The following suggestion may sound utterly ridiculous but im just a little curious if Ross has/will/would ever consider it, and what PC members want their commentary to be.
As sports games become more realistic, one of the things that is often lambasted most is the commentary.
I often wonder if we "need" real world commentators. Bill Lawry is one of the more animated excitable commentators in world cricket yet when he appeared in a relatively recent cricket game (cant remember off the top of my head which one) it was embarrassing. Total lack of anything that makes Bill, "Bill"..
Ive often wondered why sports games dont use voice actors.
For example Big Ant could create a fictional set of commentators set to a fictional network the broadcast style of gameplay the game uses.
Using voice actors could get the level of excitement, animation, emotion that sports requires, not to mention possibly greater access for multiple recording sessions and (maybe) a more modest budget.
If well written, these fictional characters could become an important asset, that could cross-over to other sports games the studio creates and become synonymous with the "brand". I'd like to see what other PC members like to get out of a games commentary. Is it important? Is it just Background noise? Is my suggestion as ridiculous as it seems as i proof read it?
