Can we get mid race commentary in 17?

Recommended Posts

when I watch formula 1 there is commentary throughout the race, yet in the game it is dead air. If the announcers spoke during the race, even during overtakes, it would make the race much more fun. Especially for those who play full weekend.

I wonder if commentaries would be too repetitive and become annoying after some time. I would rather hear more race updates from my engineer

Tbh I would turn this option off immediately if it would be in the game. During the race I am the driver, not the spectator. In real life, the drivers also do not listen to the commentators. So why should we in the game?

I think you are right, it will becoming very annoying (maybe not with English commentary), but I do know that I stopped playing FIFA because of the Dutch commentary (and I got beaten by my son, but that's irrelevant)

While I would not be opposed to it as long as I could turn it off, I do full weekends, 100% races, never been bothered by lack of chatter--in fact, with as many weather updates as my engineer likes to give me at times, the game could do with a lot less talking even.. so I don't really feel the need for something like this.

You can turn it off...

In race replay would be a nice touch, with a few more close up camera angles.

F1 Commentators are busy men, espically crofty. And it would be a waste of their time a lot of people would just turn it off cause it's annoying, and repetitive, aswell as it isn't realistic cause Crofty wouldn't make a stupid mistake, or miss something obvious

Hahaha, I really like Crofty, but I can't get over how often he is just completely lost. I remember once back in USA 2015, when the whole race got VSC'd, he was so puzzled watching a replay of Kvyat attempting an overtake on Hamilton because he thought it was under VSC. It took him and Brundle like 5 mins to sort through and realize that they were completely different scenarios.
