SWGOH.GG Battlelogs

CG has been working with swgoh.gg to make this feature happen. They wanted to add battle logs and determined the best way for them to do it was to outsource it to swgoh.gg. This is information that is not normally available otherwise. So let's not act like CG has no control over how this information is released and I would find it very surprising if they just gave out access to the info without having any idea how swgoh.gg was planning to release it.

Maybe, or perhaps they were focused on other things and didn't consider suggesting that swgoh.gg recode their profile system for this new addition that they could work on. At the end of the day, it's not a demand they can make, whether they thought of it or had involvement in it or neither. People spend so much time complaining about CG on these forums, but this isn't something to be fixed by them.

I honestly can't believe this was OK'ed. How would anyone think not putting this behind a login was OK? In a world where we see privacy issues in the news daily? All you can do is laugh at this point. All the swgoh.gg people were doing was fulfilling requirements.

Having said all that something is better than nothing although it would be trivial for them to do this themselves and catch cheaters fairly easily through an automated system. Now we can all have fun virtually paying them more money by working for free as cheat detectors.

I can tell you right now that people have already scraped all that data and wouldn't be shocked if it's put up as an alternate website. Teams change and will pass... with time... but wow... just wow.

This doesn't discourage cheating. Bulldog just released a follow up to his infamous cheating video showing that cheating is still possible and this won't detect it.

Cheaters simply use a plausible team, turn up their offense by 10% or so, defense up by 25% or so, and these swgoh.gg "battle logs" still don't show if any toons hit harder than their mods would allow or took less damage than their mods would allow.

Do basically CG still has no automated cheat detection system and is relying on players to detect and report, which they can't with these battle logs unless it's something super blatant and obvious.

They would easily be able to detect cheaters through different coding mechanisms or even something as simple as examining thresholds (wouldn't catch it all but would be a simple start). There are limits to how hard or squishy any individual character can be.

You're right, they would. Which is why it's so baffling they don't.

Anyone noticed his GA opponent win with a single CUP squad ?

To all those whining because others will see your defenses... try alternating your defenses and use your brain (if you have one, wich is not sure seeign your reactions)

If you are going to call people dumb, proof read your post first ROFL

I think I have the most optimal defense for my roster, trying to alternate would just weaken it

This.

Plus, any good player will customize their defense to any glaring weaknesses on the opposing roster. I decide my defensive teams after looking at my opponent's roster in detail, figuring out which teams will cause them the most problems, and I also figure out if I can spare any of my top offensive choices.

I know what you both mean, but to some degree I would say this in favour of the alternative too. It is very rare for me to have a surprise in my opponents defense in GA, simply because after playing a few you begin to see which teams more people put on defense and what goes on offense. You can usually guess at least some of the teams you will end up facing based on the counters you don't have and generally the only surprise is when someone goes very heavily defensive or offensive, in which case you can win because they lose too many points attacking or being attacked. Being able to set unexpected teams is key, and what might qualify as unexpected can vary match to match. Ultimately it will be nice when they change it, one less thing to think about at least, but equally it will be interesting while it lasts and I look forward to the novelty for the time being.

Or you could do like the #1 player last GAC and collude with your opponents for straight trash defenses so all your matches are 1v5 or 2v5....

Yo @huntleveler how dare you solo my ewoks with nest!? I will find you and i will beat you again lol
