i think it is insane that u have to play all one card in one game after a complete season

Never heard of the NFL?

The thing that is out of wack now is how good 5th is compared to 4th. I have been wrecked by injuries this season (4/5 starters out at least two weeks and currently starting PF out now and starting SF still unplayable due to bad GS resulting from a long injury) so I dropped like a stone from 1st last season to 4th this season.

I have Player Salaries: $ 332 503.
I make attendance of around $ 293 090.

So adding in the other factors I make a small profit each week of up to $50,000. If I came 5th I would have 0 salaries and 0 arena income but with merchandising and TV I would make a nice weekly profit but coming 4th I will get 1/3 of one game (probably less than $100,000) and make a massive loss of $200,000 for the chance of my injury depleted team to get buried by a heatlhy team by 30.

5th used to be too harsh, no games, brutal loss of income, loss of training etc, but now it is just spectacular, the new win condition. You can even day trade like a crazy man, hire a $300,000 guy for you PL final and never even have to pay his wages. Just seems out of balance now.

Playoffs can still be very short if we squeeze in additional games on mondays and wednesdays, or find a way to decide a round in 2 games (maybe like in football by goal differential)

What about training and game shapes, then?

I was just about to point that out.

I think that every round of the playoffs should be decided by the best of 3. Games could be played on Saturday, Tuesdays and Thursday (as they already are). Teams in the playoffs don't have a friendly match (unless the series is decided in two games)

The team with the best regular season record plays the 1st and 3rd game at home, and teams shouldn't be forced to split the entrance earnings. Maybe the entrance from the third game could be splat as BB does it right now...

I really dont understand why this would be a problem - GS will be an issue for every team, so everybody will have the same problems. Training GS would look very sexy in such a scenario and this would open new strategic decisions.

Instead of turning down every suggestion you people should offer some suggestions that would solve those problems or stay mute.

I do agree about the three games part, I disagree about the friendly game though.

I do agree about the GS part beeing a non-issue: teams keep tie-ing games all the year to keep their attitude high, they have to risk ruining it in the playoffs to get to the final. Why should GS be treated any different? There´s no need ot play games at GS 9 all players, instead, just like Knecht said, opting for GS training can make up for lapses if you really need your players at high levels. All teams are affected, so there´s no disbalance.

but it changes the general setting what is needed, betwenn PO and the normal league,

In playoffs, you lose and that´s it. In regular, you lose and there´s a next game. Doesn´t that also qualify as "changing the general settings"?
