Voices

With the improvements to the game the Christmas update gave us the game does go from strength to strength.

If the quite ones could be voiced it would bring a further improvement and add to the overall game experience.

Surely EA could have raided the archives from the platform games they produced or even approach Fox for something directly from the programme if they couldn't get the voice actors to provide something for the game?

Don't forget Hank Scorpio

Just a thought, why doesn't Millhouse, Martin, fat Tony and Mrs Krabappel talk !!!!!

The main characters are contracted to supply voices whereas guest stars are not and the only way EA coud do it is via people buying donuts, which everyone complains about.

I'd love to get a definitive answer on this; is it impossible to use these voices, because of contracts, or is it just that it would cost EA more money? From my understanding, all the voices in the game come straight from the series - so even Troy McClure could technically be voiced.

If it's just a money issue, I would gladly pay donuts to have some of these silent characters voiced. The voices are the icing on the cake, for me. Dr. Nick is my new favorite.

Thought I had just given a definitive answer

Lloyd68, sorry buddy I smell a large pile of b/s.

The game was fully developed with characters and released before any donuts were purchased so to blame players who haven't bought donuts is nonsense. The game as we are continually reminded is a free game if you want it to be so if nobody gets donuts what happens then?

I am certain that EA could find a fix for this issue and as for donuts, I still think they are overpriced and if they were less expensive even more players would buy them so EA would still make shed loads of cash from the game, I'd go so far to say even more than they are making with the current price structure.

It's not b/s it's common business, it's a freemium game not a free game, it's not plastered with pop up adds, so the only way EA make any money is via donuts, and further to that the only way that they would pay royalties for extra character voices.

Lloyd68, sorry you've still missed the point.

It is not a freemium game, it is a free game and we are continually reminded of this fact.

You are under no obligation to buy donuts whatsoever, although I will concede that buying donuts might enhance the overall gaming experience.

IMO this game would not have been half the game it is without the likes of Milhouse and Krabappel for example and knowing that they were going to be in game EA should have taken the appropriate steps before the game was developed and released.

Sorry, but I guess I'm missing it as well. It isn't a freemium game? Really?

Sorry Jules, not wanting to get into a debate, but the game is free to play, and you can by premium items to enhance your play, hence a freemium game.

I really hope EA does whatever it takes to get these characters with guest voices the ability to speak.
