Commentators

[chen_sc]

I have the US version of the game, and there are only 3 commentators: the English, French and Mexican.
How can I add more languages? (I know there are also German, Portuguese, Arabic etc..)

Not sure and good question... Commenting to keep this near the top so if anyone knows they tell us.

I am surprised we do not have the German.

On a side note I would be in heaven if there is a Welsh setting. I was born there but we moved when I was tiny. I am trying to learn the language and it would be a cool way.

I play on French some, it helps with the French II class I am taking in school.

I don't recall the last FIFA that had the option to choose from all the languages offered in the game. I forget if you had to buy them through the catalogue or something.

The last few versions have only given us those 3 options. Spanish commentators from Spain would be awesome to have, with Dutch, Italian and others.

I believe FIFA 09 had the options to download additional languages as DLC for like $1.99 a piece, including the Alternate English (featuring Manc worshipper Clive Tyldesley). It was a nice feature but only worth it if you spoke the languages, otherwise it was a bit pricey and as far as I know was scrapped the following year.


EDIT: Actually, here ya go- turns out they were free..
