That’s right you heard me correctly. Broadcast Integration. For those of you don’t know what that means, allow me explain.
For this year’s version of NCAA Basketball (or known more widely as March Madness) there will be not be just one, but two broadcast teams. Two for the price of one! That’s called a bargain my friends.
Now it’s not like EA skimped out on the trimmings here either. You are getting quality broadcasters in your interactive experience. You don’t just get the turkey, you get stuffing, gravy, and some sweet potato pie to go along with it.
ESPN remains as one of the commentary options that will be frequented by players. For those of you familiar with playing the NCAA Football series, you will recognize the man calling the plays as Brad Nessler, who also provides play by play with the quarterback Kirk Herbstreit, and the Coach Lee Corso. (Yo!) Color commentary is provided by the man, the myth, the mouth, Dick Vitale (It’s awesome baby!) Check out the trailer for the ESPN Presentation below:
Along with ESPN, CBS will be joining the commentary fray with their team of Bill Raftery as the color man, and in this humble viewer’s opinion, the most exciting play by play guy in the business, Gus Johnson. If you haven’t heard of Gus Johnson, shame on you. Look him up, and watch a football or basketball game with him at the helm. He makes watching games involving bad teams completely enthralling with just with his voice, and I think this is a phenomenal addition to this series that will help take it to the next level. Trailer below:
As you can see, both presentations of the respective networks are pretty spot if you follow NCAA Basketball on television. Perhaps this is just the beginning of future sports games having duel commentaries? We’ll see…
