    Why aren't the way they select the rotation completely random in Play vs Friend?

    I haven't done DD ranked so I don't know if it's the same there, but having played 20+ Play vs Friend games it has been very easily 70% of our matchups being my #1 vs his #1 pitcher. I read last year that most often the pitcher in the #4 spot got picked.

    It's very clear whatever the case may be that the algorithim is not random and there is something funky going on. It gets tired playing the same pitchers over and over again I would love to face all 5 of my friends pitchers but the #2 and #3 starters I have never faced, as well as never using my own. This is in 20+ games and not an exaggeration. I really hope they are more random in DD ranked because it will get stale fast with matchups always being the top pitchers dueling each other

    Theres no way its random like everyone says. To me, it tries to matchup the pitchers who are most even, whatever pitching spot 1-5 that might be.

    I pitched with Tyson Ross, my number 5 starter the other day 12 games in a row in conquest mode, the chances of that happening if they were truly random would be insane and I should have played the lottery.

    Today I have pitched with Carlos Carrasco in all of my games, probably about 5.
