Great Game

I love this app. My grandparents taught my brother and I how to play pitch a few months ago and we love it. Since we can’t always be together, this app is a great way to still play. I love how customizable everything is, you can even change the names of the AI players and the colorizations for the cards and table. We typically play 5-point with a few rules that my grandpa likes to add in, with this app it was so easy to create and use the custom set of rules that mirrors exactly how our family plays.

The Best????

I really enjoy playing pitch however, where I live not many people have heard of the game. So I rely on these apps. Yours had been the best. Now I have discovered a big flaw in the program , it doesn’t like to lose. I have changed the settings. I have deleted the app and reinstalled it but it still is the same.. When east or west has the bid each of them will have 3-4 trump in hand.., when my partner has trump I have none. My partner bids 3 consistently and loses 80% of those bids. Lastly when I am left with the bid I will not have any face cards in my hand at least 75% of the time… I am not a hard loser I’m still playing and I will win a game or two. I have learned to only bid when you have an ace because your opponent has it ! I only want to let you know what I think I have noticed about your game… I have played others and I will stick with yours.. I was hoping you could make it a little more fair Thanks Norm
I am still having the same issue with your game… you took the time and responded to me and said that it was all random… however I don’t really believe it
I will admit that I make mistakes and I am not a perfect player…. But the constant three bids by my partner and I can see that he doesn’t even have three trump in his hand is wrong… and that is definitely on you
Please look into this… Thank you, Norm

Glad to hear you are enjoying NeuralPlay Pitch. Thank you for your review. The deals are not biased to any seat. It is just luck. We play on levels 1 and 2 for a relaxing game.
Levels 4+ use an advanced Monte Carlo Simulation AI. Roughly, this deals many hands of the unknown cards and plays them to the end, trying each legal play (or bid). The best legal play on average is chosen. This results in some good plays on the higher levels. And of course a few bad ones too. We are continuing to work on improvements and have made some recently. Please check out our recent update.

I WANT A NEW PARTNER !

I could like this game, but the AI is off. I have been in contact with support and have tried what they have suggested. I have also tried playing on levels 2, 3, and 4. On all three levels my partner is a terrible player and my opponents are incredibly lucky. They say cards are dealt randomly, however, my opponents not only have an unusual number of good hands, but they also seem to know what their partner has. My partner constantly outbids me whenever I have a decent hand and often doesn’t make the bid. They also don’t make their bid a lot. Why would my partner lead a deuce of whatever suit they named as trump on the first play?! I make points only to have my partner lose points. It’s frustrating enough that I may delete the app. It’s too bad because it could be a good game.

Developer Response ,

Thank you for your review. We are working on an update to improve the AI play. It should be available in the next week. The AI does bid quite aggressively by default. You can adjust the bidding aggressiveness in settings.
