I am still not convinced, but at least its a step in the right direction.


Definitely a step in the right direction. My quick calculations tell me that the difference between 5th and making the playoffs is now pretty much negligible. At the very least, unlike previous seasons any financial gains are definitely not enough to be worth tanking for.

The kicker in this is that you likely get a better fan survey and more season ticket holders for the following season if you finish 4th instead of 5th so you'll lose even more gate $$$ for finishing 5th the following season as well.

and 4th gives you a chance of getting to the conference finals.

Right, which would give your team a little more income for that week.

But for whatever reason it seems to me that only regular season records are used to calculate "I am pleased with the team's performance last season" on the fan survey the following season. Finishing 4th in your conference and making a long playoff run doesn't seem to make a difference at all.

Except if you win the playoffs, but maybe it's too small of a difference to really notice it, as fan attendance is already hardly understandable ..

Difference between playoffspots (now 3 and 4) still looks pretty marginal. But lets see how it works out this season.
