Now THIS idea I really like. Markus has stated that certain batters are 'programmed' to do better against certain pitchers and vice versa. Why not have players 'programmed' to do better in the playoffs (or in spring training)? If you include a clutch reputation rating in the game, then you may or may not have an actual clutch rating. The players won't know whether the reputation is justified by coding, or if it's just coincidence ('sample size').

Sounds like the perfect solution.
