Was there any discrepancy you saw in your franchise that didn't follow the NFL Tiebreaker procedure?
I have an instance. In my league, the Cardinals are 13-2 and the Seahawks are 13-1-1. The Seahawks are undefeated in the division and won both head-to-head matchups against the Cardinals.
Assuming both win in week 17, the Seahawks will have a better record and the first two tiebreakers. If the Cardinals lose and the Seahawks win, the Cardinals will be 13-3 and the Seahawks will be 14-1-1, clearly the division champion.
However, the standings show that the Cardinals clinched the division and home field advantage in the playoffs.

@davidallen1872 That doesn't seem right from what I'm looking at. It looks like the Seahawks should have won. Will get this tracked down, thanks for reporting it!- 5 years ago
Thank you.
In previous years, the tie breaker for franchise was alphabetical order, but that doesn't appear to be the case here.

Summarize your bug Green Bay Packers & New Orleans Saints are both 10-6, 5-1 in respective divisions. Saints have more Points For & a greater Point dfferential. However it is stating Green Bay should receive 6th Seed. I do not see how this could be the case, what comes after divisional record in Madden 20 to determine who should be selected? I have read alphabetical order and i PRAY that is not the case.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Simple Question of how EAs coded tiebreakers
What happens when the bug occurs? Wrong team is selected as top seed
What do you expect to see? Standard NFL Procedure used in Madden Coding, hopefully not selecting a winner based on Alphabetical order

Requesting a run down of how EA coded Franchise TieBreakers. We have a 32 man Franchise, Playoff spots are on the line and nobody knows how to tell who will receive the final playoff spot.
2 Teams are 10-6, both are 5-1 in Division. What Stat line comes next? I have read alphabetical order on a few reddit threads. I am truly hoping this is not the case, our franchise will most likely lose members if this is true.
Any info on the Tiebreakers built into the game would be greatly appreciated.
