More Commentary DLC

O.K., I'll just get straight tot he point. So in yesterdays xbox update I noticed some new content for Fifa. And Fifa is certainly on to something! Fifa has for download, 11 new language commentary packs, and even bonus english commentary. They have included 11 new languages with authentic broadcasters from each of their respective countries. And a bonus english commentary pack with the option of having 2 new commentators or just bonus commentary form the announcers in the game. My question is, why can't live do this? I mean the guys in Vancouver can collab with the Fifa guys to come out with something really great. the only thing EA games have in common are the espn radio updates, and team play. This would open the door so much! The best thing too is that the updates are all free! So let's say you don't like Marv Albert. Fine. You can download Mike Breen or Kevin Harlan or Dick Stockton. Plus they could add a third wheel tot he commentary team. David Aldridge, Craig Sager etc. What do you guys think about this? I would love to see this happen!

Re: More Commentary DLC

Well personally I don't care too much for the language overall.

But to have extended dialogue added to what is already in the game would nice. So the commentary won't seem so repetitive!

That would be better!

Yea, different languages aren't necessary, but more english commentary would be nice!

Re: More Commentary DLC

I would love to see a language pack in Swahili. Would make this game an instant classic for me.

Re: More Commentary DLC

There's a reason why Fifa is one of EA's best sports games (along with NHL) while the NBA Live franchise is still a work in progress (improving, but still not there)

I'd rather EA concentrate and improve Live's engine, player ratings, animations (choppy and lack thereof), correct issues like lack of fastbreaks and other noticeable gliches/bugs and then implement the DNA "Made Incorrect Daily" rosters.

Memo to the NBA Live crew......Substance BEFORE style!

Re: More Commentary DLC

FIFA ships all those languages in their territories, so they have all that content ready to go. The DLC is really just allowing anyone in any territory to download a language of choice.

In terms of the English pack you can buy, the Euro and World Cup FIFA titles have different announcers. So basically you can pay to hear the Euro announcers in FIFA.

It's definitely cool to have the extra content to download, but having multiple announcing teams in NBA is very difficult. Paying for multiple sets of announcers, recording all the speech, and implementing it in the game would be bananas!

Re: More Commentary DLC

For 2010 you guys should add a sideline reporter...Maybe Craig Sager...He is a great choice...And he already works with Marv Albert...So the chemistry would already be there...Also add injuries...Sorry for going into a wish list...Just some ideas...
