News System

First off let me say that I am very happy with the new additions in OOTP6. I really like the new DIPS system, 40 man rosters, rule V drafts, etc. Well worth the money in my opinion.

That being said, I have been playing OOTP since version 4, and the news system has stayed exactly the same. I think this is something that could be enhanced to really improve the quality of the game. About a year ago I tried out PureSim Baseball. I didn't play it for too long, I just had too many problems with the free agency, and the AI just didn't compare to OOTP. However, I remember it having a really cool news system. There were regular (I think monthly) news reports that provided all sorts of interesting info about the league. Stuff like Top 10 players in OPS, best rookies... And the thing that was cool was that every month the categories were different.

I think something like this would get me way more into my OOTP leagues. How cool would it be to see an article comparing the top 5 rookies in the league, or the 10 pitchers who've allowed the fewest HR/IP? Anyway, just a suggestion for OOTP7... or somewhere down the road.
