I'm 100% convinced that the game is rigged towards those who buy it. Completely convinced. I have played over 800 games on my iPod and had 350+ on my Fascinate (before it went haywire and I had to swap it 7 different times). I was ranked below 10,000. Over the last couple months, every game against a buyer of the game goes EXACTLY the same way...I take a huge lead, 7,8,9 straight HRs. Then I hit the amazingly consistent 364ft ball to center field (fence is 365) and my streak ends. Then, after a few more consecutive HRs, I'll swing and miss 3-4 times in a row. Straight pitches, nothing fancy. After over 1,000 games, I can hit a straight pitch. Then I'll actually be allowed to hit one, and wouldn't you know it...it goes 357ft. My opponent, who was getting destroyed, makes an amazing comeback and I lose. I've dropped thousands in the rankings now. I was once somewhere around 350-150 (wins and losses) now around 420-390.
When I play people who haven't purchased the game, the scenario starts the same...huge lead, 7, 8, 9 straight but I don't hit the 364ft ball. Instead I blitz them out and win.
How can this be??
