I believe everyone knows what it means, but just to make sure...
Adding a 2nd Wildcard team would create the Wildcard play-in game. The winner of that game will tend play the top seed, regardless of if those teams come from the same division. League Editor does not have this grayed-out, so this would be an option for the current (2027) season.
We're trending on 3 straight years where a team will miss the playoffs when they had a better record than a division winner in their league. While this won't directly fix that issue, it will give another deserving team a shot for post-season play. This would mean over 50% of GBA teams make the playoffs, but that would put us right in line with the NHL and NBA.
