Hello, I think that can shed some light on playoff matchmaking/ h2h seasons matchmaking. I have played a lot of h2h this year, so I feel like I have a good grasp of how it works. These are some things that go into matchmaking:
In a regular season matchup, you will play somebody within, or close to your division (Rookies play rookies, MVPs play legends, etc). This one is obvious.
Playoff matchmaking is a bit different. Once you get to the playoffs, you are either matched up with someone who is also in their playoffs (around your division) or, just as often, you are matched up with someone who is in a substantially higher division than you. These people in the higher divisions are in regular season games, not their playoffs. I know this because I sit at the legend or MVP division, and I typically play about two lower overall/lower skill people in their playoffs per season. Note, overall is not a direct factor in matchmaking, but it is a typical side effect of playing people in higher divisions.
