Re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

A guy just won my season by using 3 common cards in his deck along with mostly all event cards proed. I faced him 3 times in the regular season where all of his common cards were played, but I lost by 1 pt all 3 times. Met him in the playoffs and had another 1 point loss, but he won by like 10 the other 3 games.

So that strategy is definitely working by allowing you to be matched up against weaker trams while still being able to win most games if your Commons are played. Of course you can't overdue it, but it looks like 3 of them works.

good info. do you know if he ended up winning the season?

also, what's your lineup like if you don't mind me asking? since the purpose of throwing in weaker cards is to have easier season match ups, i'm curious as to how much easier that season was.

Re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

With how scoring is, it actually isn't as big of a risk as you think....especially since throwing them in their decreases the overall strength of your team (and matches you up against decks that aren't necessarily as strong). It's the same principle that people use when throwing in random terrible cards into their QG decks to avoid charged lineups, etc. The system doesn't punish you if enough for having commons so even if you lose 1 quarter you could possibly make it up in other quarters. Only way you get screwed is like if half of your season deck is commons. If you just keep it to like 5 or less, I think the impact would be minimal. One of those guys on FB said he won his season a record of like 95-3 using commons

looks like i know what i'm trying next season lol

The games up again. No Star tier yet

Doesn't the star cards have to come from a title update?

Re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

I think a new tier would require an update.
Still waiting...

That's my lineup and like I said he had all proed event cards, with maybe 2 regular leg pros and the 3 Commons. He won the finals 4-1.

Maybe they set it up this time so that the new cards in catalog will only trigger after the pregame is up...

Have been off the OS/Twitter grid lately so not sure if new event was confirmed this week... maybe big new update (no guarantees that Apple/Google/Amazon/etc. app stores release at the same time) will require week off from events to incorporate new tier for all users (or an event with no new cards, just retreads)... Because Lord knows the (crap)storm that would be unloaded in the universe should there be any major missteps like in previous apps...

Re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

RTTC has ruined this game until star tier comes out. I'm not complaining. Got a lot of great cards. But everybody has them at the top. Unless there is another RTTC I fully expect this RC to be the lowest played ever

I believe Danan dropped a hint for RC earlier this week so I think there is an event this week...unless his cluse of "winter is coming" was referring to something else lol

Re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

Saw guys in the FB group posting pics of them winning season games with common players. One situation the guy was up by 6 going into the last quarter. In the last quarter, he had two 2v2 matches. His Throwback Rubio and Leg Pro Dominique vs. the other guys Epic Pro Derozan and leg pro AD. The 2nd 2v2 matchup was his uncommon Vince Carter and common Sergey Karasev vs the other guy's Leg Pro CP and UR Pro Rick Fox. Other guy ended up winning the quarter by 5 points but losing the match by 1.

CD got rid of benches so that players could stop gaming the system by putting in commons and uncommons to get easier seasons and its still happening.

CD basically tried to put a bandage over an open wound when they did that.

This all stems from the fact that season scoring is implemented stupidly with margin of victory per quarter being 4, 5 or 6 points. Seasons as a whole need to get reworked. From the matchmaking right down to the scoring.

It's asinine that someone could possibly get the same margin of victory if they had leg pros beating common/uncommon cards as if they had leg pros beating other leg pros.

That's the same as real life though. Who said that combining KG, Allen and Truth was fair? Or LbJ+Flash+Bosh? I'm pretty sure guys like Scal or Jones would be "commons" in those cases. And those teams still won.

Or you can remember Howard+Nash+Kobe+Pau or Glove+Mailman+Kobe+Shaq. Those teams lost. It all depends on matchups in seasons - or injuries in real life.

One thing the game certainly is is realistic.

NBA is undoubtedly a game of stars and that's what you need in its virtual version - not a solid team among solid teams, but a team that has an edge - someone better than anything an opponent possesses.

Every opponent you get in a qg or a season should be considered a part of your fantasy NBA-universe. They have the same deck power - or, if we make an analogy to real league, the same salary cap as you (So, use better players and you are in another league basically, because you have to pay them more). You need an edge - a couple event cards. Although, If all your roster is top tier pros than you don't have an edge as there are no better cards to become superstars in your league (that consists of you and people with the same deck strength).

So, we came to the real problem. We need special subtiers - which would consist of limited amount of cards, which would be much better than others and would be less easy to get than existing MVPs, Event or RS cards.
That could be achieved by, for example, giving top-100 much better cards than top-1000, not specialization-wise, but much better in stats.

P.S. I understand that seasons are not ideal in their today form, but there isn't much ways to improve them. If you start counting points differentials, than people would start asking why one card was chosen instead of another and so on.

Not quite sure where you were heading with your post. The first part of it doesn't seem to relate to anything I mentioned. I'm not buying the "there isn't much way to improve them" argument for seasons. That seems to be an easy to let CD off the hook. There's no way that someone could tell me that assigning the "winning team" of a quarter 4, 5 or 6 points is an efficient (or smart) way to do scoring. It just seems lazy to me.

In regards to your other statement, people already complain about why one card was chosen instead of the other so I don't see how point differentials would change that. In fact, I think using point differentials would have more guys using their top 15 players for seasons. I'd argue that the point differentials could be applied for QG too but I'm perfectly fine with. Also, in that situation, you could just chalk that up to the randomness of how players are selected. That would be a bitter pill for players to swallow but I think they would accept it. To me, there's nothing worse than seeing a "how did I lose this quarter" comment on here with a screenshot to accompany it and we all can't explain why they lost the quarter either.
