My last two regular seasons have been amazing, but a total waste of my time with the garbage playoff results.

I went 119-43 last season and 128-34 this season in perfect leagues. I know I got swept last year, but this year is even more of a joke. My team ERA is 2.89 for the season and I was 71-10 at home. First two games of the playoffs at home, I have given up 28 runs! Mariano Rivera gave up 10 runs in 57 innings all season but gives up 6 in 1/3 of an inning in the playoffs? Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Sorry, but I call total BS on all of this. In my last 12 regular season games, I gave up 29 runs, then give up 28 runs in two playoff games at home! I lost game three 4-2. Do I expect to win a title every year? I do not, but to get swept out of the opening round of the playoffs in back to back seasons with the teams I have assembled is unrealistic in every way.

I am done. I see no point in the effort put into the regular season, only to see it not matter one bit in the playoffs. It is quite obvious to me that the playoffs are completely random, especially looking at other leagues as well. The game has been deleted from my computer and I will never spend another dime supporting this game or any OOTP product again.

I played OOTP for years before Perfect Team came along. Many times I dominated the regular season only to lose in the playoffs. It happens. I still enjoy the game. Isn't it great that it is such a challenge to win a Perfect League championship? After all, it is the pinnacle. More fun to have it take awhile then win it in one shot. It gives you something to keep playing for.
