I didn't realize of this flaw until i played an entire season in Madden 2003. With 4 division winners, there are only 2 wildcard teams. This often leaves out very good team out of the playoffs b/c of the limited spots. This is what happened.
(* division winners) (+ wild card)
Patriots*............12-4
Titans*..............12-4
Browns*............11-5
Bills+....................11-5
Steelers+............11-6
Dolphins.............10-6
Colts..................10-6
Raiders*.............9-7
Although both the Dolphins and the Colts had better records than the Raiders, they both missed the playoffs.
IMO this is bull****, i can easily see this screwing the bills playing in the tough AFCE.
