Overview
- A BBC interview revealed that commentator Guy Mowbray granted EA permission to replicate his voice to generate some player-name lines.
- The AI assistance targets the highly repetitive job of recording tens of thousands of names in multiple intonations for different in-game contexts.
- Longer, more expressive commentary remains written and recorded by Mowbray and co-commentator Sue Smith to preserve their natural style.
- FC 26’s Steam page has displayed a generative-AI disclosure since before launch, according to verification by PCGamesN.
- It is not yet clear whether AI-generated name calls are already in FC 26 or are being produced for a future title, and outlets have requested clarification from EA.
