    Random pitcher selection in DD games

    Does anyone else find that the random pitcher selection for DD games is a bit off? Jacob deGrom is my best pitcher. I have his 2014 flashback card and he is rated 91. I've had his card since game 1 when I pulled him as part of the 10 pack pre-order bonus. I have played 52 DD games and deGrom has only been selected as my pitcher for 3 games!!!

    By comparison other pitchers which I acquired much later in my DD are being selected much more often. Yu Darvish selected 13 times, Michael Wacha 11 times, Jose Quintana 7, and then a bunch of lower rated players that I had when I first started out, or players that I added to the active lineup because Inside Edge gave them a rating boost. Right now only Darvish, Wacha, and Quintana are getting selected every game I play. What is also odd is sometimes I'll have the same pitcher selected 3 or 4 games in a row

    Unfair isn't really the right word, but this to just sucks.

    I do not like the random selector at all.

    I had the exact same problem. Had a Chris Sale card that I sold because after almost 20 games, I got to use him once.

    Now I'm faced with that same problem again. Pulled a Jake Arrieta card today. Probably gonna sell him to.

      That sucks. I don't mind the random selector so long as it's actually random. 3 out 52 doesn't seem equally random, it feels like your best pitcher's odds are bring weighted against. It really should be 1 in 5 odds, not 3 in 52 odds.

        Look at the bright side, you have deGrom. My highest ranked pitcher is an 82.

          There needs to be some adjustment to how it works. My pitchers are Darvish, Tanaka, Iwakuma, Buchholz & Kluber. I've played around 30 games & have used Buchholz & Kluber 10 times each.

            I swear I was coming in to post the EXACT same issue. There is no question to me the odds are favored against your best pitcher. This needs to be addressed.

                2 different times I've had bumgarner in my rotation for about 15 - 20 games each time and not once did he get to pitch so I sold him to try and complete collections

                  It was like this last year. I didnt play much DD and probably spent about $5 on packs. I didn't have anyone big. Shields was my best starter and he NEVER once got the start (I think I played about 20 games). None on line.

                  Why even have it random. Just make it that enough fatigue makes it that you can't pitch that guy for 5 days. I'm sure it can be done. At least in FIFA, resting your player replenishes the player's fatigue.

                    Haha, someone at SCEA must've read this, because I played a few DD conquest games this afternoon and deGrom got "randomly" selected 2 games in a row. Go figure, as soon as I complain, it actually starts picking him.

                      I found, at least for me, the three middle pitchers get picked more often than the first and last.

                      Changing around my rotation seemed to balance it out for me. Of course, it's so random that it could just be in my mind lol.

                        Yeah, there could be some sort of a counter that decreases after each game. And those resting pitchers are not to be selected by random. So if you've played 3 games, then 3 SPs will be in "rest" mode and you will know that on the next game one of the two remaining pitchers will be selected.

                          I posted this is another thread about this.

                          First 29 games
                          #1 - 8 Times
                          #2 - 4 Times
                          #3 - 5 Times
                          #4 - 5 Times
                          #5 - 7 Times

                          The next 5 games I went to get my #1 guy in a row.
                          Then over the next 15 games or so got #1 and 5 guys one or two times each and got my #2, 3 and 4 guys 3-5 times a piece. Then a string of 3 games with # 5 guy then a mixed bag again.

                          Also when I say #whatever i mean based on rating as rotation order doesn't matter.

                            I just wish there was a better way, because I am a casual player.

                            I only get enough time for a 9 inning game or roughly 3-4 conquest games.

                            It gets to be very frustrating when I have a diamond level pitcher that I can't use because the game constantly picks my #4 and #5 guy to start.

                            I have already sold a "Diamond" Chris Sale because after almost 20 games I got to use him only once.

                            And now I'm going through it again as I have recently pulled a Jake Arrieta. I've been able to use him only twice in the last 12 games (mostly conquest).

                              why dont you guys change them up? im sure you have other pitchers that get a higher rated inside edge rating you can use. heck, i consistantly change my pitching rotation day to day because ive had like Volquez or Ventura rated higher than Bumgarner on certain days.
