After the departure of Andy Gray as commentator for the FIFA series there was a lot of speculation as to who’d be the commentators on the upcoming FIFA 12.
Well speculation over, EA have announced that the English FIFA 12 commentators will be:
Martin Tyler and Alan Smith
Taken from the EA Website:
David Rutter, Senior Producer of FIFA 12:
“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 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.”
Alan Smith, Well-respected broadcaster and former England forward:
“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.”
You can hear Martin Tyler and Alan Smith in action introducing themselves here:
EA have also revealed that FIFA 12 will feature a second commentary team featuring Clive Tyldesley and Andy Townsend and over 10,000 lines of commentary.
EA say that Clive Tyldesley and Andy Townsend will call tournament matches, giving these games a real-world broadcast feel and sound.
A nice touch this year is that we will be able to customise our commentary, choosing our preferred commentators for any matches which should keep the commentary fresh and new all year round.

Please, do not remove Enrique Bermudez and Ricardo Pelaez, you guys should add the whole “Televisa” narrating crew. They’re awesome and have tremendous knowledge in soccer. It would be nice if the Mexican Spanish can also have a cycle, and put “Tv Aztecas’s” narrators. Thank you.
I agree. With the part of keeping Enrique Bermudez and Ricardo Pelaez Great team. And yes they should add the whole Televisa crew, real professional and great knowledge of Football (Futbol). At least two more will give a fresh feeling to the games. At the very least add more lines to Enrique Bermudez and Ricardo Pelaez. —SO PLEASE FIFA TEAM Remember FIFA games go worldwide and we appreciate all your work but please also think of Mexico a great culture of Football.Great fans and great passion about this magnificent sport.Thank You
Alan Smith, saw it coming, a good choice. Personally I wanted the 2 commentators from mean machine but oh well
i figured itd be Andy Townsend considerin he did it for fifa world cup, never wouldve guessed EA would put in another string of commentators for tounaments which i think is a really nice touch.
they should leave perro bermudes and pelaez and add
rspn deportes narrator
JORGE RAMOS IF YOU KNOW WHO HE IS HE NARRRATS MORE EXITING THAN PERRO BERMUDEZ
i hope there is spanish commentators on the xbox 360 version
Having heard the commentary on the demo, Jesus, Alan Smith is terrible. He mumbles along and to put it bluntly his lisp or speech impediment (or is it that he is badly digitised?) really doesn’t help. And unlike Andy Gray he never shuts up!
The commentary did seem to match onscreen action better this time around. Thank God we can choose our commentators, we’ll be turning Alan Smith off straight away.
I think you should put Pablo Ramirez and Jesus Bracamontes, they are real commentators. these two know how to narrate a soccer game. many people are tired of the same old two spanish commentators.
I Totally Agree With You , I Would Rather Prefer Pablo Ramirez & Jesus Bracamontes Rather Then “Perro” Bermudez & Ricardo Pelaez , They’ve Really Gotten Old Already
Fantastic decision making from FIFA all thats missing now is the licence for champions league rights (Y)
in the European version The game have two sets of English commentators ?? cuse i just have Martin Tyler and Alan Smith , and arabic option !
probably a pretty stupid question but how do I switch to spanish commentators on Fifa 11? Txs
ther r no commentators on my fifa12 yarrr…boooooring:((((((((((((((((
@Dominick Smith man bracamontes and ramirez are too boring! Perro knows how to put emotion to a game! and knows what he’s talking about above all
