Playoff Series Length

PadresFan · 04-06-2002, 08:02 AM

Is there a way I can make my LCS a best of 5 instead of a best of 7? I am playing a fictional career league with two leagues and 2 divisions of 6 teams per league.

Thanks!

Not that I know of.... you might want to try simulating a test season, and when you get to the playoffs, editing the series in the schedule editor to remove games 6 and 7... maybe that would work, but no guarentees on this... you'll have to try it and see.

Well I tried that idea in OOTP3 and it didn't work. It added back the 6th and 7th games when it reached the point where a team had won 3 games in the series.

Maybe it's different in OOTP4 (but I wouldn't think so).

Having adjustable series lengths for playoffs would be one of my biggest requests for any future additions to the game...
