Adding our own real names to the commentators' vocabulary

Unless you happen to have a name that is also the name of a player in the game, you never get to hear your name called, and have to use either some random nickname already programmed in, or nothing at all.

My name is 'Karkoulias'. So I'm screwed.

I propose an audio editor during 'Create a Player'. Every name in the game, first and last, would be available to have portions or even syllables copied to create a new soundfile that would attach to your created player. For example, to have James, Ray and CarrLyn say 'Glove save by Karkoulias', and not just 'Glove save by the goalie!', I could take the 'Car' from Jeff Carter, 'Cou' from Sean Couturier, 'Lee' from Anders Lee, and 'As' from Radko Gudas.

Edit them together in an audio editor and James would actually be saying, 'Carcouleeas', but it would sound like Karkoulias. Maybe a bit disjointed, depending on how the edits blend together, but I think it'd be really cool to hear own names.

    The suggestion is definitely appreciated. I'll be sure to pass it on to the team. It would certainly be a fun feature to have! Thanks again 🙂

  • I suggested this way back in the NHL 15 era.  The problem with it was apparent even back then - it would frighten the voice actors' union that EA would just simulate all commentary and EA has such a bad reputation with voice actors as it is that no one would be willing to give their voice to such a feature.

    This would be really cool to have. It's probably a pretty complicated feature to develop though. Regardless, it would be a fun feature and add to the overall immersion for those like yourself with less common names. I think it would be best for offline play only though. People would no doubt use this to create offensive names for online play.

    I only play BAP, so offline only would be fine with me 😉

    I also thought of the obvious offensive names people woule create, and also figured it'd be a difficult feature to implement in any case, but if it could be done, even just for offline, it'd be awesome. Then, for later editions, perhaps figure a way for particular syllables or edits to be restricted for online play.
