I just caught hearts cheating!! East started with a spade. Two people put heats on it, another put a club, and the heart won the set!! It happening similar to that twice in a row!! I have had all of the experiences that you all have listed. It truly is a sophomoric system that they do not make it random. It is maddening when you know that they have set you up in the beginning! It would be so much more enjoyable if it were random. The only solution is to stop and give yourself a new hand, but have discovered that they have also set you up that way. These guys think it is fun, playing with our lives this way, with all of the choices that they have to mess with you!

You are exactly right. No matter what cards you pass away 95% of the time you receive the 3 highest hearts or the 3 highest spades or a mix of both. The NPC who passes to you will definitely have the cards that hurt you the most. What are the chances of that happening??? And that isn't the end of it...over 50% of the time after a certain suit has been lead twice and the NPCs lead a very low card the next one will have the next lowest and you have the highest (even if it is a 4 or 5) the last NPC WILL have the queen of hearts and pass it to you. Absolutely pathetic!

One thing you can do is to change your strategy periodically. If you have a strategy that seems to work well, the game "learns" it, and is able to counter. Change your strategy now and then. Unfortunately, I seem to be running low on effective strategies. The game knows all of my angles and moves now. Despite this, I have played and won a perfect game; five consecutive moon shoots from start to finish, shutting the other players out 100%. It will probably never happen again.

I totally agree! I've caught it cheating numerous times. I do not understand how these people who write these programs think. Is frustrating people something they get off on? Or can they not understand that making a game unwinnable is not a "challenge", but just plain ridiculous. KEEP THE GENERATOR RANDOM!!!!! Let "luck" itself decide the hands dealt. DO NOT integrate a win/loss ratio into the mix. This is just plain bad and immature programming. Microsoft should be old enough to know better and to not allow such glitched out programs into the market. As it stands, the game is sadly starved for the element of "fun".

Hearts program cheats! I've specifically caught the game cheating. Passed Ace & King Spades to the right & they ended up across the table. I think this is BULL I would expect a program to play by the rules!
