It would make the offseason longer, as it stands the offseason/playoffs is already 3 weeks long.

well, it's just simulation, then players can play 3 matches in one day or first match Tuesday second match Wednesday, if needed, third match Thursday

I agree that the playoffs should not be made longer. The only way I would be interested in an extra week of playoffs is if there was a bottom bracket put in for the 8 teams that do not make the playoffs.

The matches need to be spaced out and not one each day. Not everybody is able to log in everyday. Also, that would amount to way too much training minutes for the players.

it can be fixed you know. so, never mind i can win all my playoff games

Well even though today I crushed, destroyed, made a joke of my worst enemy

That was the closest crush destruction embarrassment of a win in the history of, um, crush destruction embarrassment wins.

Play three rounds of best two out of three, using all three game days each week. If you can close out your opponent in two, your players get some rest. The playoffs should be a test of team depth.

yes but the sweetest :-) I would have preferred though to have beaten him by 1 with a buzzerbeater!

Concerning the lenght problem longer playoffs might cause:

teams 5 to 8 are concerned
Why not modify the way teams are demoted by creating a new "demotion group"?
One possible way is that teams 5-8 create a new group, keeping their reccords from the season and play 6 more games between each other (one in one out)
Another way is to create a group of 8 teams (5-8 of both divisions) and make them play 7 extra games (4 in your arena if you finished 5th or 6th and 3 only i you finished 7th or 8th)

that way every team will have something to do while others fight for he tile in longer series!

BB season 2 is almost over (guess the american continent is still waiting).

First of all congratulations to everyone, winners and losers, as long as you have fun the rest is not important, and I must say that I myself enjoy BB quite a lot and can't wait for the new season!

Anyway concerning next year's playoffs is there anyway of making them longer (of course we'll have to find a way for other other teams to get revenue, training ect but it can be done, and if we start considering it now we have plenty of time). And actually we might add games without needing more days (ex: we played 2 final games in 2 days).

If I insist so much it's because I think it will add a lot to the fun of this game: 2 victories needed for QF and SF and 3 for the finals what do you think? And what do the BBs think as well?

Just an ex of how exiting it can be: I lost my second game with the opponent shooting many 3pointers (59 points in the last quarter!!!). I then changed my defense to 3-2 zone and won game 3 (and the championship). But if there was a 4th game I would have to think: will he change his offense to "inside play" thinking I will stick to the 3-2 zone? And the other manager will also make his own predictions. Not to mention how many tactical options would be available if there was a 5th one!
