An idea for FM2010 or possibly FM2011, maybe FM2012 or further, but hopefully one day

An idea I would love to see implemented into the game for more realism would be voice recognition. I know it would be hard probably to implement, but it would be fun to shout out praise or criticism to my players, even though my family would think I am a nutter talking to my laptop, I dont care about looking like an idiot, its too late for me;)

Any thoughts about this?

I like to watch tv, listen to music, drink beer when playing footy manager, so i doubt i could be bothered with speaking to my laptop. Not a bad idea though.

What's the point? Any voice recognition software designed for word processing doesn't even work properly anyway. This wouldn't add anything to the game whatsoever.

maybe in 2030

aye, it'd take a lot of programming and is extremely hard to implement, especially with all the options

How about, rather than voice recognition, we get some form of extension on the 3d view. Like an option to view from like a virtual dugout knid of thing! Its not that important though!

Voice recognition technology is out there already, but it is so frustrating! Have you ever called a call centre of some description and had to speak your details down the phone? And then say them again as you get a computerised voice answer saying something like "sorry we didnt understand that"?

Can imagine it now......

Me - "Ronaldo, your playing great, keep it up"

Ronaldo - " Sorry, i couldnt process your request at this time, please try later"

maybe in 2030

Great idea but defo nearer 2030!!!

Maybe not that far off tbf, I don't like the idea much but the new TOm Clancy RTS game on X360 has voice recognition that works very well so it could happen in the next 10 years.

Considering FM has never been an arcade game this idea is a little silly. However in 2052 or something when they've developed technology to cope with brain transference this may sound plausible as an idea

Never gonna happen. As mentioned, voice recognition is only works well for simple commands. FM is far too complex a game and I'd rather they concentrated their efforts in other areas. You can already get to where you want to within about 3 clicks as it is anyway.

Not a bad idea but unrealistic right now; but, on the same note i've always thought we should have a box or something where you can type in shouts if you want to tell a particular player a specific thing

My parents would love this! I'd pretty much have to move out!

Worst idea ever. I can you imagine shouting at the computer for 5 hours?

I'm sure plenty of people do that anyway, ya' know.

I Like the idea, I always liked to shout "Objection!" in a DS game. But with this laziness of SI 2010+ if we are very very lucky.

Sounds like a bit of a far flung technology due to the range of words that the game would have to understand.

In a similar vein, what I would like to see is have free text based responses to the media automatically uploaded to a SI Games server, where SI could pick some relevant ones and create game responses to those answers (in the form of impact to morale etc as well as additional media questions) to be added via patches. This would lend more depth to the media aspect of the game.

What the hell are you talking about? I could probably guarantee that they do more work than you. Now stop trolling FFS.

That's a good idea

Nah, doesnt do it for me. SI should concentrate on perfecting (or as near as they can) everything currently in the game especially the match engine. Maybe one day in about 25 years time.

I suppose it doesnt have to start complex, simple commands like well done, or pull up your socks would do

Laziness of SI? What do you mean? FM 2009 has included many hard-to-implement new features that must have taken alot of hard work by the developers. The laziness of your post is perhaps more relevant.
