How does MLB 11: The Show foresee the 2011 playoffs and World Series? I ran two simulations, one using the most recent "official" rosters, and another using a modified version of Knight's fantastic OSFM rosters.

Compared to the wild and memorable night of 162nd games, The Show sims the playoffs pretty mildly. Most of the Divisional Series are sweeps with little drama. The Championship Series get a little better, with upsets and a 7-game series.

It seems, though, that the excitement was saved for the World Series, which, if it really plays out like either scenario, would be an excellent sequel to 2001.

The Show 11 really seems to like the D-Backs. They were dominating my franchise as well. I guess Knight and Sony saw this whole worst to first thing. Guess I should bet a surprise team that sims well in 12!

Hard to simulate the playoffs when there is no playoff mode. One big area I hope they improve on for 12.

These 4 sims (official and user rosters for 2K12 and The Show) have Arizona winning 12 games to 3 over the Brewers. In actuality, Milwaukee has a chance to sweep.

Still fun to do these, and thanks for sharing, but it reminds me of the constant 8-seed-beating-the-1-seed in NBA 2K sims.

Not really when you consider I put out a franchise 100% similar to real life. I guess my thunder has been stolen.

Not exactly though.
You did it so guys could play the games.
O.S. always does a W.S. simulation.
I'm honored they used the O.S.F.M set this year as well!
Thanks.

By the way ....in my own sim. The D-Backs did make it to the playoffs but were knocked off by the Phillies who lost to the Yankees in 6 games.
Roy Halladay won the Cy Young and dominated the playoffs as well.
He won 2 games in the series and had a sub 2.00 ERA(for the series)

M.K.
