And again! This is consistently happening, not getting matched up with bronze players, only silver, anyone else going through this unbelievably unfair issue?
Are you sure about that ? I brought both my teams to B6 playoffs over the last few weeks, and my alt team had way better win % for those BGs than my main team (maybe 75% for alt vs 40% for main) even though it had a bunch more wins than my main. Sure feels like something has changed vs 19 on how matchups are determined
Do you mean wins in a certain level? So if I move up to silver it will get better? And if not how does that make sense, if I continue to lose I will stop playing to stop the bleeding and of course no more spending $ as it becomes useless to do so.

In your case, maybe sample size is responsible for the discrepancy, but I can't say for certain. Based on what I've seen, however, it appears to be very similar to '19.

I've played since '17 and matchups are always based on total 'wins.' That number was tweaked for '19(worse for us), but the concept itself appears unchanged. When you move up tiers, things will get better for awhile, but you'll soon run into the same issues.

That’s exactly what I am talking about, some of my club members are pretty much very similar to my team and at same b level yet the win % varies, it just doesn’t make any sense.

It sure felt more extreme than 19 to me, but yeah it's hard to say/prove.
It’s been an ongoing thing with Glu. Way back in Tap 14-15 you could go at your own pace and expect a reasonable amount of fair matchups. But people still complained about getting badly overmatched. So in 16 auto level up was introduced where your team would get automatically moved up when you hit a certain team strength. No one liked this so in 17 they went to the wins model. This is the worst of all because it quickly makes the game difficult and frustrating for dedicated players. The fallacy of the wins model is that they aren’t all equal. The rewards from a typical prime or season game aren’t much. These shouldn’t count at all but they do. And the way they sandbag you is you get to face teams from higher tiers and then you have to ask what is the point of having tiers at all other than to make more money, which is the only reason they exist.
Correct @DFBB I believe silver will be about 1200 GP when u start seeing gold teams. After that it will just get worse and worse.
I saw Gold teams yesterday in silver and I hadnt even even hit 400 wins yet, as I approached 500 it was more then half the time. Granted they werent strong gold teams and still won alot of them but it appears it happens alot earlier this year.
I’ve got 250 wins in bronze and every bonus game is against a silver team for me. I’m not going to play their game and level up now because of it because Glu has already taught me that the players I have now will be worthless in two months.
I’m silver at a little more than 700 games played, 630 wins, and am facing gold teams. Glu wants you to move up and will try to push you towards moving up

Im fine everywhere else, but season matchups are brutal. If it’s this hard with 105 wins....🤷♂️
Just a Silver team from the wrong side of the tracks, so what do I know? 🤷

Yeah, that’s why I moved to Silver very quickly, knowing bronze would be difficult. Well, I still have 100 games till playoffs, won’t that be fun. If I make playoffs 😂

I’m at the playoffs to go gold. I always rush through to the 6th level before pausing because I know those games will only get harder

yea i didnt do that for Bronze and paid for it last week, so definitely did that with Silver this week
@TBWepa can I ask how you nabbed 3mil in blue cash already 😂🤣
I went silver ASAP when released. Put all my cash on hitting. Leveled up everything else to only 15/40. Then straight HR battles for cash, glove points for loyalty boxes, and cycling Slugfest
@TBWepa If you go gold, battles are almost non-existent at the moment. At least, gold battles.
Yea that’s what I heard. I did it anyways, going to help me with WoH hopefully and by the time I’m legit max 10/10 the traffic will come into gold. I got a sick lineup for battles now too. Picked up Dietrich, Voglebach, and Renfro this week. Couldn’t nab Sano though. I will prob stick to cash battles for the mean time and build resources back up.
