yeah, using phonemes like you describe works horribly
yamaha has done a decent job, but it takes over 700mb of audio and lots (and lots and lots) of processing power... if its gonna sound like total ass, i rather them just say quarterback. Having you speak the name would work, but the headset mics suck and having two voices every sentence would annoy me personally
btw, the sportscenter clip has the redskins hit the packers 38-24, and shows brunnel's stats as 16 of 27, 411 yds, 4 TDs... thats a 26 yard completion average or 15 yards per passing attempt... hot damn...
the ESPN crew has much cleaner announcing (though slightly more annoying voice)... they use cross fades properly so it doesn't sound as horribly choppy as madden matchups do...
