how to translate exactly this expression : to bang on about something extracted from a soccer videogame?
The "aficionados" will bang on about the control system and the quality of the artificial intelligence given to the computer opponents.
Les passionnés décrieront le système de contrôle et la qualité de l’intelligence artificielle des équipes adverses.
J'avais noté "hurleront à l'encontre de" au début.

In response to your note...
Well the preceding sentence is pretty positive so I would have thought so.
It depends what follows .. is there a "but" or a "however" ?

Note from asker:
| more context can help: X has taken the rather brave step of redesigning the game engine with new controls, moves and options that have made a good game even better. The aficionados of the original will bang on about the control system and the quality of the artificial intelligence given to the computer opponents. is it still the meaning not to stop talking about something in a positive way? |
| merci pour vos suggestions à tous, finalement, j'ai mis :"vanteront inlassablement les mérites de..." |

laïusser
Just a note in passing to suggest this verb, in an equivalent register, I think, suggested by Robert + Collins

I agree: that is certainly the usual meaning of 'to bang on about', but I don't think the word is used very well in the EN phrase here.
However, I thought it was just worth mentioning in passing in case it might help future users of this glossary

n'avoir que cela à la bouche
une idée ; malheureusement, je ne trouve pas la formulation idéale, il faudrait modifier la tournure de la phrase...
les fans n'auront plus que cela à la bouche : le système de contrôle et la qualité....
Peut mieux faire ...

: I think that's slightly skewed from the meaning of the original // No, it's really "laïusser" — not 'to talk about nothing else', but rather 'to not stop talking about' // De rien ! :-)

Pourtant l'expression veut bien dire "ne parler que de cela"//Ok d'accord, merci pour la précision
