A one-screen look at the top 3 statistical leaders in each league that updates on the fly
As someone who quick-sims a lot and prefers a very broad overview, this is very critical to letting me know at a glance who some of the best players in the league are.
Plus, if I'm tracking a certain milestone, such as .400 BA or 60 HR or a sub-2.00 ERA for the season, the fast-update of this screen allows me to see that in real-time without having to pause the game, go look at the league leaderboards, then start simming again, etc. It creates a real sense of excitement when you're watching the sim fly by and eyeing that hitter or pitcher.
For those who prefer a more leisurely pace, simply having that information on all one screen is still a very nice basic reference for who the top players in the league are and make a great starting point.
2K7's Advantages Over 6.5
A cleaner, easier to read font
In my opinion, this is the sole advantage of 2K7 over 6.5 on this screen. Admittedly, the games played and magic # could appeal to some, but since the magic # appears late-season in 6.5 anyway, the only information benefit would be games played, and I don't know how many people see that as a vital statistic to know.

If your just simmimg games, when you quick sim a more than a day at a time the old 6.5 screen with the top 3 leaders and news stories come up. This is the only time you can see a quick updating leaders screen.
I see games played as a vital stat. It's good to know in leagues that have real schedules if the teams around you have played more or less games than you. For leagues that play OOTP created schedules, this isn't a vital information.
