Might not, but I do think that including double-elimination playoffs is worth looking to for Markus (from my non-programmer position), just because it is a fairly well-recognized playoff format. That it's one of the big hurdles to a collegiate playstyle is just a bonus.
Wouldn't it be at least a little interesting to hold a four-team double-elimination tournament in each league (AL/NL) for a World Series spot? |

Not to me. I like things in a sim to be as much like the way they are in real life as is practical.

Completely agree. Whether I am doing an MLB sim or a fictional league, I have wanted to run the NCAA as closely to reality as possible. Not being able to at least do the real life eight-team double elimination CWS has been frustrating.

You guys are descending to the trivial.

Like most I continue too be befuddled as to why these seemingly simple things cannot be implemented.
I would like too see the classic 4 team weekend tourney where the home team invites 2 good teams and a cupcake. Home team whops cupcake in game 1. Game two has both the good teams go at it . Game 3 the loser good team gets to pound the cupcake. Game 4 the home team plays for tourney championship against the winner of game 2 I know these can be manually scheduled but would be nice too just slot the teams into their proper roles - lol |

It sounds like what you're really asking for is just Customizable Playoffs. The ability to design your own Playoff, regardless if its done the MLB way or the College way, or any other way you want to create.
Hasn't this been a long standing issue with OOTP, that Playoffs are not customizable enough? |

They do use "It's your game, play it your way" as a slogan though.

Which obviously means within the existing options. They don't use "Demand complicated and bizarre new options from us that only a handful of people will ever use but will require vast amounts of programming time," do they?

I highly doubt that double elimination format is something "that only a handful of people will ever use" though.

I'm reminded of this post from a similar discussion a while ago:
Quote:
I don't think anyone is "demanding" anything. The goal, imho, has got to be to eventually allow anything that any real life league does to be recreated in OOTP. That might take a hell of a lot of versions, but I don't think it's ridiculous. You are right that double elimination is probably not the easiest thing to add, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be mentioned. |

Lol ok man, in my opinion what draws a lot of people into OOTP is the ability to create your own baseball universe. That could be setting up fictional leagues or doing your own version of MLB with different rules. If majority of people wanted to just play by the exact same rules and set up as MLB I think most of us would probably just play MLB The Show(which is a great game btw) but the beauty of this game is to be able to do what ever you want and this company is great at listening to customers ideas for this game.

Whatever. I think it's a lot of pain for little gain.

Sometimes, getting a feature implemented properly ought to trump "practical" considerations. Otherwise the feature is really a half-feature. (And, as I said a little earlier, the three things which mark feeder leagues - i.e. high school and college leagues - from their professional counterparts are: (1) the double-elimination playoff format; (2) playoff qualification which is based on the division record rather than the overall record; and (3) an overall record which includes post-season games. If OOTP can get these three items incorporated, then feeder leagues pretty much have what they need to be almost fully realistic.) |

This is prefaced with the standard "I am not a programmer", but I don't think it would be that difficult to implement double-elimination. Right now, playoff series are set up as "best of X", which can also be interpreted as "lose four and you're done" (in a 7-game series). As an alternative, it could be set up as a standard four-team bracket with "lose two and you're done."
Just spitballing. |
