Now the question then becomes whether or not you can schedule playoffs between two separate, individual leagues, or whether only sub-leagues of a league can play a post-season round(s) against each other.

I've been wondering this too. Say you have 6 leagues in your baseball universe, can you construct a playoff tree, or some kind of post season tournament, between them all?

It's been stated elsewhere that "tournament" styles of playoffs won't be there in the 2006 version of the game. But what happens otherwise hasn't really been stated.

If I had to speculate, I'd guess there is some kind of ability to set-up playoff rounds between separate, individual leagues. If playoffs were limited to just sub-leagues, that'd be a fairly big restriction.

Though with a league now able to hold up to 50 divisions, there would likely be workarounds of one kind or another possible.

Or, for that matter, a double elim series. Haven't thought of that.
Might be impossible anyway.

Double elim. Tourneys b/w league champs would be a big plus for me. If that's not possible, I would love to be able to atleast have some kind of playoff structure b/w leagues (as others have mentioned).

Picture this: The league I am contemplating will be 48 divisions total (one for each of the continental US). Each division having 4 teams from the state it represents. I would group states into a league of 6 (2 sub leagues with 3 states in each). So that would give me 8 leagues.

Each of the 8 leagues would have playoffs containing the champions of each state, and a wild card for each sub league. (So 4 team playoffs exactly like todays NL and AL playoffs).

I would then have the 2 champions of each sub league then play for the league title (which would then give me 8 league champions).

At this point, I would hopefully be able to put the 8 league champions into a tournament for a true National Championship.

I hope this makes sense as I am very tired while I write this lol. Anyway, this is what I am hoping to be able to do

I don't kow if this has been asked......Will computer teams minor league teams be managed better...... not having 10 players on roster and 150 free agents. for example.

This is all awesome! I have a question, though.

Say I have a MLB league, and I'm managing the Cubs and Corey Patterson. His stats have been bad the last two years, but his talent rating is still high (he's 25, say). I have a winter league team that has a top notch hitting coach. How would I move Corey down there for the winter to improve on his hitting game without having to trade him? I don't think I want to maintain a winter league with a team associated with each team; I would suspect that the league would have only 8 teams.

Would this be possible, or am I stuck with having him languish in the minors until he develops, or a team wants to trade for him?

Thanks
