Is this a known issue or just a 'glitch'

Take a look at the National Wildcard standings. (Lower Right of the screenshot)

Vancouver shows as "-" in the 'Games Back' column. That means zero games back or 'tied', correct?

That whole section seems to be screwed up?

do you have multiple wild cards on? GB is GB of last wild card team

hopeful1212 · 04-26-2013, 01:30 AM

Yeah, looks like multiple wildcards to me too. Those screens are correct if there are 2 wildcards in each league (which is the current MLB playoff format).

What the others said is absolutely correct. Vancouver is tied for the second wildcard spot. MLB type setup is default 2 wildcard spots per SL.

Hi,

I can confirm what Bigrod and hopeful1212 said that this is not a bug nor is it a glitch. In the MLB type setup, you can have 2 or possibly more wildcard teams.

Vancouver is indeed 0 games back of the final WC slot, as they hold that slot.

However, Indianapolis should probably display as "+8" because they are eight games ahead of the final WC slot.

Yeah, you could do it either way I suppose.

In 2012, MLB.com did it the way you suggest: Wild Card Standings | MLB.com: Standings

And ESPN did it like OOTP: MLB Wild Card Standings 2012 - ESPN

The first way IS more informative.

Aaaahhhhh - Doh!!

I was excited to play around w/the new options on playoffs and completely spaced that I DID set it up for a 2 team WC play-in for the playoffs.

Old dog - new tricks - yadda yadda - I'm a dork

Thanks for the soft landing gents
