    Number of playoff teams

    How many teams make the playoffs in Franchise mode? I'm a game away from clinching the 5th spot (second wild card) but I'm starting to wonder whether or not the game will allow me to play the other wild card team in a one game final as in real MLB. Has anyone ever played a 1 game wild card final?

    5 teams from each league make the playoffs:

    * 3 division winners
    * 2 wildcard teams

    So if you clinch the 2nd wildcard spot, you will play the other wildcard team in a one game playoff.
    I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

    I miss the old days of Operation Sports :(

        I've strangely never had that happen, but I assume a one game tie breaker would occur if two teams were tied. You definitely play the other Wild Card team if you clinch one of those spots though.

          Yeah both leagues this year in my franchise had to have tie breaker games played. MLB and ESPN would have been dancing in the streets at the extra TV coverage and the commish would have been considering adding even more wild cards to mimic the excitement
