As well as a brand new name, EA Sports FC 24 brings with it plenty of big changes, one of which sees players treated to two different commentary teams. For just the second time in the franchise's history, the English-language version of the game also features a female commentator, with Sue Smith joining Guy Mowbray for certain classic Kick Off and Ultimate Team matches, the latter of which will also see men teaming up with women in this year's installment.
Unfortunately, however, some players appear to be a little unhappy with the new commentary duo, leading many to wonder whether it's possible to stick with Derek Rae and Stewart Robson. It seems that EA pre-empted this to a certain degree, as the developers chose to include a special option for players who want to disable Sue Smith and Guy Mowbray's commentary in EA Sports FC 24.
How to Disable Commentators in EA Sports FC 24
If for whatever reason players would like to disable one particular commentary duo, they'll simply need to navigate to the Audio tab of the Settings menu, which can be accessed by selecting the gear icon in the top left-hand corner of the main menu and then cycling through tabs with the shoulder buttons. Once they're at the right place, players will need to look for "Commentary Team" and then choose one of the three available options. An explanation of what they all do can be found below:
- Derek Rae and Stewart Robson: Players will only ever hear Derek Rae and Stewart Robson commentating on their matches regardless of which game mode they are playing.
- Prioritize Guy Mowbray and Sue Smith (Where Available): Guy Mowbray and Sue Smith will commentate on all of the player's Kick Off and Ultimate Team matches.
- Randomize (Where Available): The commentary team for Kick Off and Ultimate Team matches will be chosen at random. Derek Rae and Stewart Robson will comment on all other match types.
For those who are easily triggered by video game commentary, there's also an option to disable critical commentary. This too can be found in the Audio tab of the settings menu, and, when enabled, will make it so that the commentators don't say things like "Oh. That's a terrible shot" or "What were they thinking?" When a player misses a sitter or gives away possession due to a poor pass or through ball.
EA Sports FC 24 is available now on PC, PS5, PS4, Switch, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One.
