In EA FC 25, the new German commentators need to be set up first. You can find out how to do that here on MeinMMO.
If you have already started in Early Access and kicked off your first match, you must have been quite surprised when English commentators started talking at the beginning of the game.
A strange change, since in previous years, German players were always greeted by Frank Buschmann and Wolff Fuss as soon as they started their first game.
But don’t worry: In EA FC 25, there are German commentators again, and new ones with Florian Schmidt-Sommerfeld (Sky) and Jan Platte (DAZN). However, these need to be activated manually and downloaded as a language pack. We will show you how to do that.
EA FC 25: Activate German Commentators
Here’s how: To finally hear the new German speakers in gameplay, you need to do the following.
- In the main menu, click on the gear icon in the top left corner.
- Then go to “Settings” and then to “Game Settings”.
- Navigate to “Audio” using R1.
- Set the “Commentator Language” to German under “11-GG.-11-Audio”.
- Now, when you exit the menu, a message will pop up asking you to download the commentary language. Confirm this with “Download”.
- You will then enter a PlayStation menu where you need to confirm the download again.
Once the package is fully downloaded, you will immediately hear German commentators in the next game.
Who are the successors of Frank Buschmann and Wolff Fuss? The two new commentators are Florian Schmidt-Sommerfeld (Schmiso) and Jan Platte.
While Schmiso is mainly active in the Bundesliga matchday conferences and for the English Premier League on Sky, Jan Platte is involved with DAZN on major Champions League nights and for the Spanish LaLiga.
Both already have 7 and 8 years of professional experience as commentators at their respective employers.
What do you think of the new commentators? Feel free to let us know in the comments!
