I just did the exact same thing. Pulled Throwback Felix Hernandez from the box. Had some inactives I wanted to trade in, and I did so before I locked Throwback Felix. Sent in a customer service ticket. Fingers crossed.
Personally, I have decided to not spend actual money on the game any longer. I can’t imagine what the criteria is, but I have exceeded what another guy in my club has done thus far. If I get VIP finally after two years of trying, I’ll open my walle…
Thanks @Houmy
I always assumed you had to at least have a certain amount of innings played to get the win. Otherwise, people would just use other accounts to start Match Me games against themselves, only to quit after an inning.
I put him as Setup Man. And I made sure my Closer was rated a good bit lower. That way, he pitches the 8th and 9th inning. If I put him as my RP1, it doesn’t let me select a SM or Closer until the 8th inning
