That would be if the medals were ready and added to the game, but obviously things got delayed. To assume from a two month old unofficial comment that medals will be shipped this month no matter what is jumping conclusions.]]></description>

In a way, it is. Current medals have the playoff medal style look closely similar to the first place medal, so if the primary objective for a team is to get the best looking medal in easiest way possible, they could just lose out in playoffs as soon as possible. Gladly this is not a case anymore for Division 2 or above where the least anyone could get from playoffs is a normal participation medal unless they place third to get bronze, but it still doesn't mean that the current medals are perfect.

I agree with the playoff medals design changing, as it makes little sense for people placing lower to have a nicer medal than say 2nd. But the actual design of the medals are so detailed and well proportioned, it would be a shame to see them go to be replaced by a design very bland in detail and crammed in space. A rework of the playoffs medal would be nicer.]]></description>

In a way, it is. Current medals have the playoff medal style look closely similar to the first place medal, so if the primary objective for a team is to get the best looking medal in easiest way possible, they could just lose out in playoffs as soon as possible. Gladly this is not a case anymore for Division 2 or above where the least anyone could get from playoffs is a normal participation medal unless they place third to get bronze, but it still doesn't mean that the current medals are perfect.

The reason even why they do have such a look is because they were introduced back in 2014, before the Swiss System was implemented in to the league which resulted possibly in all matches being within the main season weeks so every division of their own had several smaller competitions for the first place, and the current playoff medal style was given to the group winner teams of the time, only Premiership teams received the placement medals that currently are given in all tiers. It really worked well back then with all groups being in Round Robin but that was not transferred perfectly over with the Swiss System.

Although I do agree that the second place medal does look too similar to what the participation medal looks like, but that's a regular case with in-game medals that they look the same compared to usual grey medals unless they are made a lot more special than just with more colours added.]]></description>
