I actually like the way the paper looks in the current OOTP. I wouldn't need the "paper" to look like real paper. Simple white background, to me, blends better with the available facegen photos of OOTP. With different options of style it may grow on me if it looked like a real paper so I wouldn't argue against it being put in, just not high on my list. My biggest gripe, well only gripe really, with the current in-game paper is the lack of "big event" stories ala clinching divisions or playoff spots, outstanding performances, and the many things that have been talked about on the boards.
Are you wanting the game to produce a .pdf like your example? Or is this just a mockup of what OOTP could produce with backgrounds included (and maybe moddable) in the game? How would this affect the current paper that I can check everyday in game? I like the simplicity of checking the current paper daily and only having to peruse a few articles and not have to dig into several pages. I see this is a "season recap" paper so maybe in your vision the current daily paper won't be several pages but stay as is?
I like the stories, awards, and team photos. The team photo, while good, with the white background really sticks out. Maybe backgrounds could be added to the team photo like for the individual player photos. Would look nice having a team photo in front of the Ivy!
I don't like using the baseball cards for photos in the stories especially the back of the cards, doesn't look like a newspaper to me. I much prefer a simple photo as it would appear in a newspaper.
Don't get me wrong it is excellent work you have produced and appreciated. It will be interesting to see where the discussion goes.
