Pozdrav, The only English audio commentary available - NOW Audio_Commentary_Patch_FM2012_v1_0 BY MBARBARIC Update 25.01.2013 reupload of file so anyone interested can use it with FM13 [media=youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZjTpXEqu9A&feature=youtu.be[/media] [media=youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWQjR-38ADw&feature=youtu.be[/media] I remember maybe 5 years ago there was a patch somewhat like this that allowed audio commentary for FM and I enjoyed it despite being quite buggy. Ever since then I was waiting for SI to do this properly but to no avail. Although a lot of people play this game on full speed and with music on just rushing thru the matches I know there are a lots of us asking for this feature over and over. Well, here it is. I won't forget the look in the eyes of my friend when we started up the game first time and commentary appeared. After CM2, FM finally has a word to describe events on the pitch and it is working quite well. FEATURES While your out of the box FM has around 80 sound files with crowd reactions and referee's whistle sounds, this audio commentary patch has around 4200 lines of audio commentary that describes various situations in game. Around 80 per cent of 1062 events that can occure during the game have their own line, to be more precise, between 3 and 50 audio commentary lines that describe them. Anything from sending off, substitution, hat trick, injury, pleas for penalties, all of them will be mentioned. Commentators will notice when your opposition will pull back to play more defensively or push up to tear you appart if they are losing in last minutes. They will notice when somebody has a good game or a poor one and they will point out things that often go unnoticed in that text commentary on the bottom of the screen. Is it perfect? Of course not, but it is much better than you would expect it to be. Nevertheless it has problems. Due to limitations in the game, commentaries do overlap more than I would like it. But, it is inevitable as SI would have to recode the game to prevent one commentary popping up over another to stop this. I firmly believe it is doable just it is question of SI's willingness to do it. OK, So download the file from here and try it for yourself. DOWNLAD AT: https://hotfile.com/...._v1_0.rar.html INSTALLATION It seems like a lot of work but it will take you around five minutes, four of them being the file copying Basicaly, you need to put downloaded files into appropriate folders within data folder in your steam file and in the LATEST update (staeam\steamapps\common\football manager 2012\data\updates\...) folder as well.

IT IS COMPATIBLE WITH OLD SAVE GAMES iF YOU ENCOUNTER ANY LOSE STRING(s), A WARNING FROM FM WILL POP UP, HIT CTRL + ENTER AND YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO CONTINUE THE GAME NORMALLY. I DON'T EXPECT A LOT OF THIS, IF AT ALL, BUT I WASN'T ABLE TO TEST THE GAME ON ALL POSSIBLE EVENTS SO IT CAN HAPPEN. NOW YOU KNOW HOW TO SOLVE IT. ADDITIONlLY, YOU CAN WRITE DOWN THE LOSE STRING AND POST IT HERE SO I CAN REPAIR IT. ANY (TEXT)COMMENTARY PATCH IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THIS SOUND COMMENTARY PATCH NOR ARE THE CHANTS PACKS. CHANTS PACKS SHOULD BE FAIRLY EASY TO COMBINE WITH THIS PATCH BUT I DIDN'T BOTHER WITH IT AT THE TIME. IF YOU WANT TO USE, REUSE OR MOD THIS FILES IN ANY WAY PLEASE DO SO, JUST NOTE ME AS A CREATOR OF ORIGINAL
