I was looking through the past games of my scrimmage opponent and noticed the last 2 games had the exact same score between the same teams; the last league game and a playoff game. I opened the matches and they are exactly identical; scores per quarter, stats from each player... can't be coincidence?

Yes, these games still happen sometimes. It's an old problem which even Charles had trouble solving. We will address it eventually, but at this time it's pretty low priority.

Here's another case but I do not think it's a bug. For me it is evident that is an exact formula that takes into account a huge amount of variables (skills, forms, tactics and other parameters) in these specific cases did not change any of the two teams from a game to another.

It sounds a lot like whatever is being used to seed the RNG is being calculated by some attributes of the teams/players and if you were to sim in a test environment the same game ten times back to back, it may well be that it would have the same result over and over. If the random seed is set to incorporate something non-repeatable, like DateTime.Now.Ticks, the duplication in theory should no longer occur.

Of course if it were that easy I imagine it would have already been solved. Usually the things that seem like they'd be the easiest to fix are the hardest to pinpoint.
