Just my thoughts, and I don't think we will get that answer (franchise specific commentary) from tomorrow's videos since most, if not all, will be play now.

Need to hear more before making a decision but they do sound better than Nantz and Sims.

I think it got overhyped before we had a chance to hear anything, therefore I was expecting a little more.

With that being said, it is still much better than previous years and the fact that Gaudin and Davis will be more available to EA to record dialogue will be very helpful.
