i cant remember if this was already answered or not, but i cant find a thread on it that has an answer from someone who matters.
are the playoffs going to be cross-conference?
imo cross-conference playoffs are superior in every way.
it's more likely to put the best 2 teams in the finals, even if those two happen to be in the same conference. it allows more variety of opposition, without cross-conf playoffs every team is playing teams they've already played in the regular season until the final game. this would lead to situations where, for example, syndicate never gets to play pallies in LD this season if they dont both reach the finals, which would suck.
every reason why they do same conference playoffs in pro leagues like the NBA doesnt apply in subspace. they do it because there are the geographical considerations of having to fly players back and forth from arena to arena for long 7 game series, and they do it because they want to keep the ratings hot with lots of regional rivals playing eachother. none of this shit matters in SS, so same conf playoffs would be stupid.
