Sports commentary

Open IntinteDAO opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Just my suggestion - I think you could try adding sports commentary to the game. Generally I see such possibilities here:

  • Generated by speech synthesizer (if there are no people willing to create it)
  • Created by fans

At first I think as a "demo" it could be generated. Some games have that, although they often just implement TTS.

The second part is the issues. I would introduce an option

  • Simple
  • Advanced

Simple would be based on generic phrases and would be the easiest for fans to implement. "Ball deflected by goalkeeper", "Striker already in the penalty area!", "Ball collected by central defender".

For the advanced option it is worth creating fictional teams - national and "ordinary". They would not (in my opinion) be based on a copy of real teams, but names, BIO would come from random databases (like John Smith) and create fictional completely characters with assigned roles. It seems to me that due to the lack of license trying to match people on a data affinity basis (Benzema - Benzina) works out poorly.

There are still a lot of things to do on the engine that commentary should be one of the lasts on the todo list.

Hi @IntinteDAO! That's a nice suggestion, I am always happy to accept a pull request. But I agree with @acoppola that there are more urgent issues in the engine to address now.
