Recording FC 24 Gameplay Without Commentary for Mobile
Most people record their FIFA and now EA Sports FC 24 matches only to realize the commentary is drowning out the audio they actually want. The process isn't complicated, but there are enough pitfalls that I see the same mistakes over and over. Here's how it actually works. The core issue is that FC 24 runs commentary through the same audio channel as your controller input, match sounds, and music. You can't just toggle off commentary mid-game and expect clean audio. There are a few different approaches depending on what device you're playing on and what kind of file you need at the end. If you're on console, the cleanest method is to go into the game settings before you start playing. Navigate to Settings > Audio > Commentary, and you'll find an option to mute it entirely or set it to low volume. From there you can record straight through your console's built-in capture function. PlayStation lets you do this natively, and Xbox has the same capability. The files come out ready to transfer to your phone via cloud or USB.
On PC, you have more control. You can use OBS or similar software to set up an audio track that excludes the commentary channel specifically. FC 24 on PC separates some audio elements, so you can route the commentary microphone to its own track and simply mute that track during recording. This gives you much cleaner results than just turning the commentary down in-game. For mobile recording of gameplay already happening on another device, you're looking at screen recording software. On Android, apps like Mixplorer-based screen recorders or the built-in recorder on Samsung and OnePlus devices work fine. iOS has its own screen recording feature buried in Control Center. The catch is that both will pick up whatever audio your system is currently playing, commentary and all, unless you've already muted it in-game. I spent probably six hours trying to figure out why my recorded clips still had commentary even after I thought I'd disabled it properly. The problem turned out to be that FC 24 has two separate commentary settings. One controls the pre-match and between-play commentary, and another controls the in-action commentary that triggers during goals and big moments. I only turned off the first one. Once I went back and muted the second setting too, the recordings came out clean. It's easy to miss because the settings are buried in different menus.
When you're transferring files to mobile for editing or uploading, the format matters more than most people realize. Console recordings typically come out as MP4 or MKV depending on the system. If you're planning to edit on a phone, make sure the resolution matches what your editing app handles well. 1080p at 60fps is usually the sweet spot. Anything higher just makes the file enormous without giving you anything you can actually see on a phone screen. One thing that catches people out is the file size. A single 90-minute match recorded at decent quality can easily hit two or three gigabytes. If you're trying to move that over to your phone regularly, either use a proper file transfer method like cable or cloud storage, or lower the recording bitrate before you start. Dropping from 50Mbps to 20Mbps on PC recording barely affects visual quality but cuts the file size by almost half. If you need this for content creation rather than personal use, you might also want to consider whether removing commentary entirely is the right call. Some creators keep the crowd noise and match sounds but strip the commentator's voice using audio editing software afterward. That's a heavier workflow but gives you more flexibility if you decide later you want some audio back in.

The straightforward answer for most people is to just mute both commentary settings in-game, record directly from your platform's capture tool, and transfer the file to your phone. It takes about thirty seconds to set up once you know where the settings are, and it works consistently. The main downside is you lose the ambient atmosphere of a live match, which some people find makes the gameplay feel flatter, but if you just want the visuals without the voiceover, that's the trade-off you're making.
