likewise, Nicholson is 7th all time and didnt get in.

Voters are funny.

I'm convinced Nicholson has been black-balled. He must have slept his way through the Writers Association's Wives Club during his time in the league.

Nothing since 5am? I figured there would be some banter from Nick to Shel regarding playoffs

I feel like Live Playoffs have lost their luster and we should sim them like we do the season. 1 week=1 day. New file, make changes, export. Next week, etc etc.

It seems at this point many guys are more looking forward to the offseason.

Maybe completely wrong but a thought.

i think 18 guys feel that. i enjoy the live playoffs and following the games as they go, even getting swept was enjoyable

The commissioner can live broadcast them just by using the live sim option in the game. We can then all watch, then he can put out a new file and do it again the next day for a sim.

Live playoffs are the absolute best part of this league....... VETOED

Then stop complaining when people don't show up.

Live playoffs = 1 night to finish, offseason starts sooner.

Your suggestions = 3 nights to finish (maybe 4?), offseason starts later.

So....

They weren't a hand in hand solution to get to the offseason faster but more of a middle ground so guys could at least make changes and also move towards the offseason and not have to miss their entire season in 1 night if they cant make it...ala Joe complaints.

Roger that.

I still like Live Playoffs. Starting at 6 pm PST is acceptable - but I can't recall if we used to start earlier.

I should make it tonight for my 15 minutes of fun.

Is people complaining about guys not showing up to playoffs a thing? I am sure Corey can relate but the more that don’t show up the faster it goes and I get to go to sleep at 7 am instead of 8 am so please guys skip all ya want

When it was just me and Billy near the end of last year I could feel the pain in his button clicks as he was eliminated and had to watch the Boston train.

For me, in the past, it was more of a lack of effort to find a common time to maximize participation. We have 12 teams in the playoffs and if 4 guys couldn't make the first night but the other 8 wanted to go it was full steam ahead even if all 12 were free after waiting a night.

I get that people want to move forward but to me it was always (somewhat) a lack of trying to be accommodating to the most possible people within reason. We spend 5-6 weeks running a season and couldn't wait one extra day for everyone to participate (sometimes) - just felt like it was a disservice to some people that are active all season long and don't get to enjoy the finale with everyone else.

Again, within reason - sometimes you can't get all 12 guys. But getting as many as possible on whatever day in a 3 day window seemed reasonable (to me).

Live playoffs is great as long as all the teams are ready to roll. Last few seasons playoffs have been pretty quick overall.
