From EA SPORTS:
Madden NFL 09 will also feature a network-inspired broadcast presentation. Players will benefit from the authentic football knowledge of an in-booth play-by-play and color commentary team featuring Cris Collinsworth and Tom Hammond. In addition, numerous graphical enhancements have been made, including realistic weather and grass, sleeker player models and exterior stadium views.
Looks like Collinsworth and Hammond are handling all the talking now. After 19 seasons Madden will take some time off. Interesting to me is the fact EA Sports has the license to get ESPN personalities and choose to go after Cris Collinsworth from NBC and HBO as well as Tom Hammond from NBC. Neither one actually does the games on NBC, as Madden and Al Michaels handle that.
“…and that’s what football is all about!”
