Madden 15 CFM tiebreaker

[Lers]

Does anyone know what the actual tiebreaker criteria is that EA uses in Madden 15?

I know its not accurate as I have seen it repeatedly pick the wrong team, but just curious if anyone knows how they actually break ties in CFM.

You mean for playoff teams? Like two teams with identical records trying to get that last wild card spot? I know in games past the tie ALWAYS went to the first team in alphabetical order by team name. So the Bears would always get the spot over the Eagles, the Colts over the Pats, etc. I hated that and loved it at the same time, because as a Bears fan the only team that could get in the playoffs ahead of me was the 49ers

Yes, I was referring to the Wild Card tiebreaker.

I was joking with everyone that it went off who was first alphabetically lol.

Ironically enough I am the Bears and made it in over the Giants...even though I calculated it and he should have been the one to make it in. Maybe the theory has legs...
