mrdorf Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Will we ever get that back on an FM game? I never had that version as I didn't have the specs at the time. What was so bad with it, was it just too repetitive? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 It was truly awful, nearly 20 years on & even with the financial might of EA voice commentary in sports games is still appalling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI Staff Ter Posted May 17, 2012 SI Staff Share Posted May 17, 2012 Lots of reasons why it wouldn't really work too well on FM including - Would only be available when watching on a slow speed - Wouldn't be able to use player or team names (too many in DB) - Supporting the 17 or so different languages in the game - Would no doubt cost a fortune Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrdorf Posted May 17, 2012 Author Share Posted May 17, 2012 Just commentate yourself! even better Would be like Fanzone but with lots of swearing. When I first heard about it I was really excited. I was probably better off not getting it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephanie McMahon's Secret Lover Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 You can easily have commentary without any names. You can use "the home team" or "the defender" etc. Not great but doable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erimus1876 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 After 3 games you'll have heard everything. Play 3 more games after that and you'd be bored to tears with it. Thats how long it took me to switch off commentry forever back in my Fifa Manager days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boroboy100 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 The pause that used to occur between the different sound bites loading in was abhorent. I clearly remember hearing....He tries a shot...............(GOAL FLASHES IN THE COMMENTARY BAR)..............................................Goal!! If FM ever went back to this I would stop buying the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryknow Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I think there just needs to be a massive improvement in text commentary. Far more detail on what happens on the pitch from general play to injuries and fouls. Also, the adjustment for the whole "in row Z" comment. I believe you can get commentary packs though, but still think SI should add more to this feature. On topic of audio commentary, I totally agree with Ter's points. Would be a waste of time, memory and money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
