So then evidentally you are the only one who has realized that baseball needs to be done this way...the IBF, Little League, JUCO, NAIA and every state high school organization in the United States, not to mention Japan, none of them have more than a single game to determine the champion.
Were the 2004 Boston Red Sox the best team? I don't see how, because they didn't even win the AL East that season. So over the course of a 7-game series vs. the Yankees, they were the better team. But over 162 they weren't. They didn't even win the season series that year.
Anyone who has played sports knows that whoever wins was the best team on the field that day, and that's all that really matters.
You've yet to argue the points I made in my last post...because you don't have an argument.
And you did say it doesn't work.

Go find a single international baseball competition that has a completely different setup than I do. Until then, I'm trying to re-create the Baseball World Cup that is used IN REAL LIFE. So it's completely realistic.
And as for my "passion/laziness" factor; if you are going to play OOTP, you HAVE to use some sort of imagination or else the game just doesn't work. So you make up storylines in your head, your create images and you go with it.
Go make your own. If there's something wrong with MY setup, then there's something wrong with every baseball organization's setup outside of the MLB because that's what I'm striving to re-create. But even then, why don't they justt crown the team with the best record after 162 games the Champion?
And if you had it your way, the U.S. would beat Canada in every single World Cup Title game until modern baseball, which then the U.S. would beat the Dominican Republic in every Title game. That's real interesting. The improbable and unexpected is what makes sports great, no?
If I had run a sim of the 2008 season way back in March and said that the Tampa Bay Rays made the World Series, what would your reaction have been? That there's something wrong with the game or the setup, and that it's not realistic.
