I have been playing OOTP for a week and a half and it's pretty neat to watch the pennant races take shape between all the different teams.

I am playing a league with historical players and fictional teams. Each "owner" has chosen their favorite players of all time - 1870-present) and the best year on which to base their performance. My team's roster features Stan Musial, Ted Williams, Christy Mathewson, as well as John Smoltz and Mike Young.

I like how you can have the computer manager (as configured by each "owner") make roster changes, trades, etc. as the season progresses. The League's and Teams' home pages read like a newspaper during the regular season, announcing big games, players of the week, roster moves. That's really gives the game "color" and adds another layer of realism to the game.

However during the all star game and the play offs, the goes went "dark." There wasn't one news story on play offs or world series games... not even a recap of the season or the championship team. It was even hard to find the links to the results, not to mention box scores and play by plays. How can I configure the game so that the League and Team "news" gives the same amount of detail and "color" as it does during the regular season?
