MiLB playoff rules in presets...

...why are all of the MiLB playoff rules (or at least most of them) set up to be longer playoff series' than their real-life counterparts. I remember it used to be best of five for the first rounds of each playoffs, and best of seven after that, now it's best of three in the first round, and best of five after that. Granted, that's an improvement over what it used to be, but the real-life leagues, at the lower levels, have best of three playoffs at most, and the AZL and GCL both use one-game playoffs in the pre-championship rounds.

Just a thought. I know the Midwest League format isn't realistic, but would expect better. Not that OOTP doesn't make a great game, they do, but this would be just another slight improvement.
