Discovered a standings/playoff tiebreaker bug M13

[maafla1]

Okay, this one's a little late BUT I JUST DISCOVERED THIS LAST NIGHT. The league/conference/division standings logic is completely messed up in Madden 13 Connected Careers. I just finished a regular season where the Colts finished 9-6-1 and a handful of teams, including the Jets, Chiefs, and Chargers finished 9-7. Who made the playoffs? The Jets and Chiefs got wild cards, the Chargers won the AFC West and the Colts were left out. Last time I checked 9-6-1 is a better record than 9-7. Ties count as a half win AND a half loss when calculating winning percentage. Does anybody have any idea if this has been addressed in this year's Madden?

who won more division games?

Not sure who won more division games between the Chiefs and Chargers. However, the Colts should have been in the playoffs and either the Chiefs or the Jets out, which is my main point.

I haven't found the bug myself, but I've heard it exists.

What troubled me was that the Colts should have been in the playoffs instead of one of the 9-7 teams. 9-6-1 is a higher winning percentage than 9-7.

For some reason this playoff bug has been in previous Maddens and has yet to be fixed by EA. Another thing that gets to me is how the teams are seeded via record and not by the actual playoff order. Division Champs 1-4 and the two wild card teams 5 and 6.

SN: the colts are in the AFC south if I'm not mistaken.
