Player Name Audio

[Wayne8Rooney]

Would people be interested in populating a list of players that have audio for there name. When I play the game I find it makes the game seem more real when ANdy Gray says the players name. WHen I got John Obi Mikel on transfer along with Gareth Bale and Ustari, I was really suprised that they didn't have audio for their names.
Anyone else be interested in a list, don't want to make one if no one will use it? I could also prove useful if people want to add names with patches, that way they would know what ones are already done. So?

I used to make a list like this every year and do the same thing. If a player's name wasn' spoken, i.e. Micah Richard is 07, I'd use Soundmaster and copy the Dean Richards audio file to him. But this year ear I moved to Xbox 360 version and the commentary is different than the PC. Announcers says a whole lot of player's names in the English leagues, but not much outside of it. He even says some keepers names - when I send the ball back to keeper, he says, "and its passed back to Paddy Kenny." Commentary is quite strong this year.

I think that they should have names for players that they set to have substatial growth, such as Bojan. If they know Bojan is going to be good and most manager teams are going to have him. Why not have audio for him? Do they have a limited quota of names that the announcers agree to?

I'm with you W8R, I was surprised to find younger guys don't have their name mentioned, like Richards. Ben Sahar from QPR, I can understand him not being said, but why give him fantastic growth then? Mertsacker as well becomes one of the best CBs in the game and has no speech, same as Drenthe LWB.

I'm thinking that they don't design it for Manager mode, just for quick play and the such.

I noticed this as well, BUT there were a few exceptions

Sergio "kun" Aguero. He doesn't have his name stored for when he picks up the ball, but if you miss the target when shooting, you occaisionally get "oh that was a good chance but that's high and wide from Aguero"

G dos Santos. "It's a goal for dos Santos"

They're the only ones i know of.


Now, this is a bit long-winded, but please try and understand this:


I am thinking of trying to re-design the way FIFA does commentary (even though i'm only a layman like you guys) but i need a way to get the audio files from the game and get them into a regular format (mp3 etc.) The only way i can do it at the moment is with a microphone which is really poor quality.

Heres my idea:
You have the audio file, but you also have like digital markers at certain points in the audio file. EG. you have simply "Lampard" as an audio file, as it is now, for when he gets possession sometimes. How about breaking this down into 2 smaller parts like "Lam|pard".

During the loading phase of the game, in-built audio editing software would create numerous versions of this file and store them TEMPORARILY and only for that game. This would save a huge amount of space for repeated files.

BUT, what do I mean by altering the smaller parts?
Say you're playing as lampard, and take a shot from a fair way out. As you come in contact with the ball, commentators in real life go "Lam...paaAAARRRRRRDDDDD" if you get my drift. The first syllable of the name is slightly shorter, but the second syllable is much longer, and gets louder over time. Now, take this same template, and apply it to any other player with a 2 syllable name

"Ger....aaaaRRRRRDDDDDDD"
"Tev...eeeeeEEEEEZZZZ"
"Roo....nnnNNNNEEEEYYYY"

Its a bit hard to imagine unless i can get the sound files, but if anyone knows how i can get them (I've tried File Master 08, have exported the files, but don't know how to convert them to MP3 or equivilant)
