The Post Season in OOTP
My perception is that too often in the post-season in my OOTP leagues an overwhelming better team will lose to a team that statistically is nowhere near as good (I'm referring to 7 game series). Even when the team with the better record has a 'playoff built team' (Excellent 1-2 SP's, strong pen, MVP type batter, etc). Often times they get swept. This doesn't seem to take place nearly as often in real baseball.
Perceptions without data I realize are not strong arguments for making a case for the above. So, consider this an inquiry more than a 'complaint'. I'm wondering if the OOTP community finds my perception accurate, or not. I'm also wondering how OOTP leadership looks at this issue. Is there any type of 'built in' advantage to the higher seeded team? If not, is it a viable consideration?
Thanks
