Incorrect Tiebreaker Calculations
I am in an online franchise, and we just got to the playoffs, and the teams were seeded incorrectly. In the first case, there were 4 9-8 teams:
- Packers: 4-2 in division, 6-6 in conference
- Vikings: 3-3 in division, 7-5 in conference
- Eagles: 9-3 in conference
- Seahawks: 7-5 in conference
These teams were vying for 1 spot. The correct procedure would be first to have the Packers over the Vikings (they split the season series) on division record, then do a 3 team tiebreaker between the Packers, Eagles, and Seahawks. This would lead to conference record being the decider because there was no h2h sweep between the teams (Green Bay played neither). However, for some reason the Packers made it above the other 2 when the Eagles should have got in.
It also did incorrect seeding of the 5 and 6 seeds between the Commanders and Buccaneers because both were 10-7 with no h2h matchup, so conference record would be the decider and the Bucs were 8-4 vs 7-5 for the Commanders.
It is crucially important that EA gets tiebreakers correct for a league like this. We calculate them ahead of time to make decisions about how to play the final weeks, and it is very frustrating to have that ruined by incorrect tiebreaker logic. It is not difficult to have a script that can do tiebreakers, so please address this for franchise.
