Re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

I felt the same way last year when PO tier came out and CD started flooding the game with easy Rttc PO cards.

Those cards, except for the Warrior champion RTTC, where much weaker than the Star All-Star foul cards, which are a tier above what the normal person can acquire, either from the draft board or the AH. Hardly the same.

I know it's not the same event, but CD has a habit of destroying the value of a previous tier when a new one is released. This error does accelerate the inevitable demise of the 1st 2 sub tiers of star tier. But it would have happened in a few months anyway.

So how is the normal user supposed to advance their deck in preparation for the next tier now? Seasons are a bust. They cannot make RP on the AH as that has been destroyed? You are even seeing the effects in RC with the All All-Star lineups. This will affect different people in different ways, some good and some bad, but as I said, the damage has cast a VERY wide net. It has more than touched on multiple key facets of this application, and the experiences of each and every user. It should not simply be swept under the carpet.

I believe cd just wants to do some good deed in the light of holiday spirit

Let us wait for another crazy sale with record setter pack

If that were even somewhat true, why not let everyone know? This has such a huge negative ripple effect on the game.

Re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

no way it was planned by cd to give away as packs with 100% discount for nearly a hour!

and why this "event" should come again? after that 99% of players have full rttc as pro lu

if they dont fix it ill only play qg for goals to earn rp and prepare for po tier...

5 months of progress destroyed in 1 hour...

Re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

I suspect lot of the users trying to justify sweeping the glitch under the rug have themselves benefited from the glitch. It is obvious why CD needs to rectify the situation. The question is not "should they", it is "can they" as in what sort of programming capacity have they built in to the system to correct this type of problem.

The problem is not simply rendering the Star tier obsolete too soon. The quality of your Star tier has direct effect on your ability to compete at PO tier. It also prevents legit users from building their deck through the seasons as the seasons will now be flooded with glitch users. Everyone experienced first hand the problem with RC as well.

The consequences are not just from a game designing standpoint. Users have threatened on twitter and message boards that they will leave the game. Paying users either have no desire to pay real money for cards others got for free or they got the cards via glitch so that they no longer need to pay. The real scorned users have threatened to apply for refund from Google and Apple for money spent in game. Even if the glitch doesn't justify a massive refund to those left out, users have always been able to rely on the fact that card packs with drop rate are equivalent to gambling, which is against Google and Apple's TOS for very real and legal reasons. The only recourse the game developer have in those gambling challenges are to ban the user account, but if you are leaving the game anyway, what does that matter?

The handling of the glitch has been quite simply a fiasco. Nearly a full day with flood of complaint on twitter and message boards and not a single response from the developer. When you design the game to have its most significant moments over the weekend, it is incomprehensible to not have a weekend staff to ensure smooth operation (of course, if they have a weekend team and no response, then that would be even more shocking). The best solution would have been an immediate shut down for maintenance. Longer the wait, worse the complication.

There are several options going forward
- Do nothing and no response (this would literally be the worst option from both a gaming standpoint and public relations. Remember, they need to hook these gamers back for next year too)
- Do nothing and some response (not much better)
- Reset (Targeted reset is obviously best. Massive reset creates its own set of problems. EA's approach to the two madden glitches were criticized but would still be better than do nothing)
- Better match making (They could flag all the beneficiaries of the glitch and change match making so that the glitch users get matched up with each other for all facets of the game from here on out. This may be of slight benefit to the glitch users as glitch users may have a better likelihood of avoiding human users in season, but at least this doesn't punish the legit users. Such matchmaking would have to continue in higher tiers because lower tier results have direct impact on higher tiers)

But most of all, CD has to acknowledge that something went wrong and they have to let the user base know that they are looking at options. Staying silent is laughably incompetent public relations in this day and age. I saw that reddit forum deleted all posts regarding the glitch. People still know. You can't sweep this under the rug CD.

I like everything you've said except I have to debate you on one. The matching people who benefited from the glitch, I opened the packs in fear of what would happen if I hadn't. And how do you distinguish between those who benefited for 5 min (Me) and others that benefited for the full hour. 5 or 6 AS stars Vs 50-60+ AS stars, that's a huge difference. I have yet to actually do anything with them though, not using in seasons or quick games. I shouldn't be punished for opening the packs.

Just in case it isn't clear, I am totally against all that has happened and want a rollback asap. This was a game breaking glitch.

I'm with you on your point. If they go the match making route, it would be better to set a cutoff point like EA did with the Madden glitch rather than lumping those who opened a few packs with those who opened packs for an hour. It's not perfect but that would be better than doing nothing. If they can do a targeted rollback, that would be best, but I'm not sure they have the capability to do that. Silence is deafening though.

There was another sale about 12 hours ago but I think it worked properly. I set my alarm for an hour before it ended but they were no longer free like the first time. I however did not monitor it until the end, so can't confirm it did not happen again towards the end.

Re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

i think the reality is, the glitch ruins season for a lot of users who didn't take advantage of the glitch because now they could be paired with users who have all AS Star lineups....as for the matchmaking...maybe they could implement a kind of tier season where anyone with say 4 AS pro's or more are bunch together with others whereas those with 4 AS or less are bunched with users who didn't have the glitch

either way if someone has say 6 AS stars from the glitch want to play a lower tier, they can't put in more than 4 thus somewhat evening the playing field for others who may have 1 or 2 from rewards and the rest regular star cards

Re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

I'm probably going to get a lot of hate for this, but I think people are overreacting about this glitch. All this game is is a mobile phone game that we enjoy playing. No one is forcing us to spend money on this game. If you've spent thousands of dollars on packs in this game, that was your decision. No one forced you to grind hours and hours on RC and RTTC for a virtual card that will be worthless a few months from now. In a few months, playoff tier will be out and a few months after that, MyNBA 2k17 will be out. My point is, people are way overreacting about this glitch and are taking this game too seriously.

I had 4 AS pro before the glitch. Many people won seasons and bought packs before the glitch.
