New playoff design for future versions

mrowland · 06-06-2022, 09:54 AM

Or...for the current version if you feel it can be implemented...

The 1981 season was bizarre as we all know - with the work stoppage creating basically two "seasons," a first half and second half. Obviously occurring before the invention of the LDS, the first half division winner played the second half division winner in a best of 5 series, and then moved on to the LCS.

Some minor leagues also used this format historically, though I'm not sure if they still do (I know the Midwest AA league used to do this). I would love to see an option where we can modify our league structure to allow for a system like this. I'm still thinking through logistically how to make it work with the current MLB format of teams, but I'm sure we can come up with something.

Split-seasons are already an option for playoffs and have been for a while, unless I'm misunderstanding what you're asking for.

Unless it is hidden somewhere in the code, there is nothing on the options tab under the playoff settings. I looked back at an older version of the game from 2016 that I had and it did have this setting, I don't know why it isn't in this version. Again, unless it's buried somewhere else that is not intuitive.

You can't do split-season with a custom format.
