New commentators for Madden 09

GUS JOHSON, HANDS DOWN THE BEST ANNOUCER OF SPORTS EVER

[quote comment="16155"][quote comment="16137"]the irony of all of this is while that is the news lol the same wrong uniforms are used on the browns. not your fault pasta just lazy EA PEOPLE.[/quote]

There is a disconnect between the NFL and EA that shouldn’t be there considering the license. It’s a subject Peter Moore specifically stated he’d get on in the interview I had with him. So I think that uniforms will be much more accurate this year.[/quote]

oh i hear ya i called them from sept-oct-nov. and they told me they would send out patches and such never did. they also told me they were planning to head into a new direction and such. this was back in sept, oct of last year….so disconnect is a nice way of putting it pasta but your a abetter man than me for saying it that way. i just want the customers to be smart consumers this year.

EA religiously gets the Bills unis wrong every year too O’rly. I would like to see the MNF crew and/or Madden and Michaels but am just sooooooooo happy that f@#%ing radio (I think Eagles?) guy is out!!!!! Thx Pas’

NO ITS NOT THE EAGLES GUY…..NOT EVEN CLOSE LOL!!

If I got to choose 1 guy to roll with this season, I would EASILY go with Paul Allen (play by play guy for the Vikings).

He would add the emotion to it and keep games from becoming boring (as long as they give him a chance to adlib his lines a bit).

Here’s a sample of his work:

Too bad he ain’t national…

The Eagles’ radio guy is Merrill Reese. The existing radio announcer in Madden is not Merrill Reese.

HILARIOUS WOULD LOVE HIM AS RADIO MAN FOR MADDEN!

Here’s my top 3, in possiblity order:

1) Madden & Al
2) NFL Network
3) ESPN Monday Night Football

would be cool if Mon night games were covered by the Mon nigth announcers and so on and so fourth.

“How about Shannon Sharpe hes pretty good”

We would need closed captioning in this case.

For on we know its not gonna be madden and Al…Second i would put the nfl network guys last if not on the list at all…Have u heard Gumble do games!! Its as emotionless and exciting as terry Schivo!

You my friend are on to something! It would be great if Sims and Nance did Afc games and Buck and Aikman do Nfc games so and and so forth..Is that likely to happen prob not though cus that would cost Ea coin..I think its likely That it’ll be the monday night crew cus they have the contract with espn which makes the mnf crew Ea’s Bitches if you think about and it prob wont cost them anything to pay them

I would love Kenny Alberts or Joe Buck as the play-by-play. I could care less about the analyst. Troy isn’t bad, though.

They need to get Keith Jackson for NCAA…

I would like to see classic commentators….I am thinking Dick Enberg and Merlin Olson, two of the best ever.

I hope that they stay away from the Monday Night crew. I like Mike Terico but Tony Kornheiser??? No way.

Here are my top five:
1) Enberg and Olson
2) Bob Costas
3) Madden and Michaels (as long as they have new dialogue)
4) Erin Andrews (well, at least photos….)
5) The old Sunday Night crew with Thiesmann and Mike Patrick…Those guys were awesome.

I would like to see Joe Buck and Troy Aikman because they are the best commentating team in football hands down. If not them Mike and Mike are funny and would make the game interesting.

That would be really cool, wouldn’t it be great though if EA got every announcer from FOX, CBS, NFL Network, NBC, and ESPN and depending if it was a nationally televised game or a regional game would depend what announcers you have, oh but wait EA won’t do that that, thats too much content for them for 1 yr. maybe 10 yrs from now, haha, I know the technology is there, we are in next-gen fellas but I guess I’ll keep dreaming

Joe Buck is absolutely the worst. Troy Aikman is the second worst.

We already know who the main commentator will be… Marshall Faulk. Can you imagine him doing the broadcasting?

“This game was won by the team with the most points. At the beginning of this game, I predicted that the visiting team would win in this game. This game came down to a nail-biting close game.”

They should have Kornheiser in his bright red suit doing the penguin dance!!

What about Stuat Scott and or Chris Berman??? That would be awesome!

ESPN & FOX have the worst announcers.

Bring on Jim Nantz & Phil Simms so we can listen to Phil’s “Philosophy” before every pregame…or go back to Madden & Michaels

if nantz and simms are in it that’s okay.
only problem is that i really dont like simms much.
Simms was in NFL gameday series,never liked him their
the problem with the ESPN group is that it would cost EA to much to have 3 Announcers.the NFL network crew really wouldnt work since their games are only on thursdays,same with MONDAY night football, theres is on monday DUH!!
LOL caliendo could do anyone
1.madden
2.michaels
3.jaworski
4. buck
5.simms
6.kornheiser
they should have someone for their halftime shows like jim rome.[caliendo can impersonate him too!!
bad thing is i won’t get a laugh from madden unless i play
madden on the non next gen consoles

i think that the radio thing was awesome they had for next gen consoles
my opinion is nantz and simms

yeah stuart scott would be good to
