Re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

The 500k was mentioned in regards to pro'd Star cards not singles. As for skybox how many of us have said something here on the forum as to how dumb it was spending 1 million RP on some of these skybox especially lately when we knew star tier was coming? Yet there were plenty of ppl willing to bid on those cards. If you really think those ppl will just disappear once star tier is live you are probably sadly mistaken. As for star being beaten by 6 types of theme cards...looks to me like star base is the highest (at least for a couple of weeks until they release some other pack only card)

Danan wrote that wrong. The Star base cards are the worst out of that group that he mentioned in his tweet

IGN: CMart
MVP: RC Legendary Michael Jordan
QG Tier: Legendary++
Team: Operation Sports

Re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

There 2 types of people with a lot of RP. Some will spend real money to buy Star packs. Others will buy Star cards with RP to try and get ahead quickly, especially for the RTTC.

Sorry it may be the alcohol but did you think about that before posting? You are trying to tell me that Star base are worse than TBT or RS cards? Think about that for a minute...I have a couple of RS pros and they don't even come close to the 2k stats of KG which is supposed to be close to star tier base. Same goes for Rookie stars & TBT. Not to mention it'd be bad business to introduce a new tier that is the 6th best type of card out. If that truly were the case why would anyone go to star tier when they can rake in RS cards in leg tier seasons?

HOF, AS, and RS will be available on STAR release. TBT will be available probably Thursday as well. Rookie will probably be Monday and someone will have the event card by end of day Friday or early Saturday. Don't think we'll have to wait too long.

And they won't disappear. A few definitely will bite. I never said they wouldn't. Just not as many. The smart ones will look for value initially just to get through this RTTC, then spend the RP on HS next RC, bidding on the next 4 spec RC loser in skybox, and of course on extra packs since WCs are a necessity to stay at the top.

And then there are some that believe CD screwed up this tier before it was even released and are putting it on cruise control until PO tier comes. Saving all rp and WCs until then.

There is one more. Those that will save it for something better, i.e next tier.

If I understood Danan correctly, they are adding Star caliber cards to RS, TBT, and Rookie packs to go along with the legs, epics, etc.

You'll be waiting until April then lol.

What Danan posted was the rankings for ALL Star tier cards with the base cards being the lowest. So there are new RS, Rookie and TBT star tier cards to go along with new themes All Star and Hall of Fame. Yes, it's interesting to release all sub-tiers at launch of star tier, which was opposite of legendary where new sub-tier was released every few weeks.

Maybe this will help logjam in seasons (with possible update to season matchmaking algorithm?), while allowing users to strategize what to do based on their squad, resources, and the market. The value of WCs have never been higher since users will really need to pick and choose which cards to pro and even consider buying contracts packs. Outside of usual event cards, decks should be more diverse now.

Then there's the other future update (possibly before Playoff tier update) that he mentioned that may make sense of all of this...

Sorry if my tweet wasn't clear, I thought it was obvious I was listing them in ascending order and just for the Star tier. We are indeed adding Star tier cards to Record Setters, TBT, and Rookie packs. The only theme not getting the Star treatment is MVP since we used all the MVPs in the Legendary tier (there are just only so many players that won the MVP award). All other themes get the Star treatment.


The new themes, Hall of Fame and All-Star, come in UR-S varieties. They are equivalent in power with each other. By doing two themes it allowed us to have older players and younger players at the same power level basically. Since you can't be in the Hall of Fame until you're out of the NBA for 10 years, if we did HoF just alone then it would've skewed the pack and some players are not happy getting historic players. This way you get a choice.

Re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

Well my apologies to those that tried correcting me. I read that tweet as star was the top and then the rest of the tiers after that since that seemed to make sense to me. Obviously I don't have CD logic as I didn't figure CD would release a new tier and at the same time release a bunch of cards that you have to pay for that are better than the tier they are releasing.

Well that logic is well established by now, isn't it?

Re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

I think Ima start grinding for po tier. Just sell everything and pro nothing for the next couple months.

For those who think base tier will still be valuable, think of the difference between base legends and record setters.

Also winning a season only gives a 1/3 chance of awarding you the top tier card. 6,000 rp is hardly extra incentive.

Danan keeps stressing how hard this new rttc will be. I imagine the point totals have been increased along with the final card/s requiring half a dozen star pros to +7. His definition of hard probably just means you gotta +2 the last 1,000 points buying game nights.

The hype ain't real

Re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

I have to back CD at some level since they're using a modified version of my (I'm sure other users and internal developers had similar ideas) season rewards suggestion that I posted a while ago. Change is constant, and a hard fact of life is that you can't make everyone happy. (Not everyone is supposed to get every card, win every season, finish every RttC, get Top 25 in RC, etc.)

Personally, unless the season matchmaking algorithm has been drastically altered, I've given up hope that my best 15 will ever win seasons moving forward. I won't be able to keep up with the whales who'll be able to buy credit packs in droves and pro them while adding new Star enhancements. I've only had luck making and winning finals when I play around with my third line players with untrained and/or lower tier cards (which I'm sure the tanks/whales do as well to feed on helpless freebie players). Since I am a collector, I don't mind the Legendary MVP & HoF rewards in first few rounds.

As for the Star freebie and board pulls, I'll have to gauge the AH market to see if I use them in seasons and events before selling and/or proing with WCs. A stat-charged regular Star single will be very similar to a regular Leg pro, so it won't help much in my season and RttC line-up. Many users will have same dilemma and this may keep Star cards at decent selling prices longer. And who know, maybe legendary prices will go back up so people can get into Star QG/seasons and compete in new Star RttC.

All-in-all, I'm excited to see how everything shakes out. CD at some level took everyone's input -- tired of regular unauctionable legs in 2nd/3rd round rewards, tired of bland rewards after grueling seasons, everyone has the same top 15 that are event/theme cards, why are cards now useless when new sub-tier is released, and so on -- and applied fixes at some level. This app is basically an on-going experiment that is only in it's third year... if these new elements don't work out, be ready to suggest fixes and expect even more changes!
