When I see how effective it is to play a one play playbook on offense and a one play playbook on defense, I am totally demotivated and will not spend any further hour on playbooks

I totally understand where you're coming from, my problem is I often find it difficult to see exactly what's happened in games to decide how I actually feel about it!
As an example: If a manager has built a really smart playbook designed to trick opposing defences into playing the wrong formations against pass and rush, taking depth chart into account to create mismatches by using different directions, but specific ones at the exact right times, I don't care how many formations they use. It would almost seem redundant for them to then have to go through the playbook and swap in random different formations just for the sake of "using lots of formations". Compared to someone who builds a playbook with no other thought than making sure all the formations are used this feels like better management to me.
I understand how annoying it is when it's obvious someone has about 5 lines in their entire playbook though. I think the big difficulty is getting the balance exactly right, I don't know the game well enough to say whether the balance is right or not though.

With two games left...it seems like there are still a lot of teams still in contention for the final playoffs spots. Should be a good couple of game days.

2 BOT teams in Elite now? That's tough.

I'm calling it now, I'll get relegated on Points difference because YC gets a 60 point swing in his last game....

Not neccessarily.

1) it could be that Furche will play almost with full strength, since bots sometime play unlike longtime bots, so a win with 60+ points is not a given fact.
2) you could win both games and don't need that at all.

I think there's going to be a 12-4 NC team that's going to miss out on the wildcard playoff spot. I think it's likely to be me... :-(

Certainly possible, but I think it is just as likely that an 11-5 team being left out (me); if I can beat Leeds, I could get the 2 seed (or 3, 5 or 6), or if I lose, I'm almost certainly planning for next season

Just for curiosity I took a look into RZA Elite history

I found only this teams that missed the wildcard with a 11-5 record

S32 NC West Juggernaut Jackalopes 11-5
S28 AC East The Green Machine 11-5
S27 AC West Yellowcakes 11-5
S26 AC West Yellowcakes 11-5
S25 AC West Free Agent Mascots 11-5
S18 AC West Devon Dog Soldiers 11-5
S17 NC East Leeds Celtics 11-5

This would be the very first time a team misses the wild card with a 12-4 record.
Will I be the first?
