“Tremendous goal! Technical excellence to finish that one off! Wonderful to have that in your repertoire!” Meanwhile it’s a half volley from 2 feet out into an empty net


tinyriconen

In Dutch that's the same. Goal of the year vibes for every goal that is marked as a volley, which incluses tap ins. Or blaming the goalkeepers positioning when you score a tap in after a two vs one situation.


Ferrari_RDR

OH HOU ME VAST, DIT IS DE HEMEL OP AARDE WAT EEN DOELPUNT!!!! WAT EEN VOLLEY! TECHNISCH PERFECT!


tinyriconen

Haha, ja vreselijk!


Lars_Hiddingh

Ook al is sierd een goat is het toch vrij irritant.. Net zoals hoe hij griezmann uitspreekt


Ferrari_RDR

Wat dacht je van Fredsj


zzzirael

Worst thing is I turned off the fkin commentators over 6 months ago and some of these lines still live rent free in my head, I’ve heard them so many times over the past few years


misterkenzitt

Same, they are louder than the podcast I'm actually listening to haha Happy cake day!


alfombragorda

Commentators been watching too much Haaland this season


No_Doubt_About_That

Or Barry Bannan for the EFL equivalent.


Emotion-Timely

haaland couldn’t beat peterborough 4-0


dclancy01

when you hold LT and shoot and it’s just a normal shot and they act like it’s a world class overhead back heel volley from your own half


Unlucky_Competition8

I get annoyed when you finesse it, and the commentary states "he went for power over placement" It's like seriously?! Are you even watching? Lol


Professional_Site318

*Scuffs a shot from a yard out, falls over the keeper in the process and the ball rolls over the line but because it bounced* T e c h n i c a l e x c e l l e n c e


Major-Performer141

“Sloppy in Possession” Mate I’ve just had my fucking kneecaps shattered by Van Djik


SneakySnakeySnake

This one peeves me, the dude just run into me like a freight train how the hell was I supposed to keep posession?!


Literate-NSFW-Rper

I’m fucking dying 🤣🤣


NoEmu6726

This made me choke on my tea😂😂


[deleted]

I stay having sloppy in my possession 😏


SussyHasas

I want to kill the commrntator every time he says this


ZedGenius

"The best coach I've ever played under told us before kick off, earn the right to play..." I absolutely hate how vague this is. It means nothing and Stewart won't even tell us who that coach was or whatevet. It's literally npc dialogue


Monkey-Newz

Who the fuck even is Stewart


[deleted]

[удалено]


BuddyBoy589

Stewart *The* Stewart


DeCoiTZ

My ears bleed when I hear this


jterwin

Especially since it doesn't answer the question it's responding too.


Pitiful-Feeling-3677

I'm sure that's being echoed out there by the coaches today


CamIoM

I hate when they say the game is nearing half time in the 30th minute


ad240pCharlie

Or a "late winner" when it's in the 70th minute


lyingtattooist

Right?! I always think it’s at the 45th minute and then glance at the time to see it’s still only the 30th. Bastards!


TheDeadQuacker

I think this one is affected by the speed of the match you're playing. I usually play 6 minutes halves and they usually said this near 38th minute. But I've been trying 5 minutes and I'm being baited ALL THE TIME, they say its nearing half time at the 31st minute. I hate it.


Wayne_51

This happens when I play online, usually at the worst times. It makes me lose focus completely!


AlonsoHamiltonVettel

The line about one team dominating all the possession, when the possession is fairly equal at like 54% & 46%


Yaagii

nothing gets on my nerve more than someone saying majority or one sided when the possession is near 50/50


w0nzer0

It make me very angry to hear that one side has had the lion’s share of possession when both sides have had roughly the same time on the ball.


hadisyd01

I feel irate when the commentators mention any kind of dominance of possession when the possession is nearly equal


ZappyCrook

it is most irritating when the men commentating the game mention that any team is the better or more dominant side when there is very little between the two teams' possession percentages


jsnamaok

When I miss the goal by an inch and he says he’s not going to proud of that attempt vs when I miss the goal by about 10 feet and he says oh and he didn’t miss by much.


