Seeing as how we try and mirror what the NBA does IRL, are we going to be adding the Play In Tournament format to our Playoffs like they are doing in the NBA this season?? I also apologize if this has already been discussed, but I didn't see it anywhere.
Not sure if that is doable with the way the game sets up, but they're essentially just 1 game series.
Here's how the games will work:
Game 1: The No. 7 team in the standings by winning percentage will host the No. 8 team, with the winner earning the No. 7 seed in the playoffs. The losing team gets another chance in Game 3.
Game 2: The No. 9 team will host the No. 10 team, with the winner moving on to Game 3. The loser is eliminated and enters the NBA draft lottery.
Game 3: The loser of the No. 7 vs. No. 8 matchup will host the winner of the No. 9 vs. No. 10 matchup, with the victor grabbing the No. 8 seed in the postseason. The loser of Game 3 also enters the lottery.
Thoughts?

It is possible with the sim engine and I plan to do it You can see on the standings there are different shades of grey text to indicate which teams are play-in teams and which are lottery, but it's not very clear, I need to come up with a better looking system dynasty5ive.proboards.com/thread/16693/march-1st

I like the idea of adding the Play In Tourney a lot— however, would this lead to teams being more competitive OR even more aggressive in trying to avoid the playoffs altogether?

I'm all for this, I think it's great to mirror the real-life changes, I just wish it was announced somewhere that we'd be doing this.

This is a fun idea.
Sorta makes me nervous given my team's position this year but objectively it's a good idea imo

I'm not a fan of the play in tournament. I think it's a bit of a goofy gimmick. As far as I see it, we already have an 82 game play in tournament. If the NBA make the play in tournament permanent, then I guess we have to do it, but until then I want you all to get off my lawn.

LOL Coming from an Englishman who is born and raised with football promotion playoffs, and having proposed relegation playoffs over at my experimental baby, I think it's a great idea by the NBA.
