I did!!!! The conversations all ended with let's see if we can do weighted divisions but we can't.
Idk why other guys don't want the best teams in the playoffs!

Cards you haven't thought this through. MLB right now is dealing with huge backlash and is adding a wild card to prevent exactly what your suggesting because the system is broken. How would you make the playoffs fair? Bye weeks? If so then how is it fair to a team who wins their league to take on a team that couldn't all relying on one "lucky" week? You gotta think it through before proposing changes

To that we actually can do weighted schedules. I emailed ESPN back and forth about it and figured out how to do it. Don't forget what you told me " Custom Schedules are dumb!"

Mets has already spent a ton of time doing a weighted schedule. Easy to impliment. Mets would you care to remind these guys what you did.
If memory serves me right it has you playing everyone in your division twice and outside 1 time.

I don't get why we can't do weighted schedules. If we have 21 weeks to the regular season, you play everyone once, your division a second time, & the teams who finished in the same slot as you in each division a second time (I.e. All the 1st place teams, etc.). So that means you have the extra chance against your division and the better finishers from the previous year should have tougher schedules than the bottom dwellers. This is kinda what the NFL does. Yes, some divisions will always be tougher than others but this is about as fair as can be. Boy, I wish someone would put the time into making a schedule like that! Oh, wait a minute, I did!

Weighting the schedules doesn't really fix the problem we had last year with yanks division.
Yes he was the rightful winner but his division was terrible. What if just another average team would have been in yanks place? There is the scenario i want us to avoid

In no sport do the teams with the best regular season records always make the playoffs. In baseball right now, the 3rd best team can get left out. That's just the reality of the system with divisions. You can't let one year dictate a rule change for multiple seasons. Competitive balance ebbs and flows from divisions over time. That's the point o a Dynasty league.

Seriously the team that usually finishes 3rd in the AL east sometimes has the same or better record than at least one division winner. You really need to let this go. No one else sees the problem

Cards the way it seems your mad at the teams in the other division. Which you shouldn't be mad at Braves or Mets. You should be talking to other teams owners to make better teams to compete.
