Choose your first round matchups however you like, but note after that the playoffs proceed on a fixed draw basis (like that used in the NBA) and not on an open draw basis (like that used in the NHL).

That is, if you set your first round to be:

#1 vs. #8
#2 vs. #7
#3 vs. #6
#4 vs. #5

The second round will feature the 1/8 versus 2/7, and 3/6 versus 4/5.

Setting it up as:

#1 vs. #8
#4 vs. #5
#2 vs. #7
#3 vs. #6

The second round will now have 1/8 versus 4/5, and 2/7 versus 3/6. This is the typical setup for the matchups in an eight-team fixed draw playoff.

Note also the menu where you select how the first round matchups are determined. That will also make a difference.

In terms of the game's pre-set (as opposed to customizable) playoffs scenarios, I thought the issue around matchups in some of the setups had been fixed, but I perhaps I'm mistaken about that.
