Best way to run playoffs only

Bledsoe · 08-31-2016, 01:47 PM

Hi guys,

I'd like to take the new roster set and run a sim of the current upcoming playoffs. What would be the best way to attack that. Best I can tell the best/only way is to run endless exhibition games, which of course doesn't account for pitcher fatigue or stat keeping. Any thoughts?

If you literally just want to run playoffs, I'd suggest doing something like deleting all the non-playoff teams, and setting up the teams you want in a tiny schedule, maybe even manually playing the games out to make sure you get the results that you want. Then you can just run it through a standard playoff bracket.

If you don't even want to do the games, you can just have a 0 game schedule, although you may have to customize the playoff rounds to make sure the teams match up as expected.

Could I just sim the season in total and then edit the teams in the playoffs at the end of the season?

Yeah, probably.

Ha ha. Love this idea. Just customize to include all 30 teams. You can even have all teams in one league in one division.

I would be tempted to add (or import) 2 more teams to make it an even 32 teams.
