So, there are currently two options to get us to 8 playoff teams, yes?
1. 3 divisions in each league of 3 teams each with 4th WC spot. Pros: More fair outcomes over long periods; Cons: Major realignment. 2. Keep divisions as they are, but top 2 from each division make playoffs instead of top 1, no WC. Pros: Minor tweak; Cons: Two divisions have 3 good teams, so outcomes will remain less fair overall.
Sounds like most people are leaning towards Option 2? Worth a poll or executive decision, commish?

I found a possible work-around the game. So, I copied our league file from before the last sim, simmed til the final game of the regular season but before advancing, I edited the league structure and switched Seattle and New York and Cincinnati and Montreal. Once I advanced I was able to get Oakland vs. Seattle, Toronto vs. KC, St. Louis vs. Cincinnati and New York vs. Los Angeles in the playoffs. I then simmed out the playoffs and after the World Series I edited back the league structure. The only wonky thing that happened was once I switched them back, the OOTP report for the playoffs had New York and Montreal in the World Series when it was actually Seattle vs. Cincinnati Attachments:

So basically this way, we could literally get the 8 teams the way we wanted to..

just make sure you lower all of the Reds players back down from those 10's across the board

IF it matters. It is easy to edit the league structure to 3 divisions in each league.

If I'm going to lose in the first round of the playoffs, I don't like it. Kidding aside, I don't like that it screws up the league reports.

That is certainly the fairest solution, but involves a bit more work for you (plus some wonky reports). I'm obviously for anything that gets me to the world series instead of missing the playoffs though, even if it means some weird reports haha
