Gentlemen,
She almost broke me last night, but I won't waiver. In the end, she won't win. I have the will and I will fight. I am the most stubborn Sumbitch known to man. No amount of frickery is going to stop me. I am determined. I will win....eventually. Maybe. Ok, probably not, but at least I can say I'm not spending any real money.
I've detailed my pissing and moaning here on WoH too often. I know, I know: everyone has to deal with it. Impossible pitches nowhere near the zone. Makes the game more challenging and decreases your margin for error while trying to win. I made the finals 15 times yesterday, only to get curved 14 times. I detailed the first 9 in the thread. Here is how the other six went. I promise this pissing and moaning session will get better:. Yes, for those wondering, I have a "favorable matchup" in each of these. Sometimes nearly triple because I was wasting effing gold too. That's another item I still hate myself for.
1) 9 straight curves nowhere near. This was the sixth or 7th time total at this point this happened. Video reboot
2) 6 straight curves, two hits, curved
3) 6 straight curves, one hit, curved. Video reboot
4) Three curves, four hits, six curves
5) Six straight curves, five hits (three runs), curved. Video reboot
6) Two straight hits!! Holy hell! I'm so excited! I may have a chance! JK LOL. Next pitch over the middle, I drill it to what I thought would be left-center. Nope. Straight to the SS, who then turns a TRIPLE PLAY.
At that point, I just quit HoF. I was so effing mad. 15 times through and I got curved 14 of them, and one TP.
To make myself feel better, I did the equivalent of WoH masturbation: I went back to Classic and beat it again, just because.
WoH HoF, to me, is like going to the state fair and finding the biggest and best toy is at the basketball booth. You see those big shiny hoops and you think to yourself "Oh I got this, no problem". Each round is $5. You hand the toothless redneck behind the booth a $20. He takes your money, then reaches under the counter and hands you a ball that is twice the size of the hoop. You know there is literally no way to win, but you shoot anyway because you are a stubborn Sumbitch. You inevitably miss. You know you can't win, so you give the oversized ball back to the redneck and state that you would like your $15 change. He then tells you he didn't see you give him a 20, you only gave him a 5. If you don't like it, he will get his big hairy brother in law (who is also his biological brother) to kick your ass. So you walk away...deceived and heart broken because that toy you know you could win (IF YOU JUST HAD A FAIR SHOT) just sits there.
Looking forward to Wednesday so I can win another useless player for the multipliers!

I am using dbl RHP Kruk. 12/12 boost attributes. Each time I used the video boost too, or I dropped 80 gold. Each time, it stated my matchup was not only favorable, but several times the Krukster had nearly triple the favorability. When I used 80 gold it would usually just be six curves out the gate or three. The games I was allowed some straight pitches were all 80 gold games. Such a waste. The triple play game was an 80 gold too.
It got to a point where I could play through 6.1-6.9 in less than 7-8 minutes. All favorable matchups there too, but when I got to the final, I got bent over.

Oh, I get plenty of attention at home.
In fact, I got Kudos from the wife for not destroying my device. She and I were sitting together on those last six rounds and she watched a few. She very much understands baseball, and asked "why do you waste your time on that if it is hard coded for you to lose every time? Please don't spend any more money on this."
I assured her I wouldn't, but that I was going to keep playing because I am determined to win. WoH HoF is now like the girl that keeps turning me down. Just makes me want her more. Ugh.

For the poster above, I DO take the curves. I quit trying to swing at them after about the 8th game. I just took them each time. Would watch those big ole loops start out around third base and end up in the middle of the right-handed hitters box. Couple of times I thought I was hit by the pitch, but it would literally go through me on the inside "strikes".
For the poster asking about team upgrades: I'm new so please clarify. Is that pennants? If so, he's maxed out there too.
I'll keep collecting PXP and try and get his attributes to 15.
BTW, I can fly through Classic and All Star with only losing a few times. Kruk is unstoppable in those areas.
Tomorrow for Royale, I will likely play through it three to four times.
This is only happening in 6.10 HoF. It is very consistent too. This is every effing week.

Of course all my team upgrades are at 40/40 and pennants also at 40/40. I didn't even use a gold boost in 6.9 or 6.10, only video boost.
So it is doable. Maybe not 15-20 times like some people do, but at silver you don't need that many. I only did 2 because I was slow playing with Cabrera for club points so it took me a long time to come back.
By the way, Ellis/Feller was way easier than Rivera/Blue from last 2 weeks.
I won Rizzuto out of a box a few weeks ago. I saw mythicaldragon won with him too. I am also silver.
Yes, Ellis/Feller did seem like I had more of a chance, since the past few weeks I only got past MR once. Only trip to VB was also 9 curves.
You silver guys winning gives me hope. I'll do it next week.
Oh, who am I kidding. I'll get curved to death again.

Yes, team upgrades are all maxed out for the level I am at. Everything is full bar. Pennants too on my top five guys.
@dfbb, thank you for the comment. I know I whine a lot here, but that's just me venting. I still very much enjoy the game, but I do go through moments of rage, which I can keep to myself. My whining sessions are intended to be funny. After all, that is really all you can do when it happens. Either that or break stuff, but I'm too old for that now, and I also have to pay for it.

1)I always swing at the first pitch if it's over the middle of the plate(yes, even curves).
2)I only swing at pitches on the corners if the runner I can potentially move over is the tying/winning run. Otherwise, I take those for a 3rd strike. On the bright side, you will never hit into a DP when the pitches are on the corners.
3)Never swing at pitches on the corners if you have a man on 3rd with less than two outs and he represents the winning run. You will either pop up or it will be a grounder to the pitcher and he'll get thrown out. If that same runner represents the tying run, swing away.
4)One of the only ways to mess up a 'hittable' AB is to swing early. Swinging late is like a buffer, but you want to time it just before that point.
I don't buy into pennants for WoH, but imo, skills/upgrades are everything. In particular, skills are the difference between those that multi cycle with ease and those that hemorrhage gold and/or only get through a handful of times.
I have yet to cycle WOH HOF. I get to a point where all I see are unhittable curves and then when I do make contact, it’s a wet noodle groundball for an easy out. So when I’m not having fun any more, I put my phone down and do something else. Like literally anything else. You might think about doing the same.
