It just takes three steps that even the most technophobic gamer can accomplish:

1. Open up English.xml with Notepad.
2. Search for Dale and Eli's Dad and replace it with something else.
3. Save the file.

You could have done that in the time it took you to post in this thread. Creating a wholly vanilla file would take a little more effort, but as BigCity pointed out, after 6.5, the whole board was filled with people begging for more colorful play-by-play.

I'm not trying be all "It's fine the way it is" about it. I agree that there's still room for improvement, particularly regarding some of the strange combinations of plays. But, at least there's the possibility of taking things into your own hands here, and if there are enough people around who want a more plain version, put your heads together and create one!

I'm kinda getting sick of relying on mods to be honest with you.
