New commentator revealed!

[The Liverpool Way]

PES fans who have been calling for a Mark Lawrenson-free game rejoice... The once-mustachioed pundit won't appear in PES 2011, CVG has learnt.

Although previous PES commentator Jon Champion has been retained for the new title, Lawrenson has been replaced by ITV man Jim Beglin.

Some PES players have criticised Lawrenson in the past for sounding disinterested during play.

"We're keeping Jon Champion," European PES team leader Jon Murphy told CVG. "Lawrenson's delivery was a little forced at times. But that was partly him not living it in the studio and partly the way our scripts were written. Neither helped the other.

With Jon Champion we've always had someone who's better at ad libbing. We've not only changed one member of the commentary team - which I hope people will be really pleased about - but we've gone for a much more live effect with the sound generally.

"We've changed the scripts, the studios we use etc. So we have done a certain amount. I think we've done enough to improve the atmosphere. In addition, the menu screens are a lot less 'Japanese-y'; a lot less clunky than they have been in the past.

I got this info from this: http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=249073

So, what's your thoughts on the new commentator?

I think the new partnership will work well

Anything is better than Mark Lawrensons commentary

I'm pleased Lawro is out... but Beglin? Poor choice. Looks like FIFA will still have the upper hand in this aspect.

I like Beglins commentary. That's the only reason I made this thread, if it was anyone else I wouldn't have bothered lol :w00t

But yeah, I think FIFA will still have the upper hand in commentary.
Even though I hate Andy Gray :huh: I must admit his commentary is good :ninja:

 

[shankly is god]

I think this is a very good step, its gona have a champions league feel about it this year with the two commentators, Fifa have always had good commentary partly because the script is alot bigger with facts etc but also because of the freedom now introduced since fifa 10! the bigger script is gone and they comment live on games that EA produce in front of them!

I heard that over 600 games where commented on to get the intricate level for fifa 10

Calls himself a keeper? He couldn't keep bees.

:laugh: What a stoomer that is!

I actually don't mind Lawro. The commentary is poor because Konami hand them a script wrote by a couple of invalids of smack.

Always turn the sound down and listen to music why playing!

Thats what i think of the commentry!

I am a kinda new convert to PES with PES2010 being my first taste... (FIFA was all I played prior to seeing the light) and I would actually say PES commentators are better then FIFA's... I love in PES when they mention player stats in Master League games like how many goals my striker has scored in the past 4 games or the fact that if he scores one more he will be the top goal score for the league... or even when they mention the formation at the start of the game and how it relates to last weeks results... This is way ahead of FIFA. I know PES can sound a little clunky at times but I still reckon it feels more realistic then FIFA.

The commentators talk nonsense! Eg my striker once scored a hat trick in one game, then the next he scored again and the coommentator said he is in fine form, that's two from two now. No it's not it 4 in two!!

maybe he meant two games where you scored in a row, 2 for 2... i dont know

 

[Torres9YNWA]

GREAT news! Seriouly Jim Beglin is a good commentator, a lot better than that fag. But aren't we supposed to be getting gameplay videos? Can someone give me links if i've missed any.

 

[dan80]

I think this is good and i think jim is good, and its always nice to have fresh commentry becuase lawro was just so poor he made jon champion look stupid like hes loud and excited and lawro wishes he wasnt there, and apparently there recorded in a new studio so should be good.

Seems very strange in this era of football gaming but welcome aboard. Do yourself a favour and pick up a copy of PES' 5 & 6. You won't be disappointed.

The commentators are crap on PES.

If you pass the ball and keep possesion for ages, it seems like the commentators have gone for a tea break. They don't say a word!

I think the commentators should talk more - but only if there improved in PES2011.

Jon Champion and Jim Beglin sound like a good combination

 

[Macheda]

Well we can all safely say FIFA beats PES for commentary, maybe Beglin along with a better script can help change that.

 

[shaun7]

^Fifa's commentary was always much better.
I hope we get more scripts because as liverpool way mentioned. When you're in possesion, the commentators won't commentate. That's just annoying.
About the new commentator. I think it will be better but who knows. Here's waiting again.

 

[Jess C]

Anyone remember the good old days of Chris James and Terry Butcher? There was something so wonderfully horrendous about it all.

IMO this means that from his last two strikes he has scored... so the last 2 times your striker had a shot it went in. This would mean the commentary was correct. Obviously I know PES2010 has its issues in this departmenat but after playing FIFA for years & years I find PES surprisingly more on the money with tracking your game and your season in general.

Lets hope 2011 is all class!
