  • 1700 games played. All 5* players (mostly specialty players). All team upgrades and players capped at silver (Keepers with skills at 5 and Legend with skills at 8). Tried playing twice yesterday before I quit. Lost at game 3 BOTH times. I know GLU tries to sandbag, but the reality is that even with sandbagging, I should be…
  • @J12997967 I don't know how GLU sets up their algorithms, but it's certainly not based on stats.
  • @Bigpredfan you bring up an interesting point. I remember going 0/102 on boxes one weekend last year when odds were 25/1000. Sometimes I wonder if the odds displayed are accurate, but you have to reach a certain number of pulls before they level out. For instance, once you hit 40 pulls, you get 2 5* pretty quick after…
  • I went against my better judgment this week, but only because I had some extra gold. Rule of thumb is if you don't get it on the first pull, it's usually going to take 4-5. I've NEVER gotten a POTW on the 2nd pull unless I pulled one on the 1st box. If you miss on the first box, you can pretty much bet that it's gonna take…
  • P.S. why the he!! don't stats matter? There is NO reason why my Silver Keeper Boggs (capped with skills at 5) should have any trouble beating Baez at 4.6. That BLOWS MY MIND. I understand WOH will be difficult, but STATS SHOULD MATTER. The algorithm shouldn't be set to dish out a win or loss. It should be set to evaluate…
  • Don't get me started on Season mode. I won two Seasons earlier in the year. Just got to quarterfinals and outranked the opponent by a good 10k. Had my keeper pitching, which is better than any 5* available right now and lost 2 in a row by 10 runs. I haven't played a single season game in over a week because of it. As far…
  • @Houmy ah, ok. I quit towards the end of 17 and came back late 18, so I must have missed the introduction. I guess I was going off of what I had heard. Thanks for the clarification.
  • @JEDDDOGGY I agree that they haven't done MUCH to help us out, but they've made small attempts. As for the deals, I just meant they're pushing the better deals from 2018 earlier in the season this year. I think they ran 15k gold for $99.99 this weekend. Granted, I'm still not buying, but at least they aren't waiting until…
  • I'm finding that team strength is a terrible indicator. I just made a post about prime game and bonus games. I couldn't even win my second game of the streak this weekend. I've only played 1200 or so games and I'm capped at silver (maxed 5* and team upgrades). I'm consistently losing to teams that are 20k team strength…
  • I think skills were introduced last year. I could be wrong. But that's probably why they are earlier this year. It was a new addition last year.
  • This has been a long time coming. With new players coming out almost daily, the game isn't really worth the investment unless odds improve. So kudos to GLU for increasing the odds.
  • 1. Rooted means, you've basically "jailbroken" your device, or increased the user privileges to allow you to make drastic changes to the file system.2. A virtual space is software that essentially creates an alternate, virtual device. If you run it on a computer, it will allow you to run an alternate operating system…
  • I want VIP, but grad school takes all my money :'(
  • Rooted devices and virtual spaces are autojail from what I understand, so it doesn't matter whether or not you "cheated" if you fall into either of those categories. If you don't fall into those categories and you sincerely didn't cheat, try to open a new ticket with a different CS rep and plead your case.
  • We'll probably see Vlad 2.0 before his dad.
  • He could go in the BLOOPER REELS Box. haha
  • Also, wouldn't it be cool if you could make your Custom Legend the mascot for whatever team you choose (ie. choose the Astros, and your custom legend is an animated Orbit)?
  • I totally agree with this. Whole different licensing ballgame, though. At the same time, I can see them making more money with additional features like this.
  • @Houmy well, if they're willing to add a couple of new legends into the mix, I think I'm okay with 34 versions of Trout. haha.
  • I have heard that choosing a terrible MLB team improves scores. I tried it, and it worked for me. I switched from the Astros to the Orioles. Much better so far. Maybe it's a myth, maybe not. I don't really know.
  • Noted. I think it's more advantageous to have the custom legend as a switch to use in WOH. Since he'll improve throughout the year, I find more value in using him for WOH than slugfest. And I agree leveling helps, but you still have to hit the ball just right to get it over the wall. Otherwise, you have to go center or…
  • Great info from @Houmy. Following what he said about saving resources before advancing to a new level (Bronze to Silver), I would also add that I like to have current players and team upgrades maxed. Then I save resources for a bit until I have enough to level up my main players AND hitting/trainer/pitching coach/pitch…
  • Just FYI-I've been playing since beta, so I have a few 5* at silver 9 and it DOESN'T make it easier to hit over the wall. So, LH are pretty worthless even after leveling them. I wouldn't invest resources. But to each his own.
  • Given the fact that you don't have a lot of options for solid LH with good double skills, I'd go Molitor, Mays, John team B. Solid choices for WOH where you'll probably get most of your good players.
  • GLU has already said that your Create A Legend will improve throughout the year as well, so creating a switch-hitting C may be a solution that allows you to bring two other position player studs. And I tend to gravitate toward choosing a RH with double LH skills and a LH with double RH skills. Those skills, when…
  • I got a gift once that was loaded with tons of BXP, PXP, LXP, cash, and 20k gold. Had no way of knowing what the gift was when I collected it. Was instantly jailed and CS wouldn't return my team. Didn't have a SS of the gift because I was in such a hurry to tell my club mates to collect the gift. Seems like these…
  • @Madswagoo Support just got back to me yesterday saying they are in the process of correcting mismatched keeper skills, so should be soon.
