**********

From the team that brought you the KROL commentary file back in 2005 comes a brand new commentary pack for Football Manager 2010.

Just to refresh your memory, the 2007 KROL file was developed over several years and included the work of the legendary Taipan. After we were contacted by Sports Interactive, parts of the file were later implemented in Football Manager 2006. This year, we decided to bring the team back and work on a brand new commentary file, an aspect of the game which we feel has been a bit too generic and repetitive over the last few years. Initially, we had problems with the pack but with the help of Seafire - whose new addition to the team came as a blessing in disguise - we were able to overcome these problems and successfully implement around 2000 modified commentary lines which we hope will enhance your gaming experience. These lines have been thoroughly tested and there have been no reported problems. The new modifications to the commentary file include the following:
* More goal celebrations
* More in game comments involving the managers
* More in game comments involving the players
* More lines creating larger sense of drama for different occasions ie comebacks, winning a trophy/title
* Improved media references
* and much more....

Please be aware that this pack has been designed for English commentary only and will not work for any other languages. Our main aim is to ultimately change every line of SI's original commentary, along with as many alternatives as we can in an attempt to provide the fans with as less repetitive a gaming experience as possible for each game. We would welcome your feedback and in the meantime we will be starting work on Version 2.

This sounds great. Sadly I am at work so will have to contain my excitement at downloading this file until later.

In the meantime, one question: will the file path be similar for those of us running FM10 from Steam?

Hi,
It should work on Steam but we haven't had the opportunity to test it because we all had the boxed version. It should be a similar file path depending what update you have (if any). Something like:

C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\football manager 2010\data\updates\update-1030\data\events

Without an update it should be:

C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\football manager 2010\data\events


If you have any problems please let us know.

I meant to feedback to you guys on this...

I had no issue in downloading this and using it with FM10 launched from Steam.

I have now played many matches with your commentary and have certainly noticed much more variety in the match commentary as well as being far more entertaining and interesting. I have spotted a couple of typos in the commentary along the way, but only seen these once. Next time I'll try to capture them so I can confirm.

Overall, this has certainly enhanced the matches, so thanks very much for your efforts on this - great work! I'd recommend to everyone.

just a little question do you need to start a new game with these?

[EatMySok]

Thanks Knight.

Dodds, you don't have to start a new game.