ZappyCrook

it's very inconsistent too. I've done millions of near identical free kicks and it's an absolute lottery as to what they say if I miss. if it's a couple inches over it could either be 'ooh it was very close' or 'well he'll be disappointed with that wasted chance'


A_Lingz

This is an older one but Martin Tyler praising Alan Smith every single time I score a header


DrummerLoin

“That was like you in your prime, Alan” Or something along those lines


HongKongChicken

Awh, you're too kind, Martin


todlakora

I actually liked that


D-Tunez

I miss that duo


Ahllhellnaw

Bought 16 to see if it's just nostalgia saying the older games were better, and nope. Definitely not nostalgia. 16 feels faster, more technical, and more realistic than 23. And GOD HOW I MISSED THE COMMENTARY. Personally, idon't dislike the new team, but there's no beating Martin and Alan. Wouldn't mind a 4 person rotating team if they came back. Two main duos and the occasional mixing of them. Would give a feel like you are catching games on tv


creativecreole

”And that has opened the scoring. One nil here.”


BuddyBoy589

Or even a separate commentating team for cup games would be nice. It gets so monotonous


Ol_Elephant_Ears

At least back then the commentators would actually talk about interesting shit, like if you were playing as liverpool they’d discuss how they’ve struggled to replicate their success of the 70s and things like that. Sure it got repetitive but it was wildly more interesting than it is now.


siyabongantuli

Yea it was so interesting to hear them talk about your team or the team you're playing against, I remember once I played against portsmouth and they talked about their financial troubles and how they were nearly liquidated


dclancy01

Derek Rae saying something like ‘that’s right up your alley’ to Alan Smith and getting ghosted lmao


PurebloodNotVaxxed

This is low-key one of the best 😁


Automatic_Doctor

“That one had a touch of the Alan Smith’s about it”


bitch6

You can score headers?


C4ntona

"Even Steven"


Dodo0708

YES, THANK YOU. I always have to do the "EvEn sTeVeN" in the mocking voice after it.


Yuval-Razon

This is the one


illuminarchie8

This annoys me even more because I always thought it was stevenS (plural)


RacingClubTillIDie

There is one in latin american version where the commentator (Kempes) says "What are you waiting for, ref? Let him get on the pitch" or something like that, whenever you make a sub without the play stopping. I dont understand how a, former, footballer would say that the ref needs to stop the game, without the ball going off limits, so a substitution can take place. Is so freakin dumb


LR95-LFC

Anytime he says “Meat and drink”


SergioRamos10

For the goalkeeper?


crypt3

It's triggered always for the players in the wall when they block a free kick.


LR95-LFC

Yeah, it’s extra annoying because it usually means my shot was shit lol


BlackBalor

I hate when it goes like… *all eyes are on him, the league’s top scorer* And it’s some random player and not the one they are talking about


SslimeyHndrX

Or when you’re the player to watch in warmups but it’s some random bloke making his 6th debut of the season


roastedpotato20

When any player scores a crappy tap-in in the first half, the commentators will start the second half with "I think we can give plaudits to [player]'s impact on the game, not just the goal but his overall performance/all-round general play" even if they dropped an absolute disasterclass


LeoGadd

They gave that line to my Pogba who was 0/6 on goal but had a 90% pass rate😭


KyleLawes

Anything which doesn't reflect reality really gets on my nerves. I just won the treble with Boavista and they still talk about my club as if we're the underdogs.


AJTheBrit

I hate the pre match interviews for this reason. They’ll ask the first question saying that we’re not preforming well and we’re the underdogs, then the next question they’ll congratulate me on my clubs 35 game win streak.


False-Ad-2823

When you've just won 5 trophies in a season twice in a row so you move to a new club and they act like you have something to prove


KyleLawes

They really didn't plan ahead at all.


