So for example, early season 2 teams meet, the best team wins, sets a winning run going, the other goes on a losing streak. At this point you'd think in a team with a 8-2 record would beat a team with a 2-8 record. But the CPU determines the better team MUST lose. If that was a one off, I could live with it, upsets happen and anyone can beat anyone on any given day, but if you look it's happening in every game from mid season on. If there's a clear favourite going into a given match, it's almost a given they'll lose to the underdog, which makes a mockery of the etablished order.

Sure you can replay and maybe get a different result next time, but that feels "manufactured" if you like.
I'm not seeing this 100%, If I did I would have noticed, I'm in my second season.
