I know I'm in the minority when it comes to enjoying tsb derbies so most of you may not care, but what the heck is up with trying to match with someone? Since this update I haven't been able to find an opponent at any time of day on any level derby (and no I'm not jailed).
From what I've heard...now they've made it so that you can only match with other users in your tier, be it silver, gold, etc. I'm not sure if this is the case or not but I had enough trouble finding a match before, now its downright impossible. But if this is the new reality, then why can a silver team match with a gold, platinum, or diamond team in regular game play? A little consistency at least would be nice...

I haven't found a match since the update either, and I'm also not jailed. I can only assume that Glu doesn't want players making gold on derby, so they eliminated the advantage of playing lower level sluggers (although lower level sluggers tended to do just fine against me, that could be because I'm terrible at derby).
I enjoyed derby, so this is yet another change that ruins my enjoyment of the game. Between "match me" games I can't win, tourneys I enter only to lose in the first round to a team I could never beat, bonus game losing streaks after previously having a good win percentage with my same team at the same level, no matches in derby, no sprint event...I'm running out of things to enjoy about this game.
It makes perfect sense up to the point that you quit. Glu hopes you will see how much better your team could be at Diamond and that you will spend money to get there. They are assuming any frustration you feel won't prevent you from continuing to play the game.
There is no question that being overmatched led me to spend gold and get to Platinum, so I fell for it. But I won't be going to Diamond, I just don't have the resources.
Also, while I'm at this...who else hates those f****** brown bonus balls. I for one can never see the stupid things
Scranton: Previously you just had to be the same derby level as someone, as in unlocked the exact same derbies as your opponent. For example it wouldn't matter if one user had a platinum team and their opponent was only silver, they could match in the derby if they had each unlocked derbies up to 500 gold (rank 4). It seems now you can only match with people of the same overall tier, and its slim pickings in the platinum and diamond tier.
But I agree, there was little to no difference but I'm not so sure it was by design...lol. I have Trumbo as well and he hits 500 ft bombs regularly, but some of my other sluggers that are 40 points higher can't even hit it 485. Makes no sense
