FM 2023 Other Files - FM23 Essentials - Audio Match Commentary

There are 2 versions of this mod available.

Free version with commentary - Limited updates - not fully optimized and only 1000 sound triggers (download now) WINDOWS and MACBOOK

Full version with commentary - Live updates - Full to the brim with over 4500 sound triggers ( my personal blog - purchase based ) WINDOWS

Please do try the Free Version to get a feel of how this mod works, however the Full Version is far superior in every way as this has had multiple updates and due to the added amount of work that has been put into it, over 4000 more sounds.

Improvements from FM22 to FM23

Removal of more dead sound triggers that don't activate any sounds
European competition music still in
More sounds added for each triggered movement of a player
Massive overhaul of balancing the amount and how often triggers activate
Additional sound triggers added for new situations
Additional sounds added to existing triggers for more variation of commentary
More relevant crowd reaction sounds added to situations
Crowd chanting and singing added for better crowd atmosphere
Added stadium sounds ( announcers, substitution, added time )
VAR action
Goal Music
New Goal Variations - Hattrick - Comeback - Equalizer etc
Added pitch sounds
More Balancing of all sounds

And Many more.

Each year that passes by this pack becomes more and more improved.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL VERSIONS

I've created a video of the installation process for clear and precise help. It's pretty straight forward to be fair !

INSTALLATION VIDEO .

Windows Installation
Program files -> Steam -> steamapps -> common -> Football Manager 2023 -> data

MacBook Installation
Application Support -> Steam -> steamapps -> common -> Football Manager 2023 -> data

All versions are extremely simple to install. Just download the version you want, extract the x2 .fmf files (winzip or winrar) then place the 2 extracted files in the correct above directory.

Done !

IMPORTANT INFO

When SI update the game it puts your game files back to default and also creates a new version of the game. I then release a new version of the mod Simply just paste your downloaded files back in the data file and your new pack will overwrite the default sounds again. DO NOT PASTE AN OLD VERSION AS IT WILL CRASH YOUR GAME.

Crowd and stadium sounds only versions are also available: ( Non Commentary)

It works for the full version although I am over the next few days looking at optimisation for this as there are again a few things that have changed on full release. Once I have optimized it I will send it out via email to everyone that has purchased it.

Did someone already check if the full version still works without problems after the release of full fm23 last night?

@Matty47 it's already out mate. The stadium/crowd pack is the Football Ambience Pack.
Matty47 • 6 months ago

When do you think crowd and stadium only pack will be released?
Manager34 • 6 months ago

The new ambience version seems great, just watched the video on your homepage.
MetzFM • 6 months ago

Once the game goes into live mode on the day of release, you will need to reinstall your pack so make sure you keep it safe !

I again purchase full version and im glad my donation will help you to continue ur work... I need to ask when game update i mean go full version and not beta do i need to again donate for update download link or u will send it?

One last comment after playing more matches and i can echo what others said this mod is really great. The fan chants alone add so much atmosphere its even better than i expected, when you watch youtube clips with the monotonious original sound afterwards you realize how much of a difference it makes. And i am not even on the full version yet. At the moment i think the problem i described only happens when my team plays against my own youth or second team with very few if any spectators but still not sure, anyway a great addition to the game thank you for this metz i can recommend it

Second match everything worked fine. I dont know why to be fair.

Richardcharlston-i maybe would but i dont have a credit card and paypal is not possible at the moment if i am correct

Manager 34-buy the full version, its well worth it
Manager34 • 6 months ago

I tried the free version now and unfortunately i have the same problem as others, the main crowd sound when watching a full game is gone most of the time, crowd is completely quiet then comes back a few seconds and then goes away again, even when a goal is scored. Commentary works fine. Im not on mac, using Windows 11.
Manager34 • 6 months ago

Im confused. I thought we need to do this Archiver Procedure because otherwise the game possibly crashes. Now the link with the tutorial how to do that is gone, i would like to try the free version on Windows, is it now just replacing the files and if so is the risk for crashes gone?
MetzFM • 6 months ago

You won't be able to get this to work without the commentary as the mod is created with some crowd sounds embedded into the commentary. However I'm in the middle of making a crowd and stadium only pack to go with this
Matty47 • 6 months ago

Downloaded mod for fm23 and it’s just awesome. Has anyone actually got this working without the commentary, not that commentary isn’t great just wondered what it’s like with just crowd sounds.

Rivanov-buy a decent PC

@MetzFM Seriously? That's why it's quite often silent in my games... I play on Mac
kfnielsen • 6 months ago

thank god that I don't own a Mac

Only the free version works for mac, Macbook restricts the amount of text you can have in the file to 1200 lines of text for triggers where Windows allows unlimited lines of text for triggers. So the full version will never work for macbook

Is there a paid version that works on Mac?

Thanks for answering me by message !

I don't have anymore the main crowd sound but only the voice of the commentary. Sometimes I have the sound of the crowd but it then stops after a few seconds. I don't understand why it's doing this.
I have the full version on steam. I just copy and paste/replace the files in the data folder like you said. I even reloaded the cache and restart my computer
