I agree with your assessment. Basically all you read is shutout stories.
The game needs a lot of improvements in the News. We are very slowly getting there.
One of the best new features of recent vintage IMO is the Game Write-up feature.
What I do is write my own news stories after each game. I recap every one of them. That way I can cover team winning and losing streaks...players hitting streaks...new team and individual records...etc.
I will be able to cover each playoff game and the all-star game.
You can also create your own news stories, too.