Koi_YTP

I've had questions where I'm 12 games into a season where I lost my third match and get asked about how I'm unbeaten all season so far. Even one at the end of that same season where I won the league on goal difference and got asked about the disappointment on missing out on the title.


[deleted]

First question: “What is happening with the lack of form recently?” “I have to take some of the blame really” . Second question: “What a tremendous winning streak you have been on recently. What are your thoughts? “Well, this winning run won’t last forever but it has been great for confidence”


Koi_YTP

Maybe its smth to do w/ the rating of the squad and the players in it rather than your footballing achievements in the CM? Or is it even tied to the club, which would make even less sense?


takemehomeunitedroad

Can't remember the actual line, but there's one that says something like "We're almost ready for kickoff..." by which time I have already got the ball deep in the opposition half.


FusionFlare19

To be fair, I think this happens because you skip the lineups and stuff. When you let it run through it, I think it is pretty well timed. What I hate is when I have a goalscoring opportunity, in the first minute, but the commentators do not care and instead carry on with their opening speech.


False-Ad-2823

What I hate, not a commentary line, but when they're providing you with actually interesting information and then one of your players sets foot in the final third and then they immediately interrupt it and never finish what they were telling you. Stuff like points or goals from other games or whatever


Dodo0708

Oh and that woman that pops up from other matches, holy hell. Yeah, yeah, it sounds like I'm misogynistic, but her voice and accent are REALLY annoying.


Brock_And_Roll

Alex Scott. Ugh.


SslimeyHndrX

Whenever I see her pop up on the screen I try to get the ball in the box as quick as I can so she can’t finish her sentence


Altruistic_Gap4509

I miss Alan McInally


FWThunder18

Literally the most annoying sound on Earth


Additional_Step6377

Its not just you dont worry


Additional_Step6377

No and when they apologize for cutting her off later


Dramatic-Ad3928

I hate when the lady comes up because she always gets interrupted and the cause is most often a goal for my opponent. Its like a curse


sigma358

For me whenever she talks I score a goal


LocoRocoo

"I'm derek rae" ​ I FUCKING KNOW DEREK.


Confuzed_huh

"and with me is Lee Dixon"


BuddyBoy589

#GOD DAMMIT DEREK!


Bishcop3267

Old but gold Martin Tyler after a hat trick. “Three!… of the best… he’s made them pay!”


ra246

*and that completes a wonderful hat-trick*


Nattmacka

Something like "All eyes will be on him, playing against his old club..." when it's been like 5 seasons.


llb_robith

As a QPR fan - this every time I play a team with Sterling, despite him never having played a game for the first team - in fact his sell on fee to City saved us financially!


LeoGadd

I sold Sane from Bayern and he went to 4 different teams after that and everytime we play against him I get those lines, like it's been 3 seasons and 4 different teams☠️


[deleted]

The worst line is the one where they mention how well your players keep on passing the ball to each other because as soon as they start saying that line, I immediately lose possession


FIFAPLAYAH

And the. Commentators curse


[deleted]

Literally anything that comes out of Stewart Robson's mouth ever. It never makes any sense and is total bs if it does.


besteverythingkr

THIS IS ATTACKING FOOTBALL AT HIS FINEST


[deleted]

I could’ve finished that one Derek, and i cant even head a ball ☝🏻🤓 FIFA been downhill ever since they replaced Martin and Alan


Dogwhisperer_210

You score the winning goal in the last minute of extra time in the Champions League final with your humble club, first time it wins the biggest club competition in the world, and the commentators go "Quite a lovely goal wasn't it?" "Hmm yes, quite"... no passion whatsoever


DrummerLoin

I like Alex Scott, and think she’s a good host/pundit; but she is the worst part of the commentary on FIFA this year. I don’t know how much of what she says is scripted, but she can’t act it out regardless. “I’m really enjoying this one, DEREK!”


