its not bad idea
but unfortunately the current schedule is very tight and to implement it, I think the season would need to be extended another week at least.
That means all those people that don't make the conference finals would be waiting another whole week to play real games.
I like the idea, but yer the scheduling conflict would be difficult.
Sorry i just read this bit
The last week of the playoffs should be an everyday Playoff game, from semis to finals.
Yer what happens to gameshape? a game every day? I think there would be conflicts with the game engine and national team games somewhere in there as well.
