Handling Tiebreakers

chucksabr · 10-21-2013, 07:41 PM

The three things I would like to see are:

Automatically schedule and handle tiebreakers based on user preference: either through established MLB tie-breaking procedures, or via tiebreaker game or series.
If the user selects tiebreaking game/series, automatically establish playoff seedings based on the results, consistent with the playoff format chosen by the user.
Delay start of playoffs until two days after last tiebreaker game played.

Simple? or clear as mud?

This really needs to be looked at. Non-trivial Tiebreakers are one of the few things in OOTP that is broken.

I agree. Tie-breakers MUST be fixed in OOTP 15.

I would go along with this as long as the seedings are established correctly every time - in my experience the current system of allocating seedings (at least for later rounds of custom playoffs) sometimes does not work as expected.

Tiebreakers and seedings have certainly provided the biggest problems I have had with OOTP.
