the "other names" in Season and Success modes? For instance: Sedlacek, Nishi, etc. I just need to find out what they all are and make some cool new players for y'all.

Thanks!

you mean like themed names (i.e. G. White, Tiger for GalaxySharks, Onion, Pickles for Burgers) or just names?

Many of them are here

wiki/index.php?title=Name_List

Although the game pronounces a great many that aren't listed - Reed, Sakata, Nolen, etc.

Check out my custom team for some ideas of the names that can be pronounced by the game engine.

They're still in the game. They recycle names each year.

what you can do is search voices in the edit players menu. All you have to do is type the first letter of a name and you will see a list of every name starting with that letter.

I'm compiling a list of names - many from that original page, some from the expansion teams I've created, and a random smattering of others I've found by accident. I have 158 pronouncable names so far, but I'll add to this as I can.

Searching on the names is good, but that only shows players; other names like Reed and Stone aren't assigned to anyone, and no rookies are generated with those names...but if you type them in exactly, the game can pronounce them.

Code:
Aceves
Andrew
Andrews
Arteaga
Artiles
Ashby
Bailey
Bakey
Bannister
Barden
Barker
Barry
Barzilla
Basner
Beattie

Yah, I'll include those, or whichever ones are normal; names like 'Five' and 'Rocket' are nicknames, not names...so i'd either leave them out or put them in a different category.

Added: Ransom, Ormond, Bonilla, Snead

Tested: Van Hekke - although it shows up often, I can't get either game (07 or 08) to pronounce this name. So I will remove it.

any others, let me know, I'll add them and keep editing it.

Um, try VANHEKKE like that. Because De Vore is DEVORE for the voice.
Also, try MLB Life mode. There's a LOT of names like that.

I found it - it's actually VAN HEKKEN.

The game just cuts it off after so many characters, just like Colamarin = Colamarino, and Valenzuel = Valenzuela.

The name plate cuts off at 9 characters...which explains why all the Greats have such short last names.
