Wildcard tiebreaker

JGoodlink · 03-29-2016, 10:15 AM

I would periodically see this in OOTP 16, and I have now seen it once in 17. While playing a standard season, with default playoff settings, occasionally if three teams finish tied for the second wildcard spot, the final spot will be decided by one playoff game, and the third team just gets left out. I had three teams tie for both wildcard spots, and an appropriate two-game playoff was used, with A playing B, and the loser playing C. The winners of both games got the wildcards.

Yes, known issue. Very hard to fix, though.

I can imagine that is a tough one. I did a search on it, and did not see it on here anywhere, so I thought I would mention it. Not a real big deal unless my team is the odd team out, which has only happened once.
