Former England forward and a fairly well known broadcaster, Alan Smith, will be joining forces with Martin Tyler for the commentary duties in the English version of FIFA Soccer 12.
I don't really follow soccer. I really don't get it, but this sounds like some big news to me for fans of the sport. FIFA Soccer 12 arrives on September 27 in North America and September 30 for the rest of the world on the PS3, Xbox 360, PC, Wii, PS2, 3DS, PSP, iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch.
“Alan will bring a fresh, new perspective and insight to FIFA Soccer 12, working alongside the trusted and well-known voice of Martin Tyler,” said David Rutter, Senior Producer of FIFA Soccer 12. “As one of the top-tier broadcasters in the UK, 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,” said Smith. “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.”
For the first time ever, FIFA Soccer 12 will feature two English broadcast teams, and more than 10,000 lines of fresh commentary, making the game sound new and different all year long. The second commentary team, featuring Clive Tyldesley and Andy Townsend, will call tournament matches, giving these games a real-world broadcast feel and sound. Fans will also have the option to customize the audio to their preferred commentators for any matches.
