How good is theCommentary?

[fungusking]

I always get sick of the abysmal commentary after a day or two so set it to Spanish or Italian instead, always a laugh to hear the Spanish ones shout GOL GOL GOL GOL GOL!!!

I think mark Lawrenson is quite possibly one of the worst commentators/pundts ever to walk the earth. So hats off to him!

surprised they didn't get the champions league team but since they have av association with setanta it makes sense to have those numptys. Commentary is something i don't even notice unless they come out with there one line wonders.

Out of the 4 commentators PES has had (well since PES4), I think Champion and Brooking would be the best pairing. Lawrenson just can't "act" like he's at a match when reading his lines whereas the other 3 could do that much at least. He sounds like a 5 year old reading a story out loud to his classroom at school.

Before PES2008 came out, I installed FIFA 2000 which also had Lawrenson on commentary duty and he was terrible on that too. Can remember Chris Waddle on another FIFA game (99?) and he was worse if anything. The last real footy game I played for more than a week before Pro Evo was Actua Soccer 2 and that had Barry Davies and Trevor Brooking and I though they were quite good on that (I am going back a while though ).

Spot on.

I still believe that the commentary in Actua Soccer 2 is the best piece of scripted football commentary I have ever heard in a computer game.

It was just immense. I thought that both Barry Davies and Trevor Brooking performed their lines extremely well in Actua Soccer 2.

It's just a shame that both KCET and EA don't seem to be able to do something similar.
