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.

Thanks for the honest answer and I agree with your assessment, if it's not done right it's not worth having in the game because I wouldn't even use the headset if the voice interaction felt tacked-on. In the first HeadCoach I stopped using the headset to call plays because it took multiple tries before the system to respond to my voice commands. Hopefully you guys will have the time/resources to get it into the next iteration of the game
