New EA Sports FC football simulators will not have Russian commentators
[ad_1]
In the following parts of EA Sports FC (former FIFA) there will be no Russian commentators. About this in the online program “Comment.Show” told Russian journalist and commentator Konstantin Genich.
According to Mr. Genich, representatives of Electronic Arts (EA) contacted him and announced that there would no longer be voice acting in Russian in the new EA Sports FC games. For the first time, Russian commentators appeared in the series in 2006 with FIFA 07 – they were Vasily Utkin, Yuri Rozanov and Vasily Solovyov. Since 2015 and FIFA 16, Konstantin Genich and Georgy Cherdantsev have been Russian commentators in the games of the series. Released in 2022, FIFA 23 was the last game in the series to feature Russian voice acting.
In March 2022, due to a Russian special operation in Ukraine, EA first banned esportsmen from Russia and Belarus to participate in FIFA 22 matches, and then removed from the simulator the Russian national football team, Russian football clubs and the Spartak stadium Otkritie Bank Arena. In May 2022, EA and the International Football Federation (FIFA) failed agree to renew the license to release the FIFA video game, which resulted in their partnership being terminated and the game renamed.
