In an interview with Gamezone, EA Audio Director Aubrey Hodges let slip during his discussion on producing sound and sound effects for EA’s games that Madden would be getting new announcers:
I know it’s kind of early in the year but can you give us an idea of what kind of sound changes we can expect from Madden, NHL, FIFA – all the different sports games?
AH: I have to be careful about this. Although I can… We are making a change in the Madden commentators. I can’t mention who they are. We are using some of the biggest names in the business. We listened to the fans and we are making a change. And that will be more than one. It will be a fantastic year for Madden fans, I think they’re gonna be thrilled with this new direction. I don’t think I can say much more than that.
Who do you think should replace John Madden and Al Michaels?
(Thanks, GameZone.)

“Who do you think should replace John Madden and Al Michaels?”
They haven’t been the commentators for YEARS - it’s been the EA Sports Radio Broadcast. Do you even play the games?

NO, REALLY? Having game announcers would still replace Michaels and Madden, because the radio announcer isn’t exactly a color/analysis 2 man team. (rolling eyes)
