I should have been more specific. Instead of winning 115-122 games we now win 102-105.
Previously I documented that turning morale off resulted in some consecutive WS wins (going 12-1 to 12-4), while with it on I never won two in a row. Since we moved into the later patches I have won two in a row and also lost in the WS (something that never happened earlier). The first round wipe outs you described are gone.
Like I said, there was a pattern. Now it seems to have changed for the better. Some people have correctly pointed out that these results could be biased by small sample sizes. I intend to study this more with multiple solo leagues, but have not yet had the time.
Your observations match mine from several builds ago (which build are you on?). Currently I feel that morale volume is turned down enough to create realistic variations in the playoffs.
