They are separate things, essentially. The title winner is the title winner, the playoff winner is the playoff winner.

The whole play-off thing to decide the champions is bullshit entirely, and rugby league is a prime example. Last 2 seasons, Leeds Rhinos have ended up 6th and won the playoffs and thus are "champions". Same with championship, Featherstone Rovers winning the league 3 years running, but only being "champions" once due to silly playoffs.

How is that any different to the current system? A team could have already finished 2nd and throw a match.

Same for Relegation/Promotion Playoffs, for example NWA they handled to reach place 3 and then fucked up the promotion in a single match.
And i can't see more excitment in playoffs than in league mode. A neck and neck race, between two or more teams, for the championship/CL spot/promotion spot/... could be way more thrilling.

For next season, the winner of the playoffs will be crowned champions of division 1. Obviously we're always looking for ways to improve the league and as it's been mentioned a few times that the end of a season can sometimes feel a bit stale, we have decided to trial the playoffs system this season. Anyone around from season 4 will remember that dramatic final day and personally I feel if we could have that every season FM would be better off.
Remember that this is on trial for this season. If it doesn't work, then we'll go back to the old system. Nothing lost.
