there are 8 teams involved in the playoffs so why do we have to have the playoffs last a week...why couldnt we get the GM's online for the playoffs and do them all in one day...
so im proposing just that...playoffs simmed in 1 day...each team in the playoffs would either need to be in attendance, have a rep to run thier team during the playoffs, or send an email listing directions for injuries, rotation ect...
any thoughts?

I like this idea. Or even over 2 nights. Have the 1st 2 rounds one night and the World Series on it's own a few nights later. Cin... may we meet in the WS someday...

As a guy who manages my team a lot, I HATE this idea with a passion. When I was in the playoffs in HHSL, I spent like 3-4 hours just looking at the other team I was playing and figuring out where there were weaknesses that I could exploit and how to do it. It takes away from the strategy part of the playoffs.

Maybe, or we can just have the playoffs on 5 days instead of 7?

I agree fully with BAL. I don't see why a week is too long to sim all that. If you get as into it as he does, you can definitely be working for quite a while to set everything up to have some kind of strategy. Plus, with injuries, and the possibility of people not being able to make sims, rushing that much would screw people over. I know people love to get to the offseason so they can start changing their team around again, but I don't think rushing the playoffs would be a good thing.
Also...apparently last night's sim didn't happen. I was out at work/doing other things all day and didn't have my away on, and I got a message from Mike sometime midday saying he couldn't do it. Luckily, I have tomorrow off...so I'll do the sim tomorrow again to keep us on schedule. I'll probably be doing it a little earlier than we usually would...I'm thinking about 7 ET. I have to be ready to go somewhere by about 7:15 my time so that's going to have to do. Sorry to those who were expecting it tonight...

sorry guys about last night, friends invited me to see Die Hard last night, and then stayed out all night. FYI Die Hard was pretty good.
