I'd like to see the playoffs being removed from the game. League winner should be determined in a best of three series between the divison winners.

That way, we could have a nice short one-week offseason, instead of the three weeks drag we have to endure right now.

i like it , maybe just top 2 from each conference?

Unfortunately, however this would lead to more mid-season tanking.

If I am 4th, and with 6 games left, I have no chance of finishing first, I sell up and tank the rest of season, finish 5th and go from there.

If this were to be implemented, there would need to be drastic changes in conjunction to this change, with regards to merchandising and attendance for tankers or teams whom have a roster which is well below par for their league. (which I believe should happen anyways but that's beside the point.

Could have prize money for league finish? Encourage people not to tank, or at least tank too drastically

Good point.. With the negative from tanking coming from attendance, it should be much less profitable as Marin introduces the changes to the fan survey system, so selling all your players and losing all your games will hit teams much harder.
