Now you're talking my kind of features. I get absolutely crazy excited over the idea of voice iteraction, and feel bad having to report that none of that made it back into NFL Head Coach 09.
The decision was made early on (and rightly so) to focus on making this game the deepest and most authentic sports simulation ever. The work required to achieve that vision unfortunately didn't leave time for any voice interaction. Voice interaction is one of those things that, in my mind, has to be perfect in order for it to succeed or else it comes across as forced and not very well thought out. Despite how much we
wanted to do it, the team wasn't confident that we could deliver a high quality voice experience with the amount of work that
had to be done.
If I have anything to say about it, look for this to be
blown out in a future version of the NFL Head Coach franchise.
