Madden Play by Play Critique


I must apologize for not getting a more inspired/current "graphic" to represent the one part of nearly every Madden game that pisses me off. Perhaps it's fitting that I use the cover of Madden 2000 for the PlayStation; because quite frankly, I haven't seen much improvement in this series in this area.
I got really excited when I didn't have to listen to the ABSOLUTELY uninspired "faux play by play" from Pat Summerall. I thought, Al Micheal's would be a joy!


NOT.

This year I haven't gotten to actually sample how the play by play is; but now it doesn't even have Madden. This iI don't mind either; because every year he tries so hard to muster up the collective rage to focus into his "Boom - Tuff Act'in Tinnaction" that there was nothing left for the game that carries his name.

I hear now that we are left with Cris Collensworth; and some other dude I have never heard of.

First, Cris Collensworth is a POLARIZING commentator. Most people I've met around the country hate him and want to pop his chicken bone neck in half. How could adding him to the game be an improvement?!?!?

I'm not even going to waste time commenting on some dude I've never heard of who's Cris's sidekick...

What really gets me most upset is that they can do the NBA, NHL, MLB, PGA all very well. WHAT THE HELL TIBERON!!?!?!?!? IS IT THAT HARD TO DO PLAY BY PLAY!??!!?

Ok, I've gotten that off my chest. I haven't posted in a while and I had some pent up rage. Still I think it's well placed.

I guess everyone will do what they always do with each years new installment of Madden. Turn off the Commentary after 3 days lest you have a conniption fit that would make the Tasmanian devil seem like a placid lake.

GAH! I"m like nearly POSTAL over THIS!


i really need to get out... and post.... more... (I want Shatner doing the play by play dammit!) LOL

For sports phone-atics everywhere.


Now if they branded this with specific teams, I'm sure they would fly off the shelves in NBA cities. I'd even think about getting one from our beloved Bulls. And if there was a Ditka phone, it would out sell the iPhone 200 to 1. Da Coach.
The N111 is specifically geared towards the NBA fan. Specifications for this handset have not been revealed by its producers. But as seen, we can surmise that it has a camera, a large screen which will probably bring high quality image display. Moreover, the navigation main button has the design of a basketball. N111 might turn out as being a low-end phone which tries to stand out only through packing the basketball concept in its design as to make it more appealing. Using a famous brand, such as NBA turns out to be, it is quite popular among handset producers in order to make people better relate to the devices and see them more as accessories rather than devices capable of more or less evolved performances. An estimated date when the N111 NBA phone model will be available has not been specified yet and neither has been the price that will come at. Of course, that will greatly depend on the performances of the handset. This is a Chinese phone model, but it is yet unknown whether N111 will be available only on this market or it will try to go global. Thanks to Mobilewhack, check it out here.
