Proceed to Playoffs Button

I just wish you could yourself designate what teams make the playoffs after the season, and schedule your own tie-breakers if needed. So, at the end of say 162 games, you have a few teams tied, you just go and schedule some extra games to break the tie as you like. Once your season ends, a button called "Proceed to Playoffs" appears, which will then take you to a screen where either the AI or you can designate the teams and seeding for playoffs. The benefit of this is that each person could also then decide how they want tie-breakers to be determined. For instance, suppose you want to run a league that breaks up ties based on runs scores, and doesn't even schedule a game. Or instead, suppose you want to have a three game series to break a tie....examples can go on and on, but the point is, given the user customization seems to solve this.

This would also allow each person to solve complicated tie breaker situations, as they see best. These can happen in leagues with multiple divisions and wildcard spots.
