But what if your or an opponent’s team have kit colours that make that commentary hard or impossible to read? Or if you suffer from colour blindness? There is a way to change to the text commentary colours on FM22 to make them easier for everyone to read.

There may be a short delay now, as FM22 reloads the graphics skin. Don’t panic, it shouldn’t crash the game or lose any progress in your current match. The action is paused if you’ve not manually done so already.
When it returns, you should find the text commentary is now in black and white for both teams, making it much easier to read, as you can see below:
