PNO Player Control wins not counting sometimes

[Krucialist]

Not sure if this is a known bug or something but I cannot get out of the JV league because it doesnt count my wins all the time, even though it counts the game against the number of tries I get to advance.

So I went 7-3 in the JV division yesterday. It only takes 5 wins to move up, I won 7, but it showed the tiers as though I still needed to win my Tier 1 and Tier 2 games. I can even look at match history and see the games that I won but nonetheless, somehow they didnt count.

So Im on my 3rd attempt at the JV division. I am currently 3-1 on the day, but of course only my Tier 3 wins counted, and not the two Tier 2 wins that I just completed. And yes I just realized as I was typing this that my record should be 4-1 on the day....

-Used Dwight Howard in first game (Won)
-Used Lonzo Ball in 2nd Game (Won)
-Used Nikola Vucevic (Lost)
-Used Brandon Ingram (Won)
-Used Deandre Jordan (Won)

All I really wanted for team up was to have a ranked team up mode, the ability to choose a player regardless of which team you are assigned to, and more players to choose from. I got all of those things this year, and yet team up is looking like the thing I will play the least at this rate because its so difficult now.

Games not counting, small player pool so it takes forever to just get 6 players, no public matchmaking option when partied up with friends

Have had this happen to me too. It sucks man.

I started playing regular play now online and moved up a few tiers and I can't even get into a game with player control now.

Dude tbh i dont think no one cares about your record in pno - player control. That game mode is full of cancerous ballhogs who just wanna shoot the ball everytime they get it. Every game i played so far i just rage quit all of them because the guard would literally try to layup over 5 people. Its a good game mode if you play with friends but the randoms online are just something else that dont understand team basketball..

I dont get it, if you wanna ballhog the ball all the time, why not just play quick game or just regular PNO where you can control all 5 guys and ballhog all you want?? Why ruin the mode for other players that actually wanna play team ball. Its just head scratching.

In truth, I dont care all that much about the record. My biggest complaint about the wins not counting, is my inability to rank up to higher leagues.

I know that if i keep going, I wont even be able to get a game in, as the player base shrinks dramatically with every level. But I honestly love the idea of ranked team up, where there is some means of sorting people by their perceived level of skill.

I actually did see a noticeable increase in skill from Freshman to JV. The freshman league was a complete disaster of a time. Those people are generally awful in every conceivable way. The JV league players are kind of bad, but I can see basketball ideas going through their heads. Yes their execution isnt great but at least they are thinking. I want to see how much better it can get as I move upwards.
