This is my only pet peeve in sports as far as the entertainment part goes. I hate how too many teams make the playoffs in sports. Making the playoffs is supposed to be a reward for being a very good team in the regular season. You play 16 regular season games and 1 playoff loss and your season is over. So being very good in the regular season should be rewarded.
Making the playoffs is supposed to be, in theory, a celebration of triumph. When you put half the league into the playoffs how much of a triumph is it?
I realize it's only 2 extra teams making the playoffs. But with 12 teams making the playoffs,
12 in
20 out.
14 in
18 out.
Even though it's only 2 more teams making the playoffs, it looks a lot worse to me. You're almost putting half the teams in the playoffs. Putting almost half the teams into the playoffs destroys the reward for making it into them.
I'm not sure if this could happen because I don't know the program algorithm but if it's not a hassle and if the NFL changes the playoff field size can we have the option in the game settings to change the playoff field size to 12?
