I'm totally confused right now and I know not how I will live next season in League 2 with the sense or nonsense of this MOTY-option especially in the playoffs. Maybe the best is I will look for the best League position and thats the end of the season for me.

BTW: Why we need these nonsense playoff games?
Please have a look into the Galaxy League. In the semifinal there are Admins Tackles and three other teams. They had a league ranking of #1, #4, #6 and #10. That means, exept Admins Tackles the best Teams are out in fact of the MOTY option.

to add: and the admin did not use special tactics and/or MOTY

Kottan: what would you do? Get rid of MOTY completely?

Pete, First of all You done a very good job and this game is very interesting. But it have small mistakes. I believe, that we all together will fix this.
So in the sum Im surprised of the reality of a game is able to get to me except that this MOTY in the playoff.

I think, maybe the MOTY is a good idea but for me the developement isn´t finished. We all have to give through to the MOTY option.

Finally´, I will answer to you: My opinion is, at this development stage of MOTY I would rid it and at a later date I would implement a second edition of a better MOTY than todays MOTY.

Why do some managers think that only the bowl would be their match of the year? For underdogs the MOTY is playing in the playoffs against a favourite. So why is this for the favourite not the MOTY, too?

I would not take the risk to play against a team, with a high possibility that he play MOTY, and lose because I want to save my MOTY for the Bowl.

I like the MOTY-thing, because it is the only chance for underdogs to win a Playoff game. But my in my league a strong team defeated a underdog who played MOTY.

I think MotY should stay as it is now. This is not real football, of course every real football team is going to play as better as they know during playoff games, no discussion about that, but this is a simulation game which includes some amount of stategy, and I think having the choice of when you use your MotY is part of that strategy, and makes possible to achieve victories you would never had without it. If everybody plays MotY every playoff game, the best team will always win, there would be less surprises, that's not cool for me

I want to discuss

There where so many upsets in the playoff history because the underdog played their MOTY and the favourite performed not well.

Some examples?

Saints- Seahawks (2010)
Jets - Cots (2010)
Cardinals - Packers (2009)
Jaguars - Steelers (2007)

....

They played Relaxed because they understimate their rival, maybe
So the team which used MotY, which used a better strategy, won the game. If MotY is mandatory for every team, those victories would never have happened.
