However, the general sentiment is that Tirico and Olsen would do a terrific job with Madden. Plus, this may be the beginning of a future mainstream broadcasting duo.

Mike Tirico and Greg Olsen will be joined by more big names

Mike Tirico and Greg Olsen aren't the only popular commentators to join the Madden franchise. The franchise has announced that Kate Scott and Brock Huard will join the Madden 25 commentary team.

Kate Scott is the Philadelphia 76ers' play-by-play announcer. She worked alongside Mike Golic on Learfield’s college football on Saturday night. Brock Huard is a former NFL quarterback who has been a Fox Sports college football analyst since 2008.

Hence, Madden 25 will feature three announcer teams. According to Madden, "the team will provide the most immersive audio experience in years."
