Fifa 07 Commentary File
Hanne Rylaarsdam
Fifa 22 is my first one since Derek Rae took over from Martin Tyler and I just cannot stand the commentary. All his lines sound like he's trying to reach the word count in an essay - instead of 'that's a foul' who would ever said 'he's committed a challenge of an illegal nature'? I thought Martin Tyler and Alan Smith were a really likeable duo and had some really memorable lines but I just find the current commentary so lifeless and sometimes even annoying to the point where I've turned my sound off a few times in the middle of games
Edit: I think one of the main issues is that there's nowhere near the amount of lines as previous games so you end up hearing the annoying commentary over and over which is esp grating when you're losing
For a sports video game to truly thrive, several factors need to come together. Gameplay and graphics tend to take center stage, but a factor that's often overlooked but can seriously enhance or hinder a game's effectiveness is the commentators. Early video games were almost notable for their repetitive announcers ("HE'S ON FIRE!"), but as time has passed the standard has changed. To get a little more insight into how modern video games integrate commentary, I spoke with Sean Ramjagsingh, a producer on NHL 15, which will be released on September 9 and boasts "The most realistic broadcast package in a video game to-date."
I put lines and lines of speech in front of Dick and he started reading the commentary, and I was like, wait a minute, this is not sounding like Dick Vitale at all. So we pondered over how to get Dick to sound more like himself and then we literally just put a video of a Duke-Carolina game in front of him and said, 'Dick, just commentate what you're seeing on the screen.' Within seconds we had Dick Vitale being Dick Vitale. So the commentary has evolved to where now, we literally go in there and we say here are the situations that we want you to commentate on, and you need to envision that. We'll give prompts like, 'best player on the team scores the goal' or 'over the goalie's glove to win the game,' and ask them to give us 10 samples of that.
The Gluteus Maximus (GM) muscle is the largest and most powerful in the human body. It plays an important role in optimal functioning of the human movement system as well as athletic performance. It is however, prone to inhibition and weakness which contributes to chronic pain, injury and athletic under-performance. As such, understanding how to assess and treat GM dysfunction is an important aspect of sports science and medicine, as it has relevance for injury prevention, rehabilitation and performance enhancement. Despite GMs considerable importance there is little research attempting to translate evidence into practice to support practitioners when faced with 'sleepy glutes'. This clinical commentary discusses the importance of GM for athletic performance and injury risk; factors which contribute to GM dysfunction and then provides evidenced informed approaches to assess and treat GM dysfunction. This can be used as part of rehabilitation or injury prevention practices as well as athletic performance training.
