FM 2023 Other Files - FM23 Essentials - Audio Match Commentary
There are 2 versions of this mod available.

Free Version with Commentary: While it offers a taste of my innovation, please note that it has received limited updates since 2019 and is not finely tuned like the premium version. This pack comes with only 1000 sound triggers, it's just a glimpse of the complete version to give you an idea of how this mod works. Available for download on both Windows and MacBook platforms. .

Complete Version With Commentary - Experience the Ultimate Edition and Immerse Yourself in The World Of Football Manager with Live Updates, Featuring a Constant Streams of Fresh Sounds and Triggers, Enhanced Timing for Commentary, Enriched with Crowds, Stadium Effects, and Beyond - Dive into a Treasure Trove of Over 4500 Sound Triggers (Exclusively on My Personal Blog ( PURCHASE BASED )- Available for Windows).


We invite you to explore the Free Version to acquaint yourself with the mod's functionality. Yet, the Full Version stands in a league of its own, boasting an impressive 4000+ additional sounds, a sweeping overhaul in trigger timing, and the elimination of overlapping elements. Trust us when we say, it's a game-changer. But don't just take our word for it — check out the reviews below and witness the transformation for yourself.

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

  • 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)
British crowd and stadium pack

    The installation is super easy and the attached installation tutorial explains it extremely accurately and well.
    With the updated crowd sound, you finally feel like you are in a real stadium.
    The commentator sounds pretty good and takes the gaming experience to a new level

    Overall, thanks for this great pack and keep up the good work!

    Hi
    I love the job you've done on that soundpack, great job, however, I would like to create a soundpack for the Polish league myself, could I count on your support?
    I have an idea to create a sounds with every top league polish club audio with their own songs, but didnt know a way how to start..
  • _Alperenx7_'s avatar
    Hello. I did the limited package but I don't want the commentator. How do I delete it? If there's no way around that, what do I need to do to go back to fully standard FM 23 audio files? Good work.

    @Astudillo

    I have never come across this problem with the mod, do you have anything else possibly installed in the data file location that may be causing this.
  • Astudillo's avatar
    @MetzFM . Hi, I have the paid Audio Match commentary pack and whenever I install the pack I get random freezes during matches, about 1 freeze every minute or so. The freezes last for like 3/5 seconds before the game continues. It's really annoying because I really love the audio commentary, it adds a lot but is unusable for me like this. Any way to fix this?

    When I verify the integrity of game files via Steam the issue is gone but of course the files of this Sound Pack get replaced. When I go to install the Sound Pack again, the issue returns.

    @Clem1967 . I have also downloaded the complete sound pack. I think you have to buy the audience sound package.
  • Clem1967's avatar
    How do you get the crowd only sound? Is there a link to just the crowd sounds without the Peter Drury commentary? I have downloaded the full sound pack.

    Many thanks

    Hi! I play FM23 Touch on the iPad. I've been able to install logo/face packs with no problem. Is there a way to install this mod? The face packs I moved into a graphics folder. Thanks! Would like to buy the premium version if this works.

    @Claro

    The crowd sound varies in volume in different situations, different chants and situations cause louder crowd reactions. Dimming them down would then not give you a realistic account of what has happened, this also applies to home and away games so in some certain home scenarios the crowd reaction may be a little louder

    Hey, so I just bought the full version and I was wondering, its possible to lower the crowd sound a bit, so i can hear better the commentary, thanks!

    @Smurfygray86

    If you get the crowd only version it will just overwrite the commentary version mate. No need to worry. Just overwrite existing files when copying across
