Now heres a thing....have you watched your own game on 2 or 3 pcs at the same time on friends accounts....the variations in text commentary for the same match are horrendous.....e.g. 'the goalie parries the ball..(blah) , lack of confidence' and 'superb save from the keeper' -both for the same piece of action........this happens many times during the game.......no wonder Nordeus can't give us a true animated version of the game.
Well firstly yes we know its not the full game, just like the commentary is not the full game. Imagine the speed that an animation would have to run at to provide it all in 8 mins. (And the memory demands.)

Yes I've watched many a game on mobile and PC at the same time. (I've still not got around to watching it on PC and laptop using the same platform for 2 different teams.) The commentary differs but the events the commentary describes are the same. That ofc is why I shy away from literal interpretations of the comments since a shot can be wide, ripple the net and hit the post at the same time depending on the device The consistency is there was a shot and it missed. Or in your example that there was a goal attempt and it was saved. (Which is the basis for my often used response to "my GK made 4 saves, kept a clean sheet and rated 6" being...."how do you know they were good or ba saves, easy or hard saves, cat-like or fumbles )

I think they have improved the mobile commentary pack with more variation instead of the old repeated "wide", "wide" but until they start replicating the commentary packs on each platform, in the same way, its not going to change. And its no surprise that they're different since different platforms still have different mechanics (training, auto-subs, auto-apply etc) and different needs to manage.

Ofc these are the very reasons I keep banging on about improved stats which represent a whole match perspective eg whats the point of knowing pass percentage if you don't know the number of passes. I want stats that represent whole game, possession style information just like I put in the Suggestions topic.

So yes I agree, but I'm not expecting a full animation either.
