Genich and Cherdantsev — The Iconic Voices in FC 27

3× More Lines Than in FC 26

• More than 74,555 Russian lines — 3× more than in the FC 26 version: 92 hours of broadcast sorted recording by recording
• All 3,728 FC 27 commentary events replaced in full: not a word of English
• 2,337 types of match situations mapped manually and algorithmically, 1,436 of them one-to-one
• More than 2,500 players are called by surname, including 475 female players
• 2,004 club nicknames voiced: teams are called what their fans call them

Commentary Without Pauses, Like a Real Broadcast

Cherdantsev calls the game almost without pauses: shots, saves, offsides, corners, fouls, tackles, dribbles and crosses — every moment gets a line. Genich picks it up with breakdowns and analysis. A goal moment, a kick-off with a line about the score, pre-match cutscenes, the line-up presentation — it all sounds like a real broadcast.

“She Scored” Is Gone for Good

Feminine grammatical forms in men’s football — the biggest pain point of the FC 26 version — have been eliminated entirely. Men’s and women’s football in FC 27 are commentated separately: gender is checked independently for the player, goalkeeper, team, referee, assistant referee and manager. 27,000+ voiced slots — zero gender errors.

RPL Sounds Like the Real Thing

For the RPL we built what the original game does not have: 730 original FIFAMAN lines, 336 Russian players named by surname, pre-match club introductions and phrases about Russian competitions. Put on a Zenit or Spartak match and you hear that familiar, home-grown broadcast.

Not One Line Out of Place

• No “foul in the box” during a shot: the line always describes exactly what is happening on the pitch
• No “not much time left” in the third minute: lines about the score and time play only when they are true
• No repeated greeting in cutscenes: “Hello” is said once
• No “you’ll find out on EA TV” at the start of a pre-match scene: that line comes at the end, where it belongs
• No wrong surnames in starting line-ups: a player is called only by his own surname
• No silence on offsides, goals and kick-offs
• No mixing of voices: only Genich and Cherdantsev, only their original recordings

Every line-to-moment match went through multi-stage quality control: an in-game action filter, a match-circumstances filter, an intensity filter and an independent audit. The FIFAMAN team reviewed 1,537 “moment — line” pairs and rejected 407 questionable ones. Five versions, five rounds of in-game testing — only what sounds right made it into the mod.
