Playoff awareness for game reports

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.

I like that idea, but more importantly, I would like to have HAL manage games with playoff awareness as well.
IMO he manages every playoff game as if it were a regular season game. No urgency in the player moves and decision making.
