In regards to playoff customizability, I'll point out once again I have already put forward a detailed and thorough customization system proposal* during beta a couple of years ago. It included byes, double elimination, and even round-robin possibilities. The only thing it didn't include were certain specialized formats (e.g. the Korean Baseball Organization's staggered playoff system) that I couldn't figure out how to put within the user-driven menu selection system I was proposing, and other specialized formats that I wasn't aware of at the time.

The customizability in playoffs that are currently in the game are the rudimentary version of that proposal. There was simply far too much for Markus to put it in at one go.

So, in summary, the road map to nearly total playoff customization is there. It's a matter of the rest of the system being prioritized in terms of when it might be implemented (assuming there are certain coding issues related to it that might make implementing it difficult).


*The proposal document ran thirty pages. Though about half of that was taken up with screenshots illustrating examples of how different playoff formats could be created.
