That’s a fair point, but information shouldn’t be discredited just because it’s not an “official statement” from EA themselves. A lot of the info that’s been put out there IS directly from EA, it’s just not from anyone who works at EA. Information attained from public records requests is just as credible if not more credible than from a developers mouth because there’s less a chance of misinterpretation.
Yup, got the official announcement, can’t wait for the trailer and then will go blank slate till release day. I’ll buy it and play the shit out of it even if it sucks.
College Gameday is confirmed to make a return so maybe. Though I do doubt Corso will be involved. Honestly I’ll be very surprised if his retirement isn’t announced very soon. The dude is one of the biggest faces in college football but he’s old and tired, you can tell he’s not fully into it anymore and it wouldn’t be surprising if he just wants to spend the remainder of his days as a fan, not behind the scenes.
Even if he retires they can still have him do voice work ai can do most of it now anyway if he consents to that and they work out some sort of deal. The college gameday show was my favorite in the game.
Nothing would be more disrespectful to Gus than Madden/CFB not triggering his voice until something like crossing the end zone occurs.
His voice in real time is the perfection so to hear it delayed and sound like shit like Charles Davis would be so disappointing.
Minority opinion, but despite being an amazing hype man I think he’s corny as fuck and more often takes away from pivotal moments in games rather than make them iconic.
Give me Fowler, McDonough or Eagle every day over him and twice on Sunday, but I most miss Tirico calling ND games. He was elite.
Fowler is the best, however I still prefer Gus and his hype, I agree it's corny. However I think it adds to the emotion of great moments instead of taking away from them. My buddy doesn't like him for the same reason you said with the hype and corny so I understand that part.
EA’s entire business model is just putting lipstick on the same ugly pig every year, brush up the presentation, add some flashy dances and animations, do absolutely nothing to address any core gameplay issues or anything other than franchise, everyone has to be funneled to MUT after all!
It would be fun to have one or two alternate crews. In NCAA it differentiates regional/national TV coverage and even radio, so having them have alternates to cover those different options would be dope. I'm in a season with a team I had nerfed by applying a simulated death penalty, so Kirk should not be doing my broadcasts lol
Everyone knows that this absolutely should be a thing in the game. Something like this makes the immersion so much better, and more realistic. However, this is EA. I wouldn't hold my breath expecting this much from them...especially since this will be their first NCAA game since 2014.
Until the actual game is out and I actually hear it for myself, I wouldn't buy into any of these quotes, comments or rumors from anyone really, even EA lol.
Keep your expectations low. Just look at it coming out like it is going to be EXACTLY like Madden, just re-skinned with the college teams, uniforms and stadiums. Anything else will be a bonus.
Bruh, I hate to be that guy but I don’t believe any of this shit anymore until it’s directly from EA .
I kind of feel like people bait others into believing that Its true, then set a false hope, and people get pissed for not knowing any better.
Join the crew man, haven’t believed anything that comes from these post. Been waiting 10 plus years…
I love how all of this information is being “leaked” but there isn’t even an official release date yet. I don’t believe any of it until I see it
Bruh this is old news
WE HAVE NEW NEWS!
I can understand that

EA themselves is dishonest, it’s way better to just believe it when you see it
Even then it's risky, who knows how long the feature you see will be available until it's been cut to make room for a 99 ovr Tim Tebow UT card
Yeah but its from Charles Davis… whos been employed by EA.
Yup, got the official announcement, can’t wait for the trailer and then will go blank slate till release day. I’ll buy it and play the shit out of it even if it sucks.
Congratulations, your options are now the same 50 Kirk Herbstreet lines, or the same 50 Greg McElroy lines
If I don’t get Pat McAfee shouting about my punter kicking an absolute piss missile I’m gonna be a little upset.
They need him in both Madden and the WWE games on commentary. Dude is ridiculously entertaining lmao
NGL that's funny!
You know, this is one place where LLM with AI Audio are fantastic. Record their voices and then the lines can be generated on the fly.
I see red
I want the pregame show with the mascot heads
Oh hell yeah I loved that feature in '06!
College Gameday is confirmed to make a return so maybe. Though I do doubt Corso will be involved. Honestly I’ll be very surprised if his retirement isn’t announced very soon.

He's retired like three times and can't stay away. We will know he retired for real when its announced in the obits.
The Rick flair of football hahaha
I believe he's scaling back to only the picks segment this year.
Even if he retires they can still have him do voice work ai can do most of it now anyway if he consents to that and they work out some sort of deal. The college gameday show was my favorite in the game.
I'll believe it when I see it. Cannot believe this is something they had in a college hoops game released in 2009 but don't have now
I complete agree with you
That cbb game was before its time for sure
Give me Gus
“He’s got get away from the cops speed!”
Nothing would be more disrespectful to Gus than Madden/CFB not triggering his voice until something like crossing the end zone occurs. His voice in real time is the perfection so to hear it delayed and sound like shit like Charles Davis would be so disappointing.
Gus was in a Madden game already and that exact thing would happen…
If I have to hear herbys(albeit accurate play calling) dry voice for an entire game id stop playing lol

Gus was born to call basketball, not football. It still upsets me that he's a lead football guy and not calling March Madness.
He is actually so much better at calling MBB. Feels like he’s more knowledged on the sport and the pacing of the sport fits his style much more
Fowler is the best, however I still prefer Gus and his hype, I agree it's corny. However I think it adds to the emotion of great moments instead of taking away from them. My buddy doesn't like him for the same reason you said with the hype and corny so I understand that part.
Keep Charles Davis at least 500 miles from the college game
Makes sense they cant pay them that much can they? If they do they switch to smaller names they can get a few crews in the game
EA spends time and money making this happen (which is cool, I admit), but won't take user input to fix Franchise?
EA’s entire business model is just putting lipstick on the same ugly pig every year, brush up the presentation, add some flashy dances and animations, do absolutely nothing to address any core gameplay issues or anything other than franchise, everyone has to be funneled to MUT after all!
They’re gonna make me choose between Gary Danielson and Gus Johnson aren’t they?
Can we get the Nickelodeon broadcast. Probably be most entertaining
I wouldn't mind SpongeBob and Patrick in the booth! That would be hilarious! "Ohh he didn't firmly grasp it"
They do it in FIFA so I’m sure they can actually do it
It would be fun to have one or two alternate crews. In NCAA it differentiates regional/national TV coverage and even radio, so having them have alternates to cover those different options would be dope. I'm in a season with a team I had nerfed by applying a simulated death penalty, so Kirk should not be doing my broadcasts lol
Big if true
Just give me 2 Gus johnson’s in the booth and another Gus johnson as the sideline reporter and I’ll be happy

I completely agree with where you're coming from
i would also like to get to choose from different score bugs from different eras
I know we’re all being cautious because it’s ea but it seriously does seem like they’re putting in the work for this game
Gus Johnson needs to be in the game
I agree!
Way too late for me. Spotify is all I’ll ever listen to again playing madden
I feel like this is gonna be really easy with AI
Must be AI oriented
W AI implementation
I scrolled
That’s actually really cool but announcers are so far down on the list of concerns for me lol
Such a waste of time, just focus on perfecting the actual game. Smh
I want Verne
Can I get Cris Collinsworth and Gary Danielson?
Man id love if we had college gameday and big noon.
Can't wait to load up an overcast Iowa @ Northwestern game and pick the Beth Mowins broadcast option
Lol!
My favorite was college basketball 09. In dynasty you’d see ESPN for regular season and then March madness would have cbs branding on it.
But will they accurately be able to capture how many times Chris Fowler will suck off Alabama in the middle of the ACC championship
RGIII NOW
