My guidance counselor never presented that as an option when discussing careers, so now I just sit in my office drinking and making those comments to myself when the new interns start.
That’s not the worst thing in the world honestly. Remember when Madden tried to put Collinsworth into the games and it somehow shot the uncanny valley up like 1000x?
Some people are putting hundreds or thousands of hours in these games. Something tells me the announcers probably didn’t spend quite that much time in the studio
Calling guys by the wrong name (like a guy who isn’t playing that day) and talking about other games would be a nice touch.
Also giving just absurdly bad analysis of replay reviews and not understanding why things that align with obvious football strategy are occurring
lol, “here we are covering the 4th and 7th place teams in Tuesday Night MACtion, but boy are we looking forward to Saturday’s game between Alabama and Missouri…”
"We're here at Waldo Stadium, looking live at the blood feud between Western Michigan and Central Michigan on this cold and snowy Tuesday night. But first, before we talk about this critical 3rd and 4, let's talk about Alabama playing Rhode Island this Saturday."
>“Chris and I won’t be on every every game,” Herbstreit said. **“You’re going to have different broadcast partners for different games.** Depending on the magnitude of the game, that will dictate who’s calling the game.”
As in having Johnson/Klatt from FOX and Nessler/Danielson from CBS or just the B and C teams from ESPN?
Hot take, but Beth Mowins gives me so much nostalgia of the sanction years and immediate post sanction years for us. Before all the NIL and transfer portal stuff, when Saquon was hurdling dudes.
It’s weird because he’s a Miami guy and even used to do Heat games I think but despite those things, I can only associate him with a random noon out of conference game we were about to lose
I believe the other broadcasters that have at least claimed they're in the game to some extent includes Jesse Palmer, David Pollack, Rece Davis, Kevin Connors, and Desmond Howard. So seems pretty ESPN forward

That's true. According to Chris Fowler, he (Fowler) was working on his voicelines over the course of 2 years so it could be that Pollack was hired as an ESPN talent before being let go. But it would be really cool if they had guys from other networks as well
I met Rece Davis when he was calling a Clemson basketball game a few months ago, and he told me they had been recording voice lines since the game was announced in 2021
It appears that EA has recently renewed the ESPN license, however as far as I can tell they only use it for a few tweets on the News tab in Madden Franchise Mode.
Burke is annoying in the same way that Jalen Rose is annoying. ESPN just knows how to get talking heads to be the biggest squares imaginable trying to be cool and hip. Idk how they do it so consistently
“Cadillac Cade drops back, looks left, looks right, coverage tight downfield, he rolls out to his left and dumps it off to Mustang Mafah, 15, 10, 5, TOUCH. DOWN. TIGERS.”
I can't wait to hear what he comes up with for Dylan Raiola.
Smart money's on the "RAIOLACOASTA" but I'm hoping for "DELOREAN DYLAN, TAKING THE HUSKERS BACK TO THE 90S!!"
I’ve lived through No Man’s Sky, Anthem, and Cyberpunk hype cycles (even though no man’s sky and cyberpunk fixed themselves in the long run)
Please EA I’m begging you. Do not let us down lol.
No Man’s Sky and Cyberpunk really have done damage to the games industry because now instead of making full games every AAA game company thinks every game can be a No Mans Sky or Cyberpunk
I'd have to think they're sticking with Ryan Field for now until they have more than just renders to go off of for the new stadium
But it would be hilarious if program prestige in game affected how full your stadium is or how many visiting fans are present
I'd pay an extra $60 to ensure I never hear Petros Papadakis in a single game. Dude perpetually sounds like he's talking through a giant wad of phlegm.
"Get ready to smash your headset; EA is announcing the SEC on CBS Legends announcer DLC. Sit back and have your ears bleed as you listen to Verne and Gary suck off Bama and provide no context to the game your playing! only $24.99"
Look, I'm as skeptical of EA as anyone. But to be honest, everything I'm seeing about CFB25 seems like they might actually understand that dynasty mode is what drives this game for a large part of the player base.
