Rivals' DTP2
Again, having two different discussions. One is things we would all like to see, and things likely to happen if any change does at all.
While I don't want to see them go to 8, it is more likely if they do it's more of the same or with minor tweaks not likely to change the OOC value.
I don't agree that giving home field for 4 games will move the needle. There's just no evidence that changes things IMO. It's wishful thinking. There are things they could do to change it, but I can't see those happening either.
We all do agree it is currently weak and we would like to see it change. I just don't see it happening.
Of course things don't change if you keep the broken parts of the current system if moving to 8. Again, you don't have to like 8 no matter what but you could go to 8 and create more incentive to schedule better by using a different ranking method, awarding home games, and perhaps using a flexible bracket.
