Teams promoted 89,87 86 wins teams not promoted win totals of 97,95,90,90 and one was even a division winner make it make sense I mean I do not understand it and I’ve been watching sports with real pro/rel
Over thirty years and it’s stupid just shows you what this game is all about or made for not reality but reality of purchases

OK, first of all, this is the second time you've made a thread about how you believe promotion/relegation is a "joke" in Perfect Team. In fact, it's the exact same title as your first thread. So, let's rehash a few key details from that other thread - that was made just last month! - that are an explanation of how the game works, and why the pro/rel is being done correctly:
- You said in the initial thread that "the playoffs aren't based by wins its based off of place in division standing". However, that was debunked very quickly - Winning a division gets you into the playoffs (which is the only situation where division placement matters), and the Wild Cards are based on number of wins from there.
- For relegation, it is strictly by overall record, which is the way it has always been in Perfect Team. It is not based on division standings, which you are incorrect in believing has anything to do with who gets relegated.
Now, let's examine the situation that you have discussed here, which I will admit is different than the last thread, and tell you why everything is in order.
You mention a team with 86 wins that finished fourth in their division getting promoted to the league above. This means that this team got into the playoffs in probably a very tough division with good teams that had winning records above them, and got in as the final seed in their conference, and made a deep run in the playoffs. It is very much possible, given how pro/rel works in the game, that this can happen, and I have seen this happen in multiple leagues before, even at the highest levels of the game.
To that point about making a deep run, for the majority of leagues, the Top 6 teams get promoted. In Perfect Team, promotion is based strictly on
the finish of the teams in the postseason. That means the teams who get promoted are the
four teams that make it to the LCS round (2 per conference) and
two best teams that lost in the LDS round by regular season record.
So, in the situation that you described with that team that had 86 wins, and didn't win the World Series, that means they at the very least made it to the LCS round or were one of the two best records among those that lost the LDS round.
With that logic, a team that wins their division may not get promoted sometimes either; that could either mean they were a 3-seed in their conference who lost in the Wild Card round, or they lost in the LDS round but were not one of the two best records among those that lost the LDS round. And, while it may be shocking that a 97-win team might not have gotten promoted (I'd have to see screenshots to see exactly what's up with that), it could mean there were teams with 98, 99, 100, etc. wins that did better in the playoffs.
This is the way promotion has worked in PT since the very beginning back in PT19. This is nothing new.
