How to change FIFA 23 commentators & turn off critical commentary

If you’re wondering how to turn off critical commentary in FIFA 23 or change the commentator entirely, you’ve come to the right place. Here, we’ll show you exactly what to do.

Missing an open goal or big chance in a match can be annoying at the best of times, but FIFA games can make matters worse sometimes using its broadcast team.

The commentators this year are Derek Rae and Stewart Robson, both of whom can have pretty harsh things to say if you squander an opportunity or make a mistake in-game. For many players, this is the last thing you want to hear when you miss out on a victory in Division Rivals, FUT Draft, Squad Battles, or other popular modes.

If you don’t want to hear it, there is a way to turn off critical commentary or switch out the pair completely for another language.
