i like it , maybe just top 2 from each conference?
Unfortunately, however this would lead to more mid-season tanking.
If I am 4th, and with 6 games left, I have no chance of finishing first, I sell up and tank the rest of season, finish 5th and go from there.
If this were to be implemented, there would need to be drastic changes in conjunction to this change, with regards to merchandising and attendance for tankers or teams whom have a roster which is well below par for their league. (which I believe should happen anyways but that's beside the point.
