I was watching my kids play FIFA the other day, and I must say I'm impressed with the commentary. It sounds natural and not like names and certain words are "plugged in" anywhere. Do they actually record every sentence or is there some ai system for generating sentences?
I Play FIFA 23 on Steam and since the day I bought it, it doesn't have Commentary, when I open the Menu to change it, it is locked and grayed on ENGLISH, but I'm from Brazil and wanted the Brazilian Commentary (portuguese).
So, after a long time changing every setting, a figure it out, but is just something that I can't fix on my own. FIFA 23, atleast on Steam, allows you to only listen to the narration you downloaded the game with and mine were English. The problem is, Steam allows you to download other language by going on properties of the game and changing it on LANGUAGE SETTING, which I did, but then I realized that BRAZILIAN LANGUAGE don't start any download whatsoever. When I changed back to English, the game download an almost 2GB arquive (EVERYTIME you change the option), but the Brazilian option don't download anything and so I don't have commentary on my game. Tried different languages, such as Italian, and It downloaded normally, and have commentary on the language (english too). It seems that portuguese is the only language with a problem, and there are other players with the same issue. Any fix?
Mine is working as well! But I also found a solution for those who don't. On Documents, EA saves a file named FIFA 23, just like the one inside Steam and Origin, but it have an arquive named "fifasetup.ini", open it on a notepad and on CONFIG_APP_LOCALE you'll change the langue to whatever you want, in my case was "pt-BR", then you come back to Steam and change language to the one you want as well. It worked for me!
I can't hear the announcers when I play FIFA on my TV, but the commentary works fine in handheld mode. I've tried to mess with all the settings on my TVs and in the itself game to no luck. Anybody else have this problem?
The commentary adds the interactive element to the game and provides the user with a feeling of being involved with real-time football. However, after playing the game for hours on loop, you are bound to involuntarily synchronise your lips to some of the most common bits of commentary in the game.
We start off with a very common bit of commentary that is frequently used for the likes of Manuel Neuer, Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Ederson. These goalkeepers like to charge at the attacker and sweep the ball off their feet. They win the 50-50 challenge more often than not and this is when the commentator praises their instinct.
The striker has his shot on target and a superhuman save was the need of the hour to prevent the scoreline from changing. This bit of commentary usually follows a save against a powerful shot, often from the edge of the box.
Audio-descriptive commentary (ADC) is an inclusive service enabling partially sighted and blind spectators to enjoy a live match alongside their fellow supporters. The specially trained commentator provides additional narration that describes all significant visual information such as body language, facial expression, scenery, action, clothing, colours and anything else that is important to conveying the image, venue, match, event or surrounding ambience.
In 2008, Motson announced his retirement from live television commentary. He continued to cover games for Match of the Day highlights and appeared on BBC Radio 5 Live as well as commentating on CBeebies' Footy Pups. In September 2017, he announced his full retirement from BBC commentary, having commentated on 10 FIFA World Cups, 10 UEFA European Championships, and 29 FA Cup finals.[2] In July 2018, he announced he was returning from retirement to work for Talksport.[3]
On 5 February 1972, Motson had what he later described as his big breakthrough, when he was assigned to cover an FA Cup replay between Hereford United and Newcastle United for Match of the Day.[10] Newcastle were expected to win easily, but Hereford won in a huge upset.[11][12][13] Motson's commentary when Ronnie Radford scored the equalising goal was "Oh what a goal! Radford the scorer. Ronnie Radford! And the crowd are invading the pitch. What a tremendous shot by Ronnie Radford." Motson later described this match as the story of the season. His commentary caused BBC executives to assign him higher-profile TV matches, and he subsequently signed a three-year contract with the broadcaster.[10]
The BBC lost the rights to cover live FA Cup football in 2008[22] to Setanta Sports and ITV. Motson attempted to join Setanta, but the BBC refused permission, so he retired from live television commentary. His last live television broadcast was the Euro 2008 final. He continued to cover pre-recorded games for Match of the Day highlights.[23]
