Expanding on sound over the next few posts...

Suggestion
Broadcast Mode: Build a text reader into OOTP to allow Play-by-Play and news stories to be read aloud. This would require the need for pronunciation keys to be added for all players/personnel, as well as team and stadium names, and anything else within the game that uses proper names. (Of course, these would also have to be built into the names files to accomodate the international names that are generated.) Additionally, there could be an option to tweak the text reader voices to allow for the creation of customized "announcers", which could be assigned to specific teams.

Reason
As stated previously, it would greatly add to the immersion factor. It's one thing to see the name of a fictional player displayed in the game, but imagine actually hearing his name announced in the PbP! This would really "bring the player to life", in my opinion.

Priority
MEDIUM, but MAN would that be cool!
