Decided to add David Croft & Martin Brundle Commentary.

Recommended Posts

The only thing I think this game is lacking is some decent Race commentary, so I decided to add in my own. Purely for the fun of it. (Race starts 7:20 into the video)

Definitely needed a higher difficulty ;) But good commentary, but as long as it doesn't get as basic as FIFA its not bad as it is really ;)

Was the first time I'd hit the track so wasn't sure how difficult it would be :D
I'm now playing with the AI on 85 with fewer assists. Slowly but surely. Plus I'll have my wheel back by Saturday :)

All you need to do to sound like those two twats is babble, babble, babble interspersed with scream, scream, scream. I've never heard such BS commentary in 40 years of watching F1.

You clearly never listened to Murray Walker commentating an F1 race then because you described his world famous commentating style perfectly, babble,babble,babble, scream, scream,scream.

But the Murray/Martin commentary worked because both love the sport. Murray brought the ecitement, Martin brought the facts. If there was a crash or something, Murray would get all excited and his mouth/mind would jump to conclusions, Martin in that boring  F1 driver style, would politely correct him.

Murray was a fan first, a presenter/commentator second, the guys presenting F1 these days are there for the money/career advancement, and you only have to see them turn off that presenter smile/personality once the camera is off them to see the problem first hand.

Yes, you're right. I never heard Murray Walker. I'm in US and up until this year we have always had our own broadcast team working for whatever TV entity covered F1. This year we have no such team and ESPN which airs F1 is using the Sky feed with Croft et al. I miss Bob Varsha, David Hobbs and Steve Matchett. The comparison is black and white. This year I watched the races with the sound muted most of the time. If it's the same deal next year I don't think I'll bother. I'll stick with MotoGP which is much more fun to watch anyway.

You missed out on a legend @Nikeros7.

Here's a comparison. Same Grand Prix.

Original ITV Commentary  (Murray and Martin)

New Sky Sports Commentary.

Not entirely fair as the Sky commentary is from a race nearly 20 years ago whereas Murray was commentating live, but you know Crofty's commentating style well enough to know he'd have still made it all sound boring if he had been commentating on the day.