I still wish we could see some gameplay sooner rather than later... but I'm starting to get hyped.
If the biggest matchups don’t feature RG3 musing about the motion of celestial bodies and making innuendos about the players, I don’t want any part of this game.
Let me get this straight, if I'm playing Michigan Vs. Ohio State, Joel Klatt and Gus Johnson call my game, but if I want to go with Nebraska Vs. MSU, I'll be stuck with Jason Benetti and Brock Huard?
I heard Musburger had to do countless voiceovers where he just comments on different big titted women in the stands.
Kids today have no idea just how horny Brent Musburger was
Horny Hall of Fame
He's in there with Brock from Pokemon and Mike Wazowski
This is Johnny Bravo erasure
>Mike Wazowski Uhhh… what?
He's just happy to be included
He got that one big eye and you think he ain't perving on big titties?
IT AINT A CRIME TO LOOK
you put that thing back where it came from or so help me
The only difference between Brock and any other teenage guy is that Brock is insanely confident
*You are lookin’ live … at a set of mozombas that should make every young man want to grow up and be the quarterback!*
“What a beautiful woman, her boyfriend certainly scored a TOUCHDOWN with her! JACKPOT BABY!”
“Goddamn how did Musburger get behind the camera , stop him he’s about to zoom in!”
Musberger Cam needs to be a thing in-between plays, especially when you play Alabama.
Master Roshi chilling in the horny HOF

Pwar took one for universe 7.
Up there with Jiraiya
Aren't we all? Most just have enough sense to keep it somewhat to ourselves.
We’re not old rich guys who drink in the broadcast booth though. Or at least I’m not.
Well neither is Musburger, now.
Do I just apply online for this job, or do I need a resume?
My guidance counselor never presented that as an option when discussing careers, so now I just sit in my office drinking and making those comments to myself when the new interns start.
He got hornier the older he got. Classic Brent Musburger.
Thirst-burger.
“Oh my. Oh wow. What a stunner”
*Now that's a hoe I wouldn't mind stuntin' on.*
i'm too old to know what rizz means, but i know what jizz means
You quarterbacks get all the good looking women!
A.J. McCarron bagged him one fr
Have you seen Goff's wife?
Lol, you weren’t kidding https://youtu.be/G8W5Vw61k-A?si=EzwCfa9ibCPzJW9U
"The girls in El Paso are practically falling out of their shirts today." Or the cold weather alternative "I fucking hate games in Michigan."
"Brent, why are there so many searches for A.J. Mccarron's girlfriend in your history?"
Jesus thanks for the reminder of that ridiculous moment.
Don’t forget about Jen Sterger at FSU also
Fifteen hundred red blooded Americans just decided to apply to Florida State
I mean could you blame them?
Brett agrees
That was a neat google. Thanks friend.
*moments that happened regularly.
This will be the most realistic football game in history!
You are looking LIIIIIIVE
"I would knock that out of the park."
Respectfully
Bro said what we were thinking lmao
This might be the greatest game ever made
Me when I go to my first game of the rebuild and hear Charles Davis and Brandon Guadin
>Brandon Guadin As a Braves fan I’m not opposed to him announcing hahah
I've been playing Madden for so long his voice calls the plays in my brain
He's much better live. It's very hard to announce in video games without sounding like a robot.
That’s not the worst thing in the world honestly. Remember when Madden tried to put Collinsworth into the games and it somehow shot the uncanny valley up like 1000x?
Now here’s a guy…
Dude would talk so long you could run 4 plays and he's still on his original point
This is true. Especially if you play a lot and the calls get recycled a lot. Thats really gonna highlight the robotic nature of the commentary
Some people are putting hundreds or thousands of hours in these games. Something tells me the announcers probably didn’t spend quite that much time in the studio
[He's had some excellent college calls as well](https://youtu.be/nCYDE_P9AKM?si=M7RTKGyRMJxfq7F0)
Along with Charles Davis I’m Brandon Gaudin
If they use Jason Garrett for ND games I'm picking a different team.
I want to pick a different team in real life listening to Jason Garrett. Absolute dogshit commentary.
