Playoff awareness for game reports
Posted: Mon Sep 03, 2012 10:35 pm
I wonder if it would be possible to have the write-ups of playoff games rewritten to show awareness that a game actually is in the playoffs. Right now, if a team wins a ring, or goes ahead 3-0, or catches up in game 6, there's no reflection of that in the write-up of the game. It's treated just like an routine mid-season event.
When I swept a finals recently the game 4 headline was: "Hank Aaron hits 2 HRs in 6-3 loss to Cougars17". So?? Was that really the story? "Cougars17 sweep series and win championship" might have been a more thrilling headline."
I think having the write-ups reflect an awareness of the playoffs would create a greater sense of realism and excitement.
