No play-by-play commentary during 2D games

Hi,

I'm forwarding a question following a discussion in the FHM Discord :

''Hey guys so apparently there is a play-by-play box when watching the games in 2D mode, but mine stays grey all the time during the highlights except when a goal is scored (it blinks and just says "GOAL", then the box becomes grey again with no text whatsoever). I watched some videos on youtube and the bottom of the screen is quite different from mine, I don't have any of the commentary about what's going on in the game in 2D mode. The only related option that I can find seems to be only about classic mode. Is anyone else also experiencing this ?"

I really would love to see the play-by-play while watching my games, don't hesitate to tell me if I can provide further infos regarding this issue. Thanks in advance !

Should be on by default. Can you post a screenshot of what you're seeing in 2D? It doesn't sound like a resolution issue, since you do get the Goal comment, but I'd like to make sure that isn't it.

Sure thing.

Here what I see during the game .

The bottom of the screen is a grey bar with no text that stays the same during whatever is happening on the ice, except during goals where the grey box is blinking according to the team colors with the word "GOAL".

It's the only commentary that I see during the games, I had the commentary during play-by-play in FHM7, but since FHM8 I don't have them anymore so I thought they were removed for everyone somehow.

So I guess it's a long going issue that is on my end, but I don't know why it is happening.

My screen has a 1920x1080 native resolution, I play full screen

Oh, I just learned that the play-by-play commentary is only available in full view mode. If you don't mind sharing how come those are not implemented in the different highlights options when viewing the game ?
