In the GUBA we sim 1 round at a time. It would take way too long to get through the playoffs doing it any other way, and generally the sims are done as soon as possible - IE when each team posts on the forum that they've done a playoff export, we sim.

With a 36 team league, having 8 teams in the playoffs makes it a little boring for the other 28 owners.

Also, I can't stress enough that, over time, modifying player abilities is a bad move. The GUBA, and the MBBA and FIBB before that, uses 1-10 talents, and 1-20 actual ratings. What happened with the MBBA was players with a 7 or 8 contact talent (15-16 actual rating) wout end up being .240 hitters, and the league was full of roided up hitters with 8/9/9/8/6 ratings who were essentially league average.
