The game doesn't do tiebreaking playoff games I'm afraid (that's something that really ought to change at some point IMHO). Shaun has posted in the past how the game determines the winner in end-of-season tie situations but I can't recall the specifics at the moment.

Hopefully for PS 2008 we can get the plaoff in there -- that is a nightmare with Wild Card ties etc. though...<br/>
