"Alpha" CC is a style of CC that is more "realistic" because almost every part of it, like folds, decorations, details in general are fully meshed. "Maxis/EA match" CC can still be really detailed but are overall more "cartoony" and so they fit in with the original style of the game more. The difference between the two is more obvious in TS4 and TS2.
Example of Alpha CC - Look closely at the folds and the straps

Now here's Maxis Match
