Design your own broadcast team and then listen to them call the games in their unique style. And not just scripted play by play, but they can hold actual conversations like a real broadcast. Are we anywhere close to that with technology that a game like OOTP can take advantage of? Probably not. But I can dream, and in 5-10 years... Who knows? This would be an absolute game changer for the sports simulation genre.

Having a volunteer do the work needed to provide AI with enough data to work with would be an interesting compromise, although a. it’s still nowhere near inexpensive enough to send out to every single user unless OOTPD wanted to jack up the price of the game way, way higher than it is now, and b. even that level has its own ethical and moral issues (what if someone gets the AI to say something gross and posts it online? What steps does that volunteer need to take to ensure their identity will now not be stolen?).