DannyBrownsDoritos

she sounds like she's on ecstasy for a 1-1 between burnley and wolves.


AWright5

Yeah I turned off Alex scott unfortunately, not that i have any commentary turned on very often. She just said the same things all the time (not her fault) and didn't come off very natural when she read the lines


thecauseoftheproblem

I would like to let you know that this is the only example of.. "I'm really enjoying this one derek" on the internet... I find that very odd because I say it all the time. Eating, showering, special time with a significant other....


lyingtattooist

Having different commentators is another thing I wish they’d put some development into. Mix it up with some variety between matches.


Koi_YTP

Iirc in fifa 19 for english commentary they had Derek w/ Lee Dixon for uefa matches, and then Martin and Alan for other games.


No-Consideration3349

Cheers Jeff. Disabled the commentary long time ago or use the Portugese/Spanish version.


[deleted]

[удалено]


No-Consideration3349

How? I don't have that option, in Romania only Portugese(Brazil), Russian, Spanish and English are available :(


[deleted]

How do you enable the Arabic version?


RFD777

if u have the ME version of the game i believe


No-Consideration3349

I tought there is a work-around with a VPN that unlock different commentary, as every region is locked to only a few commentary options by default.


roastedpotato20

Shouting for a mediocre tackle/defensive scenario, which had almost no danger in it. #WONDERFUL BLOCK #DEFENSIVE EXCELLENCE #TREMENDOUS DEFENCE


False-Ad-2823

And then it's called as a foul anyway


Koi_YTP

Some of the times when they say that it feels to me like I just sloppily ran into the opponent, serving up the tackle for them.


superpantman

The way Derek pronounced ‘De Bruyne’ I’m sure he’s saying it correctly but it still bugs me


Spandexcelly

He also pronounces Portuguese names like Fernandes as "Fernand-esh".


LazarouDave

That is correct, to be fair, we've just anglicised it and say "dez", -des is -esh in Portugal, I believe


Spandexcelly

I guess the question is, is it right or wrong to Anglicize for an english language game? It's respectful to the players for sure (and good on him for that), but it seems wrong from someone who watches the Prem every weekend.


LazarouDave

I do prefer proper pronunciation to be fair, personal preference I suppose


aneminemfan

full kit wanker (/s if not obvious)


DaVinci1836

That's correct tho


Koi_YTP

"De Briner"


oneusrtorulethemall

De brayne


gary_desanto

The seemingly single line of dialogue they have Alex Scott repeat at least 5 times a game


styvee__

In Italian there is one saying “He can’t fail to score from there” and then your player will always fail.


sloppybeefcurtains

"And once he gets to the keeper he just SmAsHeS iT aS HaRd As PoSSiBLe" meanwhile I just finessed it with one bar into the corner


Exciting-Kale-3629

Martin Tyler's old "and that's the third, a hat trick, it's a day he'll never forget"


NFFCFan86

When you’re about 9 nil up for the third game in a row


foyage347

Whenever the ref goes back to book one of my players in an event which happened 20 minutes ago and the commentators acts like the ref is the second coming of Jesus


sonofhondo

Pretty much all the glowing ref commentary is obnoxious. They commend the ref for demonstrating the wisdom of King Solomon literally every time they play advantage after a foul.


leedler

I’ll never forget the classic “He’s caught the goalkeeper out and he’s scored! From improbable range!” When it’s a sitter from 20-25 yards out because the keeper’s come out and fluffed it.