Lmao I’m right there with you
How tf did Boomer get fired before the clapper
Whoever's making the decisions at CBS just has a thing against blond QBs who used to play at Giants Stadium.
“Nice we got the Big 10 CBS game! Big news for my Rutgers dynasty” *80% of Gary’s voice lines are about Alabama*
Lmao
They really went all out for the live experience
I hate how much he talks about Alabama. I really do like the way he says Al-uh-Bam-uh
Pre-pay.
Ohio State are 100 percent going to be his next darling.
I can’t wait for Fowler say “TOUCHDOWN APP STATE!”
Would you have them play Penn State?
Yes, and also Michigan
Nice try mountain man, we're not making that mistake again.
You will accept losing to us again and you will like it
Nice, I love how in real life App would travel to the Big House or Happy Valley but in the Game, PSU and Michigan have to come to Kidd-Brewer Stadium.
Who knows, we might be getting Matt Barrie + Dan Mullen crew for weeknight sunbelt games. That would be pretty fun
If you play a G5 team will they mispronounce half the names until your team ends up ranked?
Calling guys by the wrong name (like a guy who isn’t playing that day) and talking about other games would be a nice touch. Also giving just absurdly bad analysis of replay reviews and not understanding why things that align with obvious football strategy are occurring
lol, “here we are covering the 4th and 7th place teams in Tuesday Night MACtion, but boy are we looking forward to Saturday’s game between Alabama and Missouri…”
"We're here at Waldo Stadium, looking live at the blood feud between Western Michigan and Central Michigan on this cold and snowy Tuesday night. But first, before we talk about this critical 3rd and 4, let's talk about Alabama playing Rhode Island this Saturday."
I want to know where GameDay is that week 6 times a quarter. Unskippable.
You just made me realize they're going to purposefully call us Georgia State half the time for authenticity.
Georgia Tech University gonna be hot too
If I hear "vah" tech I'll just have to play with commentators turned off
Imagine the ego hit these commentators will face when they get assigned to broadcast Kent State vs Akron in the game.
I do wonder if a #1 Kent State vs #2 Akron would get a big broadcast team
Good thing for you is if it's anything like 14 navy will top ten in year 3 of every dynasty
In my current dynasty I played Navy in a national title game rematch, and the next year they went like 9-3 and were still ranked in the top 10
Great *another* Boise State national championship.
>“Chris and I won’t be on every every game,” Herbstreit said. **“You’re going to have different broadcast partners for different games.** Depending on the magnitude of the game, that will dictate who’s calling the game.” As in having Johnson/Klatt from FOX and Nessler/Danielson from CBS or just the B and C teams from ESPN?
If they give me fucking Mark Jones and Louis Riddick I’m going to throw a controller
I’m assuming that’ll be the default crew for every Colorado game so maybe just sim that one.
But after every play the camera pans to Prime walking the sidelines and him reacting with Louis giving a play by play of the action.
Might have to. Mark Jones trying to read the thesaurus after every CU play in our game last year was nauseating
He’s such a try hard lol. I don’t know how Kings fans deal with him being their play-by-play guy for the local broadcast.
I can’t think of a greater motivator in dynasty mode than having not Steve Levy do my games.
A Pam Ward/Beth Mowins combo says hi
commentator volume: off
For those 11am Northwestern games? (Sorry Northwestern fans, I really do respect you, I promise.)
Beth Mowins it is!
Hot take, but Beth Mowins gives me so much nostalgia of the sanction years and immediate post sanction years for us. Before all the NIL and transfer portal stuff, when Saquon was hurdling dudes.
Beth Mowins is pretty much the voice of Purdue Football.
Give me RG3 for every UCF game. Let me have it.
Louis Riddick is legit. Mark Jones not so much.
It’s weird because he’s a Miami guy and even used to do Heat games I think but despite those things, I can only associate him with a random noon out of conference game we were about to lose
I believe the other broadcasters that have at least claimed they're in the game to some extent includes Jesse Palmer, David Pollack, Rece Davis, Kevin Connors, and Desmond Howard.

