- committed fully to no one having their last update of the season in for the entire playoffs (it wasn’t just “a few teams” it was all of them)
- audidted the file to put all of them in all over again plus some other errors that were in the file other than the missing updates

There were no good options here. The resim was the precedent that has been set in the past, and is also the way that didn’t require us to completely audit the file and make the file team re-do an entire update cycle of work. I am also sorry that people have lost some stats, but continuing to use the wrong file was not a viable option.

I agree there aren't good options, but you would not have to commit to not having any updated files for playoffs. Options could have been to apply to current update immediately, or at the end of this update cycle. Going with either of these you could have selected to play the first round with the current file and update, or update immediately.
People are going to complain either way, but saying the 2 options were "finish the playoffs on the current, un updated file", or "restart the playoffs with an updated file" leaves out a lot of other discussion that I'm sure HO went through.
