There are several problems with Canasta. One is that there seems to be no accuracy in the ratings. On several occasions, when I have completed and won a game, and it shows the rating, the next time I get ready to play a game, my rating will be lower than it was, even though I hadn't played a game in the interim. Today, is an example. I won a game, and my rating was over 1000. When I left and later came back to play, it was 975. Also, all scoring in Canasta ends in either 5 or 0, yet the ratings will often end in numbers that are neither. I don't understand how that can happen since your rating is supposed to go up or down depending on your game score. In addition, you have changed the rules in Canasta without giving any reasons. An example of this is that when someone has melded a canasta, s/he should not be able to pick up cards that can play on that canasta from the discard pile unless s/he holds a pair of the cards in his/her hand. However, that is not the case. I don't understand how you can legally change the rules. I also don't understand why a player cannot change the options in ranked games. I liked the old Canasta and Pogo much better. At least in that you could see players' minis and profiles, and you had an option as to whether or not you wanted to allow a player in the game. There was an opportunity to get to know players, etc. Everything in this new Canasta is very detached and impersonal. If you didn't want to play someone in the old Canasta, you could mute or block them. Another thing I really dislike is the control of the lighting in a game. It will be nice and bright but then it becomes very dark, making it hard to chat. There are other things I could note, but I'm going to stop here for now. lghsalot925
