Stock news stories/commentary
I don't think there's a way to do this for sharing for others, but if there is...can someone let us know?
Otherwise, would like to create a thread for contributing more news stories for next year's version. Folks mentioned the lack of fan interest/engagement stories and that seems weird in a social media age. I'd love to do some stories from the team's social media department or from other areas of the franchise that the GM would hear from periodically to let him know when they've taken a hit on fan interest because of this thing or that thing. Like when a player gets suspended for drugs. Or when the GM trades a "very popular" player. Or when a guy gets signed at the deadline and peaks popularity. Seems like a valuable edition, the components are there, mostly just needs stories. I can model it in my own league easily, but since you can't share that with others...wondering the best way to put it out there.

Just please include a way to turn off these social media stories. It will really destroy the immersion to have Twitter and Facebook in my 1960's leagues.

I doubt it'll happen at all. I was just kicking around ideas. I was more interested in whether or not there's a way to add stock stories period so people could download them. Not so much specifically about social media, just anything.

I like that idea. If they could be bundled in a pack, you could tailor them to certain eras like Questdog's name mod.

So it'd be a feature for them more than anybody, but still lots of people who play solo and never touch an online league.

Come on, you know that given the chance, Babe Ruth would be a Tweeting machine.

This would be great. I have a suggestions thread for new news items up in the Suggestions area, but having it as a Mod could work well too.

This is still a needed feature five years later. It's insane that we can't improve the news stories. Not everyone plays in an online league or Perfect team, throw the solo/off-line players a bone.

What exactly are you talking about? The short news items like "player finds his lost dog"? Or are you talking about storylines? Either way, I don't see what's preventing people from suggesting stories themselves. In particular, if you have any storyline ideas you'd like to see incorporated into the game, I'd be delighted to hear them.

The first post already outlines what I meant. Right now, the game is not consistent about telling you when things happen if you're not following along. It should be easier to track what's happening. You never know when a team retires a number and there's still nowhere to track all of the suspensions in a league at a given time, which is like...basic. We also can't track a team's playoff appearances with any real specificity, it's just the little "x" inside the almanac and the little "at a glance" but nothing else. But if there were an ability to add them like storylines in a .xml file [which is clunky but better than nothing] then people could write news stories and add a bit of "journalistic flair" to the stuff that already gets generated rather than the same format we've seen for over a decade now.

You made me laugh sooooo hard!
3 AM, drunk as a skunk, a 'lady friend' in tow, and the Babe reaches over to tweet...that's a picture you can't unsee.
