Looking over the Matrix boards this morning, I see that playoffs are handled manually? The more I hear, the more I think this isn't actually a game but just a framework for people to develop mods. Sadly, based on the screenshots, videos and things that have been pointed out (like the down and yardage errors!)...it looks like the framework is incredibly weak.
At first, I felt sorry for Matrix...now I feel sorry for people who buy this game expecting a $40 or $50 game.
