FIFA Commentary Quartet To Include Sky & ITV’s best.
So we may have got it half right back in April when we reported that Clive Tyldesley was to commentating for FIFA 12 and that Andy Gray was dropped.
Thankfully Martin Tyler is still there and will be joined by another Sky Sports colour commentator, ex Arsenal Striker, Alan Smith. Not only that but the classic FIFA team of Clive Tyldesley and Andy Townsend also return. Not only can you switch between the two teams at your pleasure via the menu screens but the game is set up so that league matches are covered by the Sky team of Martin and Alan, whilst the Tournament/Cup games are covered by the ITV team of Clive and Andy.
David Rutter, Senior Producer of FIFA 12, said:
“Alan will bring a fresh, new perspective and insight to FIFA 12, working alongside the trusted and well-known voice of Martin Tyler. As one of the top-tier broadcasters on the UK football scene, he brings enormous knowledge and expert analysis to the game so that we can deliver the most authentic FIFA experience this year.”
“The natural chemistry that Martin and I have developed working live matches for TV has transferred very well to the virtual broadcast booth. I’m really looking forward to FIFA fans hearing our work this fall as we bring all the match day emotion and excitement to this year’s game.”
The game will cross our paths on September 30th (September 27th for North America) and be available for Xbox 360, PS3, PS2, Wii, Nintendo 3DS, PSP, PC, iPhone/iPod Touch and iPad. We'll also be bringing you more information when we get it and get our boots laced up.
