A thing i noticed with the engine that it's now behaves like the lyrics from the Joe Walsh song "In the City":
It's survival in the city
When you live from day to day
City streets don't have much pity
When you're down, that's where you'll stayI know Blondie has been vocal and in that last game I just played - it took a **** of a lot for me to over-turn the engine from losing and to come back for the W.
Upshot: sustained losing streaks where you can't break out from the shackled bear trap are happening more.