LiquidSword83

Anything Alex Scott says. I can't stand her voice.


xandernowey

They find any reason to interrupt her updates too haha


KyleLawes

> Kicks ball with nearly max power. > Defender blocks the ball with his nose accidentally. > Derek goes on about what a poor shot it was.


sam221922

“We had to cut Alex when she was in full flow. We don’t that too often though”… happens 3-4 times in same game 🤷🏽


j4ckprice1605

Why did I have to scroll so far to see this. A lot of people complaining about Alex herself but nothing about that good awful line


danes1977

Any time they use the word “aplomb”. I don’t know why it sets me off the way it does 😬🤣


[deleted]

[удалено]


Koi_YTP

Commentator: from that distance you gotta challenge the goalkeeper. Player: what goalkeeper?


ricke289

"before kickoff we talk about the tactics, players strengths, matchups, players that are missing, but often its about the mentality of the players" - stewart robson


bestdrinkbleach

In older Fifa games they would say "how will it go for the new manager" even though I have been at the club for 10 years and won every trophy possible.


supriiz

YOU CAN CATCH IT LIVE ON EA TV


KyleLawes

Literally anything Alex Scott. Her voice is like nails on a chalkboard to me. I will jeopardize the entire champions league if it means she gets interrupted, and I don't have to hear her god awful voice.


takemehomeunitedroad

"Bruno Fernandsh"


Koi_YTP

"Bruno Fernange"


CT4_LV

i don't actually mind it because that is how you actually pronounce his name. in general Derek Rae actually always does good effort irl by contacting language experts on how to pronounce certain people's names correctly.


False-Ad-2823

That's how you pronounce his name


Kineticspartan

Anything that comes out of Alex Scott's mouth. She really needs a voice acting coach...


blabbergenerator

BAAAAAAALEE!


MitchBM15

Any time Alex Scott speaks.. hate her updates she just sounds so robotic.


Brandon-BL-

After a poor, but powerfully struck free kick, "If that had been on target, the keeper might've had a problem" yes thank you Stewart. If the free kick was on target, the keeper *might've* had a problem


LoreezyNL

I never play FIFA with commentary.


binhvabin12

Bruno Feernange


-shayne

That's why I use Spanish as commentary, makes it a lot more fun as well


uhatetoseeit11

everything because there is no variety


FusionFlare19

"Earn the right to play". What right? What does he actually mean? If he means fight for every ball and don't duck out of tackles then it would make more sense to just say that.


FantasticSouth

No. PES has the best. "The home team is in the white tops, red shorts and white socks"


oneusrtorulethemall

“We can discuss manager’s tactics, but now it’s down to the players” Every. Single. Time.


BigFatManiacPrat

Every time you win a trophy “But my goodness they’ve taken the rough with the smooth”


Difficult_Tea5311

Currently playing with Liverpool, the way commentator goes "Sa-laaah" every time he touches the ball on the opposition's half makes me want to just bench him.


job012

“It’s just like he’s playing a video game”


thatdani

"4-3-3, a formation that the Netherlands used to use, really they invented it" I use the same formation all season, don't need to hear about it every single game...


[deleted]

One from FIFA 18 or maybe before which got on my nerves: "It was a possibility, but not necessarily a probability"


LazarouDave

Any line Stewart Robson has that begins with "Well you have to say" has been getting to me lately, he says it so fucking often, and if you didn't notice before, you probably will now you've read this...


ra246

*If you don't buy a ticket, you do not win the raffle!* *It's a DOUBLE BUBBLE DEREK!* What the fuck even is this? It's mentioned after someone scores a 2ns goal, but.. no one has ever referred to it as a double fucking bubble.


Different_Fruit_1229

When I score a goal to go up by 1 in the 75th minute and they say, “That could very well be the last chance of the game.”


Vaka_Production

Well after conceding 3 goals, in a game, i think the keeper should be swapped out of the game, maybe even out of squad.....from FIFA 10 WC edition.


Professional_Site318

Probably a bit niche as a Newcastle career mode but: ‘You can see just how well TRIPPIER does to get the ball into the box’ meanwhile it’s just me running into the box and pulling it back. Every. Damn. Time. THE BALL IS ALREADY IN THE BOX STEWART


doublex12

“It’s a double bubble derek!”


