Quick run-through on how to create a MLB playoff with only division winners
Start a game in OOTP X and choose Major American League. Don't change any of the playoff options as it will all be done through the editor.
Sim the game through to "2009 Playoffs Begin" and note down the division winners and their records (using head to head as a tiebreaker if necessary)
Exit OOTP X and start my utility. Choose the relevant league and Load and then click Playoffs and choose Major American League and click Continue.
You should then see four series listed. Click on the Delete next to the first one (should be an AL matchup), and then click on Delete on the second one down (should be an NL matchup). Choose Edit on the AL Series and choose the 2nd and 3rd ranked AL Divison champs, and click Save. Do the same for the NL Series. You can go through the single games and set them up as you see fit.
Click Save at the bottom of the screen, and close down the Utilities and open up OOTP X and load your game.
If you go to the Standings screen you should only see two Series in the first round. Sim through day-by-day until these series are over. You should then see just one series listed in Round 2. Quit OOTP X and load up the utilities and load up through the Playoffs -> Major American League.
You should see just one series listed in Round 2. Click Edit and change the NL team to the AL #1 team and click Save. This series may have the home advantage wrong but you can edit each game.
Click on Copy next to the AL Series and then choose the NL Round 1 winner and the NL #1 team and click Save. You will then need to check the game makeup for those games.
Click on Save at the bottom and load up OOTP X and your league and you should be able to play through the rest of the playoffs.
Notes
Because this is an external editor to OOTP X you will need to make sure you are out of OOTP X when you make any changes using this editor. Also, once a series has started the overall series make-up can't be changed, so you need to sim through the playoffs day-by-day to make sure you can alter it at the relevant point.
