Roger Kaputnik Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 I ran a couple of seasons with playoffs last night and I have to say it is very confusing. First, there is no way to tell if a game is a tournament bowl or just one of the throw away bowls. They should be marked somehow. What makes it worse is that there is no bracket displayed so it is difficult to follow the progression of the tournament. I don’t like the playoff option as it currently works. I would rather see you get rid of the throw away bowls and expand the bracket to 16 or 32 teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azamien Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 It's Arlie's way of preparing us for the painful mess we'll see if the NCAA ever does give us a D1A playoff system. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If no bracket, perhaps an option to create a custom logo for the tournament games would work. Will that be an option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could replace our GDCS bowl logo with one for playoffs or replace the bowls individually. We go through this process in the mods forum.

Arlie Rahn Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 The guys is asking if he can create custom logos for the playoffs. I said yes and that the process has been explain in the mods forum for those interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(See post #1 in this thread) Could we possibly get an answer to that one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arlie Rahn Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 it's in the access database with the "Playoff site" set to Yes. the list includes: (Just first round) Nevada Bowl Detroit Bowl Boise Bowl Memphis Bowl (1st and future rounds) Arizona Bowl Lousiana Bowl Miami Bowl Pasadena Bowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Vibert Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 You can edit this by changing the pstats.dat file in the Bowl Games table. Just make sure there are 8 games checked (it is a 16 game playoff in BBCF). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIGGAS2 Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 A bracket would be very appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly J Delaney Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 I am old school I use the bowl system. So, for all of you users of the playoffs, what format do they use? A 16 team? If so, who are the teams, the conference winners and some at large teams? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arlie Rahn Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 I think we will try and get some form of playoff bracket into one of the updates. As to the playoffs, they are 16 teams and involved the 11 conference winners and 5 at-large slots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capital Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 I don't have the game yet because I'm away on vacation, but is the only playoff format 16 or can you have only 8? Although, if it is 16, then what is listed above sounds about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