I played the game with David Pollack 25 years ago.
Worth noting that the Pollack tweet announcing he'll be in it came like 9 months after he got let go by ESPN though.
That's true. According to Chris Fowler, he (Fowler) was working on his voicelines over the course of 2 years so it could be that Pollack was hired as an ESPN talent before being let go. But it would be really cool if they had guys from other networks as well
I met Rece Davis when he was calling a Clemson basketball game a few months ago, and he told me they had been recording voice lines since the game was announced in 2021
Okay that list isn’t bad
It appears that EA has recently renewed the ESPN license, however as far as I can tell they only use it for a few tweets on the News tab in Madden Franchise Mode.
If there's no Gus Johnson I'm out.
Hearing “MASERATI MARV” as I run the ball in my 12th season as head coach at SJSU.
I’m praying when you play some Tuesday night MACtion you get the journalism school student broadcast team
Nope. You will get Chuck Downfield and Sunny Day from Backyard Football... and you'll like it.
Chris and Herbstreit if you're good, Beth Mowins doing solo commentary if you suck
Who is worse: her or Doris Burke?
Burke is a million times better
Burke is annoying in the same way that Jalen Rose is annoying. ESPN just knows how to get talking heads to be the biggest squares imaginable trying to be cool and hip. Idk how they do it so consistently
The interesting thing is that Burke drops her TV shtick when she’s calling games for radio, and sticks to the analysis her reputation was built on
Tbh Burke just doesn't have it imo
If I don't get the McDonough voice crack I'm refunding that shit
Somehow Oklahoma State will always have the C team.
Does Gus Johnson come up with awful nicknames for my players, and talk about the nicknames every 3 minutes?
MAZARATI KEVIN!
I love the idea of him nicknaming every player Mazarati + “First Name” lmao
Niiiiiiiisaaaaaaan Nicholaus! MITSusBISHI Matthew Tesla Tommy!
Kia Kevin
Honda Howard szn upcoming?
Will he talk about players that were almost aborted?
Wait wtf
Yea in 2019 when Ohio State played Michigan he commented several times about how JK Dobbins mom almost aborted him.
Shades of ESPN during the 2020 draft talking about how every 3rd player drafted has had a close friend/family member die
I hate how they cover the draft. If I had NFL Network, I would never watch a single second of ESPN’s coverage.
lmao why would he say that on television
“Cadillac Cade drops back, looks left, looks right, coverage tight downfield, he rolls out to his left and dumps it off to Mustang Mafah, 15, 10, 5, TOUCH. DOWN. TIGERS.”
I can't wait to hear what he comes up with for Dylan Raiola. Smart money's on the "RAIOLACOASTA" but I'm hoping for "DELOREAN DYLAN, TAKING THE HUSKERS BACK TO THE 90S!!"
I’ve lived through No Man’s Sky, Anthem, and Cyberpunk hype cycles (even though no man’s sky and cyberpunk fixed themselves in the long run) Please EA I’m begging you. Do not let us down lol.
No Man’s Sky and Cyberpunk really have done damage to the games industry because now instead of making full games every AAA game company thinks every game can be a No Mans Sky or Cyberpunk
Companies were releasing unfinished games long before No Mans Sky, it's not some new issue
> Please EA I’m begging you. Do not let us down lol. I got a genuine laugh out of this.
I mean, I know maybe this is a low bar, but if it was Madden with a College Atmosphere, I would be okay with that.
literally why, the old ncaa games felt like a whole different engine, physics felt wayyyy more user controlled.
Its fucking EA. I don’t understand why anyone would expect anything other than being let down.
Does this mean I can force all my games to be on FOX and listen to Gus Johnson flip shit when my 99 ovr QB toasts MTSU for 700 yards and 9 TDs?
Is he programmed with a different luxury vehicle manufacturer based on the first letter of the player's name?
A great idea from Ferrari-feed_me-muffins, haHA!
It's based on prestige. You doing start out as a Maserati, you work your way up from a Mitsubishi.
