Seventeen minutes of eFootball, Leeds against Bayer Leverkusen, with the Broker narrating the match, recorded by the developer on a Founder Alpha build. AI commentary on a football game, with its limits on show.
A real session: the developer playing eFootball on a Windows PC with Signal Broker running, the Broker watching the game window and commentating in his own voice. Nothing is scripted and nothing was re-recorded; what he says is what the build produced at the time, including the lines that miss.
Oh there we go Leeds vs Bayern Leverkusen. And on top of that we got Signal Broker narrating the game. Full host but still a bit far from the edge, every new test brings up the quality.
He is a character, not an assistant: you do not type to him and he does not wait to be asked. Silence is a decision he makes; the Broker Bar in the app shows LISTENING in that case. The same character ships in Founder Alpha today, with the current build’s capabilities and limits.
Moments from this recording
Read from the recording itself: the Broker’s words are what his overlay showed at that moment, the time is where the audio-derived captions place them, and “what the frame shows” is the game picture at that second. Hits and misses both count; nobody listened to the audio to write this.
0:51Kick-off, Tarik on the ball
accurate The name matches the on-screen label, and the match is still goalless.
eFootball recording at 0:51.
Alright, finally some live juice. Tarik’s got the ball, midfield control looks solid. Still early, game feels tight, both sides watching each other. No rush, but you can almost sense the first thread about to snap. Sticky, patient start—let’s see who blinks first.
What the frame shows. Open play at 0–0 early in the match; the player label near the bottom left reads “Tarik Mu…”.
inaccurate Leeds scored, and he describes the goalkeeper denying the shot, with “no dice yet”.
eFootball recording at 4:56.
Alright, so Calvert-Lewin almost cracks the nut there, slips past a couple black-and-reds but Flekken’s got the legs stretched and denies it. That was tight—heart nearly skipped. Leeds pushing hard but no dice yet. …
What the frame shows. The scoreboard goes from LEE 0–1 LEV at 27:39 to 1–1 at 27:41 and the scorer celebrates; the line runs over the game’s replay of the goal.
inaccurate The match is level; nothing on screen has Leeds ahead.
eFootball recording at 8:28.
So Leeds nudges ahead just before the half. The Leverkusen defense looks caught off guard—typical drama at the break. No rest for the pressed, eh? I’m watching who wakes up for the second half, because right now, it’s Leeds’ party.
What the frame shows. The scoreboard reads LEE 1–1 LEV at 45:54; the score has not changed since 27:41.
inaccurate Leeds took the lead, and he calls it a save with Leverkusen’s defense “holding up for now”.
eFootball recording at 11:57.
Goalie snatches it, quick save or a nervous grab? Leeds came knocking hard, Leverkusen’s defense holding up for now. The crowd’s ramping up, can’t blame them — close one. This match’s brewing storm isn’t cooling anytime soon.
What the frame shows. At 11:55 the scoreboard reads LEE 2–1 LEV at 72:10 with the scorer, 19 Noah Okafor; the line runs over the replay.
accurate A foul and a booking are what the game shows; the player’s mood is the one part he cannot see.
eFootball recording at 16:07.
Looks like a heated exchange—referee laying down the law, player not too pleased. That tension’s thick, late game jitters maybe? Curious if it’s about a foul or some simmering bad blood.
What the frame shows. A replay of a sliding challenge, then play resumes at LEE 3–2 LEV, 92:50, and at 16:14 the game shows “Booked: D. Calvert-Lewin”.
accurate The score and “Bayer had the ball more” both match the table.
eFootball recording at 17:18.
All wrapped up with Leeds sneaking past 3-2. Bayer had the ball more but couldn’t quite finish. Seems like Leeds’ defense and finishing gave them the edge. …
What the frame shows. The full-time table: Leeds W 3, Bayer 04 Leverkusen 2, possession 46% to 54%.
Recorded on an earlier Founder Alpha build (“ALPHA version” in the upload title): Leeds against Bayer Leverkusen, a 3–2 Leeds win.
He reads what the game prints (the player label, the 3–1 at 79:21, the booking notice, the full-time score and possession), but both Leeds goals scored in front of him, at 27:39 and 72:10, were described as saves, each time over the game’s replay.
Lines marked >> in the automatic captions include the stadium announcer and a post-match interview, which are game audio; every quoted line here is the Broker’s overlay bubble, and where a bubble runs to a second page only its first sentences are quoted.

What this does not show
The commentary you hear was generated by AI on an earlier Founder Alpha build; wording, timing and voice behaviour change between builds. The current public release is 1.0.0-alpha.12.
A line can be wrong, repeated or badly timed. Quiet stretches are normal: silence is a decision the Broker makes.
This is a recording from the developer’s own play session. It is not a benchmark, a compatibility promise for this game or a measurement of how often he speaks.
The app has no microphone input and no chat: whatever the Broker says is a reaction to what he saw, not to the player’s voice.
