Re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

Unfortunately my chances of getting Shaq are now gone as I broke my phone screen earlier and only just got it fixed so that was some wasted RP on hot streaks lol

Re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

I know everyone is having a hard time swallowing this first RttC, so I just wanted to put some perspective into things.

Last RttC of 2k15:

• Started on Midnight Friday (from what I remember)
• Time available: 66 hrs
• Time needed if can go +14 all the way: 69.3 hrs (GNs needed)
  

First RttC of 2k16:

• Starts 9 AM Thursday
• Time available: 81 hrs
• Time needed if can go +14 all the way: 53.9 hrs
  

The +14 is for comparative purposes only since HS can be bought using freely earned RP. It would only take a 156 HS and 75 HS pack to cover it (about 216 games to complete). I didn't want to bore everyone with the math, but I'd be happy to share if needed.



Let me know if I missed something (it happens on occasion).

I think the problem that most ppl have an issue with is the higher point totals. Comparing an all PO RTTC to one that starts with Rare and ends with MVP is a bad comparison. If you can't get all the way in the all PO lineup you still end up with a PO card. With the higher point totals with this RTTC you cannot lose your way to a card that may help your lineup which imo is the biggest difference between the old RTTC & new RTTC when comparing similar setups (common - Greats vs rare - MVP). Last yr being able to grind Sat & Sun with losses to get a Greats or Star or Leg to help my deck was great. This yr there aren't even enough game nights to grind out an epic with losses due to the higher point totals.

ah, very good point! i neglected that aspect of the game. i too grinded out a loss for a POtG card back in 2k15. i swear losing my way through that last card was more excruciating than going through all the cards up to that point.

but anyway, that brings up a good point and is probably why CD implemented those higher point totals. great catch.

Re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

Hi all, i would like to ask if 13 leg pros with stat charged is enough to beat +7 shaq's lineup?

Pretty sure the last RTTC and the 3 or 4 before that started on Wednesday at midnight pst. Remember they extended the time for both RTTC and RC after the Bill Russell RTTC. Probably because many players weren't even trying to finish. I know I didn't try for that one. I went to the first great card and quit.

I did the approximately 4,000 points in less than 3 days for the Finals RTTC (+10 on the last 3 or 4 cards too). Never again.

But without that, it makes the event pointless. If +2 or losing your way to a card is not really an option, then what's the benefit to make up for the cost.

If a player can win +5 or +7 on a card, then more than likely the card won't help them enough to justify the cost to get it.

You are right with the calculations, but you ignored some other facts

In mynba2k15, a 156 HS pack cost 1200 credits(I'm not too sure about this, been a while since I played lol, but i think this was the right number)

In mynba2k16, a 156 HS pack costs 48000 RP.

Remember, credits were the in game currency last year just like rp this year, and even if you convert 48k rp to credits, that is still 4.8k credits, 4 times as much as what last year's app used to cost

In mynba2k15, one game night cost 25 credits, 5 cost 100 while in this year's app, one costs 50, 5 costs 200(note that this is in CREDITS, meaning that you have to purchase them with real money)

hmmm. yeah, i can't remember for sure. i just know the forum always complained because RC got longer and RttC got shorter.

CD being the "evil" entity it is, longer RCs and shorter RttCs is what would create the most revenue (buy HS for RC, buy GNs for RttC).

you could very well be right, but i can't remember being able to get a full nights sleep for 4 nights straight during RttC without making up with GNs lol

hey yiy! nice to see some of the old regime drop by on occasion.

i'm not in any way saying the changes are better or worse. i just like to state what it is. in this case, i was trying to help people feel better lol it's up to each individual to determine if they like it or not (and those opinions are rarely swayed).

there's def pros and cons with the division of credits/RP. i think CD tried to define the equality between loyal paying vs loyal playing and credits/RP was their best idea (hence the dramatic difference in weight and buying power between the two).

Mid July they extended both to start Wednesday at midnight.

That change was made permanent just after the 1960's RTTC with Russell and the RC where they "accidently" made it a day longer. That RC wax when people were most vocal about longer RC and shorter RTTC.
