Custom Audio was introduced in FIFA 11 and has remained a feature in series ever since. It allows you to add your own audio to FIFA to provide another level of depth and realism to an already pretty atmospheric game.

Although not as big a deal has been made about custom audio recently we highly recommend adding chants to take your career mode game to the next level in terms of atmosphere and immersion.

Back when it was first introduced you were able to add specific chants to your favourite team’s repertoire which would echo from the stands at three specific times during each game, during the player introductions (when your team takes to the field), at half time and after a goal has been scored.

Things have moved on since then and nowadays as well as fan chants, FIFA lets you upload custom playlists of your favourite music so if Imagine Dragons, Passion Pit and Flo Rida aren’t your thing now you can spice up FIFA 13 with a bit of Chesney Hawks or Vangaboys or whatever else takes your fancy.

The variety of game audio situations that you can customise has also moved up a level. Instead of just three automatic instances when your uploads would be heard, now you can manually customise a whole host of areas in FIFA 13 with an individual track or a whole playlist.

The customisable areas in are:

The Arena and in game menus
