I am one of the biggest Madden fans you’ll ever meet, and I’ve been playing the game for fourteen years now. I was just wondering who’s idea was it to have Cris Collinsworth commentate last year? And if it happens again I will not buy the game again til he is removed. Mike Ditka and Tony Kornheiser???? Chris Berman????
So I totally agree with this Jared Daugherty character…and a personal opinion of mine is that you should make Frank Caliendo as Madden an unlockable cheat, it would make the game so much more tolerable to listen to with commentary.
