As I said before Brad, NNTR (no need to reply).

I was going to jump in and chide the old farts for not actually helping but... at the same time, this is a public forum and I'm sorry but you don't get to screen who replies and who doesn't reply to your posts.
To your larger question (to provide the illusion of help, heh) I think you were probably just unlucky. There are some builds that carry a little better into the postseason than others - you will rarely use the back end of your rotation, for example, and having a bullpen with 3-4 great relievers instead of 7 OK ones will carry you further - but since you kind of didn't provide any actual information about your team, all we can do is speculate. I also think that having players with bad platoon splits can come to bite you a little harder in the postseason as well, although that's also kind of a function of luck in the modern era - if you've got a roster full of lefties, for example, sometimes you'll just play rounds against teams that don't have strong left-handed pitching and you'll just get away with it. Also, fielding in OOTP is super important, arguably more important than IRL, but that is usually baked in to your regular season record.
So, like, probably luck. But who knows?
