Mlb 19 the Show: Database of voice files for first and last names

[Karle]

In MLB 17 the Show one of the legends was Cy Young. I recall the announcer using his name. Thus I was very surprised that "Cy" or "Sy" do not appear in the list of first name voice files. In MLB 18 the Show I believe the announcer referred to a player last name of "Brothers" or "Brouthers", though this last name does not appear in the database of last names available for editing players.

My question is this: Does anyone know whether the database of voice files for first and last names is growing or is there a maximum file size requiring that some names be deleted to make room for others.

Also assuming there is no limit, why would SDS not add all that there are created sound files for.

I for one hope that the list is growing. I agree that every pronunciation should be available to add to a created player.

Maybe it's too much to create, but I'd love a phonetic option for the more unique names.

You mean like how it lists "Cofaxx" in the RTTS name list for what is clearly supposed to be Sandy Koufax? It's even pronounced the same. That HAD to be intentional.

I know Sandy Koufax is a very private man, but I didn't think he'd make SDS afraid of lawsuits for using his name...

Imagine if we got stuck with the weird names shown here.

Cobby Box from one of the old PC games. And Theodore Kettles in Front Page Sports Football for Colts (I think) running back Roosevelt Potts was another favorite of mine.

Question: a while ago I thought folks were indicating one of the Gb hogs was audio files, so when the Show has "Cy" or "Sy" in the database and Matt V says the exact same audio:
1. Is the concern about disc space and audio file size a real thing that could limit what is included (yes some of us still use disc) and
B. would such entries be 2 files and 2 entries, or two ways of spelling the name but both open the same audio file?

If disc space/game size is impacted by audio, and they have 3 files for Jon, Jhon, John, that would be 'silly'. Hopefully I'm wrong (as I usually am).

I'd just settle for having my last name pronounced correctly in the game LOL. There's one that's close at least.

It's growing as he's saying names of irl players like Benintendi now. Now WHY we can't name a player Hideo Benintendi and have the name said, idk. The game can say "Benintendi", why can't we pick it?

I think it will continue to grow as rookies and such arrive. When we can actually use the names for fictionals...

This is too much

Ron Cey's last name they mess up half the time. They pronounced it like see and say
Say is the correct way to pronounce it.

Also Moose Skowron "Skow" should sound like cow
