Sorry mate, but what you've written makes no sense to me.

Surely it's irrelevant that the technology/software has been bought in, its usage isn't still controlled by EA sports during a game is it (?), it's not implementation by them it's simply their product.

Is there no differentiation between home and away teams on FIFA in respects to the noises heard when playing the game? Is it deafening cheering whoever scores? Do you just hear wall-to-wall booing if any player is sent off? Or are these noises in the game dependant upon whether it's the home team who scores/has a man sent off?

It’s not controlled once it’s turned on and then it’s not always accurate.

You get loud cheering as if someone has scored when they miss. You get no cheering when home teams score. Sometimes Bluemoon is just on repeat for 90 mins, sometimes it’s not. Sometimes there’s booing at a perfectly normal substitute.

The software they use is supposed to have some level of AI to reflect the game but it doesn’t always happen, all BT and Sky have done is buy it and pressed play for when Liverpool are playing Spurs away, after then it’s out of their control.

I am a fully paid up member of the bias brigade, I just don’t think this is an example of it.

But they did mention the rat faced rag and Henderson in connection with the Holcaust commemoration. These things always seem more about promoting teams in red rather than the good cause.
What's will be next? Certain not Ilkay's efforts.

Maybe a piece on how Carlton has kept local hairdressers afloat during lockdown or how Fatty Shaw has single handedly saved every takeaway in the Borough of Trafford from bankruptcy.

Football is back at BBC Breakfast together with bright smiling happy faces and lots of coverage on both national and local bulletins. Naga MFC has to get in on the act with a bit of her trademark stupidity to start it off by asking why wasn't Klopp sacked when Lampard was but from then on they're cooking. Back in the winning habit says Smug Mike (if one event is a habit), all the goals shown, a set of goofy teeth rabbit away as Klopp obscures the rest of his mush with that daft hat pulled right down. Local news proudly announce that now Liverpool are 'just' four points behind City as if they were leading the chase.
What a load of bollocks. Back to reality when City have a big win tomorrow which is somehow missed off the news.
In a later bulletin Liverpool are 4 points behind in the title race, correcting the accidental mention of who leads the league.

".....Correcting the accidental mention of who leads the title race". Ha ha love it.

The team whose name must not be mentioned, aka "These" according to Shaun Dyche. "When you play "These", you got to right on it....."These" have world class players all over the park and "These" have £200 million sat on the bench.

I was looking forward yesterday to reading on the Bbc football thread the Premier league reaction news after the scum game where we get the media and fans discussing the games....didn't have it for the first time i can remember after games the previous night....notice its back today though in all all it's glory !!

When he grows up he might realise he was privileged to watch let alone have his team play against 'these' wonderful players. What a difference in the personalities of Eddie Howe and the Yobbish Diche.
Football is far too tribal now especially when the likes of David Silva can enchant us but fail to be noticed let alone praised by the media just because he plays for 'this' team.

Just enjoy the silence

I see what you did there....people are people.

Cheers, I just didn't know how the software worked, didn't know AI was a part of it, assumed it was just some sort of glorified synthesiser with effects buttons that were pressed to create reactions, played over and around a background individualised stadium chant (if that makes any sense). As I said, it made no sense to me, I just (wrongly) assumed it was controlled by people rather than just computer controlled. Thanks for helping me get into the 21st century :)
