Recommended Audio Settings
General starting points if your platform offers separate volume controls. Adjust to taste.
Keeping commentary slightly below max avoids clipping on loud moments like goals.
Crowd noise adds a lot to match atmosphere. Don't sacrifice it for commentary clarity.
Clear ball-contact sounds help you judge pass power and shot timing.
Lower menu music so it doesn't wear on you between matches. It has no gameplay effect.
Frequently Asked Questions
On mobile, Konami's FAQ says to go to [Extras] > [Game Settings] > [DL Commentary Data] and select a language to download. On Steam, the game language is chosen in Steam itself ([Library] > [eFootball] > [Properties] > [Language]) before you start the game, and Konami advises not to change it while the game is running.
Konami's FAQ does not cover this. If your platform's sound settings include a commentary volume control, turning it to zero leaves the crowd and match sounds.
Konami's FAQ lists 16 commentary languages: Japanese, English, French, Italian, Spanish, Spanish (Mexico), Greek, Portuguese, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese, Arabic, Spanish (Argentina), Spanish (Chile), Mandarin, Cantonese and Turkish. The game itself can be played in 18 languages.
No. Commentary language is purely cosmetic and has zero effect on match performance, player stats, or any gameplay mechanics.
On mobile, commentary is downloaded data, so check that the language finished downloading under [Extras] > [Game Settings] > [DL Commentary Data] and that you have enough free storage. On console and PC, make sure the game is fully updated.
No. The game can be played in 18 languages but commentary exists in 16, and the two lists differ. For example, German, Russian, Thai and Indonesian are game languages without their own commentary, while Greek commentary is available.
