First, let me say that GLU has done a lot to keep guys playing this year. Better deals earlier in the season, keepers, etc. But I'm quickly losing interest, especially in prime event and bonus games, which accounts for HALF of the game. I'm silver and I have a 5* team (with several specialty players), and I'm consistently losing to teams 20k strength below me. Yes, team upgrades are maxed. I'm at 1200 games or so, which shouldn't be enough to "sandbag" me.
If GLU is going to sandbag, why not match me against teams that it makes sense to lose to? It just makes me not want to play the game when I consistently lose to teams that I should logically be beating. When you lose the 2nd game of a streak multiple times, you just don't want to play. Idk. Just ranting.
Anyone else finding that this is an issue?

Man, I don't know about that. I don't see any better deals. The mountain of gold specials have been $80 and $90 instead of the $70 that was consistently available in 18. You're only getting 9 boxes instead of 10 in those Sunday box bundles. That's just a couple of examples. Also, the keepers was something that was a great idea and was pushed by a bunch of folks who have legitimate pull with Glu (VIP council members, etc) and Glu took their idea and instead of giving us something great that we all asked for, they took that idea and morphed it into another big money grab with the 5x cost of leveling them. It's a slap in the face imo.
Sorry for the side-rant, but yeah, there's a whole lot of things I'm not too happy about. I'll keep playing for now, but I do feel like we're moving backwards. So I guess we can agree on that, but just not for the same reason(s).
In other words, if Players A and B both pull a 5 star Trout, but Player A is a better hitter and his Trout carries a .400 avg, while Player B is still figuring things out and his Trout is only batting .275, would that difference be reflected in different success levels in autoplay scenarios against the same opponents?
