News about the Tour

Postby Clog » Tue, 05 Feb 2013 10:46

Hello everybody. :)

I was just wondering if Cro Morgan was busy ? I didn't read all the news but it seems like he's the only one who writes them (am I right ?), and I have to admit I kinda expected much more news since this is the Australian Open. We just had one article about the QF, and I think it would have been great to read more about the tournament. We even had just a few articles about exclusively finals during the past few weeks.
I nocited it because this is the Australian Open right now, but I already thought about it before. At first, I thought that was a "regular frequency", but I just checked the Paris-Bercy tournament from last year, and there was plenty of articles about it.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not accusating or criticizing Cro Morgan (I don't even know him, and he may be busy as all of us :)). I may be the only one who has this much pleasure reading news on the Home Page of the website (I actually find those news are well written, honestly), but I really think it brings life on the tour in a really cool way, that's different from just reading reports on the forum. Actually, my favorite part in those news is reading the players' reaction, reading what they said after the match. I could also read it on the forum, but Cro Morgan puts it well into a real "ATP News simulation" context. I guess creating sort of interviews by PM would be a great idea, even if we can't force people to talk. :)

But I guess there are a lot of possible topics ; news about the new ranking after big tournaments, about surprising victories, or even about anticipating big tournaments by talking about the rivalries, etc...

I'm agree with you, news brings life on the tour, and always is interesting to read Cro's articles. But the main problem is that actually Cro is the only one who write notices for the THREE TOURS (PS3, XBOX and TE), and thats a lot of work.

I remember that in the TS4 PS3 tour, Biscaia helped to write the News, and he also wrote very good articles, so maybe some help would be welcome. :)

If I remember it correctly, back then (around Valencia Open, Paris-Bercy) Cro was on vacation and so he had time to put out News on an incredible pace -- now this has slowed down. Cro writes very good news, so I'm all for quality over quantity, however I wouldn't mind an armada of Cro's. :c Sometimes he only has little information for his news (I have to smile when players write match reports like "I won the match." when I'm hosting that tournament :mrgreen: ).

The idea of interviews, kind of post-match press conferences is good, but even more time-consuming -- both for the player and the news writer.

I think C4iLL did some good news for the Xbox360 Tour:

Example 1

Example 2

Looking at this concise and spot-on assessment of the AO SFs on the TE Tour, he still knows how to do it. ;)