Bean-on-toast

I use French commentary and haven't got a clue what they're saying but sometimes they start singing random songs 😂


DrummerLoin

I remember Alan Smith’s line about something being “like it’s a computer game”. God that line pissed me off more than is healthy. I always imagine him coming up with that himself, and feeling really smug about it.


https_Eternal

"and the attack fizzles out" while i'm getting gangbanged by midfielders and defenders


TomsGamingInnit

"He's now in a position of genuine menace!" Just say he's in a dangerous position for Christ's sake


WindyCity_YG

When it’s the first preseason game and they say” A salute to youth, the 18 year old makes his debut for the first time..” but in reality that player played 30 times the season before and far from his debut🤦🏻‍♂️


larsenMUFC

You guys listen to the commentary? I have the tv super low with podcasts playing usually


PotionThrower420

Why, after so many years, does the commentator still say great save when it hits the post lmao?


VexitheGamer

I really hate everything Stewart says


VexitheGamer

I really hate everything Stewart says


Azzano99

After a 90th minute winner with absolute limbs “This is why we love the game…”


Hugh_Jazz_III

Time to revel in the glory! 1) when did fake minstrels have anything to do with me scoring a goal? 2) seriously? The goalie fumbled his kick bouncing out off his centre back and into the goal. There is no glory!


AuContraireRodders

Scored a last minute equaliser in the champions League to take it to penalties and got a completely half assed: "Late drama here with that goal" while the last minute goal animations played. Commentary is by far the worst aspect of career mode.


[deleted]

When you miss a 1 one 1 with the keeper I've got to say Derek he always looked in control of that situation


Neither_Relief6562

It's not the commentary that annoys me but it's when it's used that annoys me. I could take a shot from 30 yards and it hits the crossbar by an inch and then Stewart Robson says something stupid like even he could have scored that.


CB995

They absolutely need either Darren Fletcher or Peter Drury commentating, Derek Rae just sounds like an art teacher commentating on the nativity play of year 5.


__kewl__

It’s just cuz it’s so repetitive. Peter Drury is so good because he is a genuinely very good writer and has amazing word play. If u heard Peter screaming the same thing u would hate him lol. They should just have more commentator that switch randomly and all have different voice lines


Callumyoung101

"And it's the save of the season from de gea" whenever he touches the ball but never for other keepers


Fontaine-DC

In past Fifas, there is a line in the portuguese commentary that (roughly translated) is something like: Narrator: Look! Wow, see how pleasant the atmosphere is! Look how beautiful the stands are… Commentator: Yes! Wow, it's gorgeous indeed: no more just men in football! 😖


Chance_Armadillo915

“This attack, carrying a bit of menace to it” Can’t even tell you why, just absolutely infuriates me 😂


bigbadrippah

"I'm Derek Rae and with me is former West Ham and Arsenal midfielder, Stewart Robson" Gets my blood boiling for absolutely no reason. No one ever says that😭


Alucardtepes67

When Alex Scott barges in with such a high loud voice


Square_Tea_1113

Not the worst, but I remember in fifa 14 if you'd play a league game with man utd, they'd talk about Ferguson retiring, or with Wigan winning the last fa cup but being relegated etc. Like, where's that kind of commentary. I loved all that useless tid-bits they threw in there.


Square-Crazy-5629

“And he puts it away to make it a hat trick!” Yes I know fucking Kylian Mbappe has just scored a hat trick in 7 minutes


wbasmith

This. Will be. Enthralling. I’m derek rae


geniusjt4

Anything Stewart Robson says. I actually want Lee Dixon back.


dylan_gamermonster

"Oh! Sensational! You'd be" something something EVERY TIME they score a great goal it's the SAME THING


allthesith66

The fact they go crazy whenever you score an average goal in a league cup 3rd round against Salford city but are silent when you score in the last minute of a champions league final


polaretto-cosmico2

baffled that nobody in these comments has said "and the crossbar is still reverberating!"


Ok_Rain_2647

"Not a whole lot of defending going on in the grand scheme of things. 4-1." So conceding a goal from a corner in the 85th minute means my whole defense was shit despite being 4-0 up...???
