I was wondering if OOTP would consider adding this possible playoff model to its options. there have been articles posted online about an intriguing basketball tweak to their playoffs that seems much more suited for baseball.
It is scaled the best record gets a buy into the semifinals the other two division winners host three game series in the quarterfinals along with the top wild card. Now the second wild card and additional third and fourth wild cards make the playoffs. Instead of just 2 vs. 7, 3 vs. 6, and 4 vs. 5 the second division winner gets to choose between teams 5, 6, 7. Followed by the third division winner which gets to pick between the final two teams. Team 7 may be sub .500 but also might have been in a division with a teams that won 100 and 90 games. Anyway just a thought. This is actually being floated around the NBA but when talked about it is often said to be a better fit for Baseball.
