I just hope some time was spent on improving the game recaps in OOTP21.

Markus, if you need some help writing them, I would be happy to help out... I would be glad to look at them in detail and make suggestions for improving the token construction and text.

One thing for sure, I could write enough of them to keep them from being repeated so often.
I could also edit the current library and get rid of some of the adjectives that rate a performance far higher than the actual event... I learned years ago in 2006 on the Beta Team News Team, not to use many adjectives unless they were controlled by conditions to limit their use... otherwise you get a News Stories that says Joe Smith had a terrific year at the plate with a .275 batting average...I also see similar things in the previous versions' game recaps... where it says the Player of the Game pitched a fantastic game, only giving up four runs in six innings.
