I think this is not a good thing to do,

Of course it's better to have balanced sides, but I think it's more realistic to leave it like this. I had the same problem in my competition, but after 1 or 2 seasons it was fixed, because of promotions and relegations.
I like the fact that I play in the same conference with the same teams each year; there's more rivalry.

any way I still think that at least play-offs module should be changed or at least should be a chance for users in each country to decide if they want that or they don`t.

I realized that bot teams can releagated more than one level even into the lowest level in one season update (and since they are only bots now, nobody cares) so I would be sceptical about any changes that include "replacing". Cause there would plenty of room to make a mistake in who-is-replacing-who mechanisms.

I like you idea of playoffs being Big 8 versus Great 8.
However I dont like the idea of mixing up the Big 8 and Great 8. Even though there is a team that has had its way with my team the past few seasons, I can keep track of the 7 other teams in my conference.

BB leagues are modelled after the NBA. The NBA has intra-, not inter-conference playoffs. I do think it simply boils down to this.

but if majority of the users wanna change this module so why it couldn`t be changed, I really don`t think it`s hard to develop this idea... If you would ask Lithuania users at least 70% would say yes we wanna that this would be changed. For me it`s way more interesting and fare as well... This would give a chance for second team to win the league... I have in mind that strong side teams should play difficult games during play-offs till gets to the final and in other side best team goes through the games without any fight so it comes more fresh to the final round. As well wouldn`t be so easy to choose against who you wanna fight in first or second play-offs game. it would be nice if someone from developers would make this clear if it possible or not.


pointing out all the reasons of second main suggestion:

it was made just cause if nobody would like play-offs changes to be made. The reason is just somehow to make divisions more equal.

Well I'm neutral in this case but anyone who claims that majority this or that should be blamed. How many users bother to post? And how many on global boards?!