Motson covered a total of 10 FIFA World Cups, beginning with the 1978 tournament.[16][24] One of Motson's memorable World Cup moments came in 1998, when Ronaldo was omitted from the official teamsheet presented to FIFA 72 minutes before the final, only to be later reinstated in a modified teamsheet. Motson described the scenes in Paris as "absolute mayhem and chaos".[25][26] His final World Cup was in 2010, when he travelled to South Africa as part of the BBC team and appeared as a studio guest on the Match of the Day highlights show, as well as providing reports on the BBC website.[27] Beginning in 2015, Motson provided commentary and narration for the CBeebies football programme Footy Pups.[28] He also covered 10 UEFA European Championships and a total of more than 200 England national team games.[16]
In September 2017, Motson announced that he would retire from the BBC at the end of the football season.[32] His last live radio commentary was on a match between Arsenal and Watford on 11 March 2018.[8] His final pre-recorded TV commentary was a match between Crystal Palace and West Bromwich Albion and was broadcast on Match of the Day on 13 May 2018.[33]
I'm the kind of FIFA player who plays without the sound on at all, so I never normally hear the commentary. But on occasion when I have the sound turned on, I have found myself telling Derek Rae and Stewart Robson to do one when they discuss my poor performance.
Unfortunately, I'm not sure it works particularly well. I played a FIFA Ultimate Team Division Rivals match this morning with critical commentary disabled, and Robson still tore into my finishing and had some choice words for poor Mason Mount. Check out the commentary in the gameplay clip below:
Previous research into sporting events and broadcast commentary have been consistent in showing that there are clear differences in prevalence of commentary topics when a commentator is describing a male athlete and a female athlete. Among these differences are sexualized and ambivalent language towards female athletes, gender marking, and language that suggests male athlete superiority to that of female athletes. Although sporting events such as the Summer and Winter Olympics and NCAA Men's and Women's Basketball Championship games have repeatedly been sites for exploration, the world's largest single-event sporting competition, the World Cup, remains relatively untouched. Keeping this in mind, using a systematic content analysis, this thesis analyzed the broadcast commentary provided by play-by-play and color commentators in FIFA World Cup and FIFA Women's World Cup final matches to discern whether or not the sex of the athlete competing resulted in a difference in the descriptive evaluations employed by commentators. Findings of this study revealed that there were few differences in the prevalence of descriptive evaluations based on the gender of the athletes competing. Implications of the results and recommendations for future research into broadcast commentary and World Cup final matches are addressed.
Dixon only spent one full game cycle in the co-commentary chair, with former West Ham midfielder Stewart Robson taking his place. Rae stayed in his chair for FIFA 22. The Scot has experience of commentating across Europe, bringing a unique insight into each major league as well as his inch-perfect pronunciation of player names.
However, there is one notable change. Scott will join the commentary team this year, instead of just her role as pitchside reporter. In addition, she will also comment on several of the new cinematic scenes, alongside Rae, that will populate outside the ground before matches.
However, you can now turn commentary off altogether if you want to focus more on the game. Players can instead turn on EA Sports Trax, the in-game soundtrack, which will play during matches. This will mix in with the in-game sounds to still provide an immersive experience.
As well as a brand new name, EA Sports FC 24 brings with it plenty of big changes, one of which sees players treated to two different commentary teams. For just the second time in the franchise's history, the English-language version of the game also features a female commentator, with Sue Smith joining Guy Mowbray for certain classic Kick Off and Ultimate Team matches, the latter of which will also see men teaming up with women in this year's installment.
Unfortunately, however, some players appear to be a little unhappy with the new commentary duo, leading many to wonder whether it's possible to stick with Derek Rae and Stewart Robson. It seems that EA pre-empted this to a certain degree, as the developers chose to include a special option for players who want to disable Sue Smith and Guy Mowbray's commentary in EA Sports FC 24.
