Not so much making the regular season a total crapshoot, but there's got to be a way to make making the post season alot harder than what it currently is.I would love to have a team go on a run winning 100+ for a few seasons in a row but then all of sudden win only 80 games and not make the playoffs. Not saying it should be randon, b/c it definitely shouldn't, I'm just saying it should be difficult and alot of hard work to make the playoffs. I guess that's where we're back to the 'Touger AI' suggestion.Just wanted to make a mention of this
I certainly don't think its too easy to win in the playoffs, as I've had some very good teams go down prematurely. Although I do have to agree that the regular season is usually so easy that the playoffs to me seem like the real season. I would really like better team-building logic in the AI, where they would be more pro-active in filling their holes with trades that make sense, as well as smart enough to not let good players go through waivers.
