I'm just saying, this Bonus Games thing is out of hand lol. Losing 5 BGs in a row is crazy. I know Glu likes to keep it interesting when you're closing in on a level boost, but this is extreme lol 😩
Guess I'm still clinging to last season when it was simpler. 😢
We're not going to max out 3 to 4 ⭐ bonus players just to win the bonus games. 🤷🏻♂️

Maybe I'm an outlier. I'm at P6 and I win at a very high rate. I have all the way through silver, gold and now.
I've also been relatively patient at making sure my team is built properly. I focus on my upgrades.
I'm only one person, so I'm not going to say the matchmaking algorithm isn't broken. But from my perspective, I haven't seen any issues at all.
For those that say it kicks in at a certain level of wins/games played, I'm currently 4974-266.
So I've played plenty of games. I'm about 200 BGs away from maxing out P6 and I'm going to be playing most of those today, but won't be going Diamond until the end of the month.
yes the game is pushing leveling. But it's also important to be patient. I see guys going platinum with 60k strength teams and all i can think is thats crazy.
You aren't going to "win" the game in may. Think real baseball. It's a long season. Be more patient.
yep, that's exactly where i'm at too.
I'm 3234-137, P6, and I haven't ever had the slightest inkling that the game was turning on me. I just yesterday closed out P6 and the playoff series is sitting there unplayed.
Tomorrow, the game may decide that I'm done winning, but it hasn't happened yet.
I think one thing guys need to remember.
I am making an assumption here, but I'm guessing its relatively safe.
I am willing to guess that the majority of guys slow play. There are probably more teams in the Silver and Gold tiers than the Platinum or Diamond Tiers. This means that when it comes to matchmaking, you have teams in silver ranging from 20k TS up to 80+k TS. You need to keep this in mind with staying in silver. yes, it's easier to build and save resources, but the pool of teams you are competing against is likely exponentially larger. So your odds of going up against a whale of a silver team is better. It does seem a lot of these people having this issue are sitting in the tiers where people are staying and building their teams.
just an on the spot theory I have.

Yeah that is a good point. For some the problem with BG's is the matchups, for me it's consistently losing to teams with a TS 30k less than mine. That's what I have a hard time understanding. I won the majority of BG's when I had a TS around 50k going against teams that were around 40k, now i'm losing to similar teams but my TS is 76k. It's honestly not a huge deal to me since i'm more interested in WOF, CvC, etc...I just find all of this interesting.
thing start to change as you approach 4000 games. Two weeks ago I was hammering folks. Today I’m down to maybe a 50-60% win rate
And sometimes you might temporarily have one or two bonus players in your lineup (not leveled above bronze) for a prime event, CVC or whatever. So you might not be at full strength when that snapshot in time occurs.
It would be interesting to see the results other teams have against me though.
