Playoffs off - team not credited with winning

bogieman · 06-18-2006, 01:37 AM

Also, when the playoffs are disabled the game does not give the top team credit for winning the league championship.

I just finished a season for my league. It has just a single major league and I turned off the playoffs thinking that the top team at the end of the season would get credit for the championship. When the season was finished in the history there was no champion. I was happy that the first patch gave the ability not to have playoffs but the game should designate the top team as the champion of the league. Granted this doesn't take in the possibilities of a tie. I would assume that the same tie breakers for divisional champions would be used.

I this actually an issue or not? I would like to do historical sims from 1871 with the actual league setups, but there would be no point if the game won't declare a champion at the end of the season.

Did you finish the off-season and preseason of the following year? In some places, champions don't seem to register until the next season.

I set up a test league and ran it for 10 years, the game never reported a champion. I was purely a fictional league with 10 teams and 162 game schedule. I took all the defaults except I turned off the playoffs.

btw I have patched the game.

Ive run into the same problem...

I have a league with 6 seperate leagues involved, only one has a playoff series. The 5 non-playoff leagues didnt report champions in their history, and the traditional, playoffs begin and end news blurbs are in there despite not needing to be as well.

on an unrelated note, Ive seen a bunch of free agents get signed and then traded on the same day in the offseason...is that suposta be normal?
