Manipulated cards

After I win a match or two I notice I can never get my plays out because it seems to purposely give me cards that can will not help me in no way on every draw. Getting nothing but my evolutions or cards like switch or energy for several turns.

    I been there... feels like it's purposely done, but then I realize it's the poor TCG Live devs behind it... no way they could come up with that kind of elaborated scheme.

    im the exact same way guys, whenever i play the tcg in real life i always look at my opponents cards while they take a break and they have the best cards ever up next, just shameless cheating, and they probably do the same thing in the online game too

    lol yeah there’s no way a computer can calculate that the second you enter a battle lol

    Of course it can and I’m sure it’s because random can not be truly generated so the cpu has to rely on the programming that will end up repeating it self

    Look up Hanlon's Razor. Completely applicable in this situation.

    lol so I’m just paranoid… no if you think that you are in denial. Being so reliant on technology you think it’s flawless. Or you just blindly believe what ever is convenient. It obviously does some kind of handicap when battling less experienced or lower rank players. Which means random does not exist and can not exist in any program. It’s impossible to tel a computer to do something random especially in cards a pattern will always show. Just because you can’t predict what is next does not mean random.

    So @DeFShoT420 tell us more about your credentials in computer programming. "Random" is usually generated by… well anybody could look it up.

    @stealthboy2600 is correct. Hanlon's Razor. It's random. End of story.
