Brondbyfan said:The commentary is the least of the problems. Commentary in a video game is by its very nature limited and thus is bound to get boring and repetitive. As far as I'm concerned, the only commentary changes that should be included are team names ("The score of course Bolton 4 Blackburn 0"), more player names (no commentary for either Ronaldo? WTF?!), and the ability to assign commentary names to people. In my career mode a guy named Trezeguet replaced Pires, and I have both him and David Trezeguet on my team. Yet only David has a commentary name. Additionally, there's no reason that Motson says Simon Davies' name but not Kevin Davies, we should be able to edit that in a player editor mode.

I watch Fox Sports en Espanol. They have Copa Libertadores (Biggest S. American Cup). Anyway, they have a couple of Argentinean commentators that are absolutely amazing. They always did the Argentinean club games, except that last year they decided to put 2 other guys who also did the Argentinean club games (2 from I don’t know where). Let me tell you, I find it hard to feel the same passion with those other guys.
In brief, good commentators can make it or break it (when talking about game atmosphere). And in a Soccer SIM, atmosphere should be a huge part of the experience.
P.S.: The 2 commentators from Spain really suck… too European for my taste…