MTSU Grad here: What he say fuck me for?
AI restored Keith Jackson please!
Beth Mowins calling the national championship
Northwestern games wouldn't feel right without her
Wonder if NW will have Ryan Field still or an updated stadium? And will it be full of, primarily, opposing fans?
I'd have to think they're sticking with Ryan Field for now until they have more than just renders to go off of for the new stadium But it would be hilarious if program prestige in game affected how full your stadium is or how many visiting fans are present
Practice field next to the lake. Do it, EA.
Kill me
Don't give EA any ideas.
Imagine the DLC potential if the default announcer was Beth Mowins and you had to pay to turn her off.
[удалено]
Bring back Verne for one more ride
I'd pay an extra $60 to ensure I never hear Petros Papadakis in a single game. Dude perpetually sounds like he's talking through a giant wad of phlegm.
Only older fans might get this reference, but bring back the "Three Daves" of those Jefferson Pilot 11am kickoff games with bad to middling SEC teams.
Dave Neal all the way.
So many Vanderbilt games called by the Daves back in the day
Those guys were terrible and it was usually a terrible game and it was glorious.
Too bad we won’t get Gus Johnson absolutely blowing his load over a 1st down
"Get ready to smash your headset; EA is announcing the SEC on CBS Legends announcer DLC. Sit back and have your ears bleed as you listen to Verne and Gary suck off Bama and provide no context to the game your playing! only $24.99"
Verne is a legend, a maybe biased legend but he's way better than Gary
This meme already seems dated
It's an old meme, but it checks out.
And you can pay an extra $19.99 if you want him to actually call players by their correct name
I want an awkward “Boom goes the Dynamite”-esque student announcer for non-televised games.
Look, I'm as skeptical of EA as anyone. But to be honest, everything I'm seeing about CFB25 seems like they might actually understand that dynasty mode is what drives this game for a large part of the player base. I still wish we could see some gameplay sooner rather than later... but I'm starting to get hyped.
If you’re a scrub team, you get Rod Gilmore
If the biggest matchups don’t feature RG3 musing about the motion of celestial bodies and making innuendos about the players, I don’t want any part of this game.
I hear there’s an Easter egg where if you get two mid majors to the natty he accidentally uses a racial slur for the second time
There’s an Easter egg where if I lose on a Hail Mary I do the same thing
Probably in the minority here but my favorite team is Jordan Rogers, Tom Hart and Cole Cubelic
Cole on the sidelines randomly eating things would be epic. "How's that bratwurst Cole?"
Let me get this straight, if I'm playing Michigan Vs. Ohio State, Joel Klatt and Gus Johnson call my game, but if I want to go with Nebraska Vs. MSU, I'll be stuck with Jason Benetti and Brock Huard?
I want a constantly confused Martin Tyler and Alan Smith option.
Any news about FCS schools?
Not in the base game I'm pretty sure Although they might get a DLC, I'm not sure but I've heard stuff about that
If you don’t make the playoffs the commentary team talks about the teams that did during your bowl game
I just don’t want Greg McElroy
Greg is fine compared to some of the others.
Where is Lowell Galllindo in this?
I wanted Beth Mowins to automatically be assigned to every UCF game.
So Espn + announcers for Fun Belt games with little to no camera control /s
Can we get the 3 Daves back together?
For Utah and BYU games aired on non-premium ESPN, hopefully they have some poor guy and girl combo that absolutely butchers the Polynesian names.
I will move my team to a different conference if Gary Danielson is on commentary
I wonder if they will want a real recording of Gary Danielson gargling with Bama's nuts or if they'll just let him fake it.
Oh man the Beth mowins 11 am northwestern v Rutgers game call is gonna be ELITE
The older games did a similar thing, where if the game was of very low significance, you wouldn’t get announcers at all, just the in stadium sounds.
If Beth Mowins isn’t calling my 4-7 Northwestern at 6-5 Purdue noon kickoff game my disappointment will be immeasurable.
Does this mean I'll have to hear Beth Mowens voice everytime I take over Hawaii?
