I feel compelled to point out, as the author of them, that OOTP does have customizable playoffs now. Yes, they are not as customizable as some would like, but you can do a fair amount with what's in the game right now. (Shaughnessy playoff format, anyone?
)
That said, I will note that the original design document I submitted contained many more features than made it into the game. For example, there is no mention in the opening post of playoff systems which involve a round-robin affair in the first round. I included these in the document.
So Markus has a decent road map to follow, should he choose to take the journey.

That's incorrect. The playoff format involves the first and second half winners in each division plus one wild card qualifier from each division (the non-division winning club with the best overall record). Should a team win the division in both halves of the season, then two wild card teams qualify out of that division.
