Re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

Not being able to train cards once they are in a season is a good idea, that would even things out a lot

Yep. In my opinion, that would solve a lot of the matchmaking issues.

Re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

CD have hinted constantly not to try to "game matchups" with 3/2, indicating that they have some kind of code to search for the disparity between worst card and best card in a lineup.

Anecdotal, but when I run a 3/2 with 2 commons, I don't really think I draw more favourable lineups than when I run a 3/2 with 2 UR pros (this was when I was in leg tier).

In addition to not allowing training during a season, this sort of thing could be implemented in seasons.

Even a blanket approach like, if you're in Star tier and you have a common in your lineup, it is replaced with the value of an average star card for matchmaking purposes, could prevent the common strategy from working.

I haven't really thought these ideas through though, I'm sure there are issues.

Agreed with your last point. Their resolution to the Packening kind of illustrates what you're alluding to as we're seeing teams with 5 James Young common pros still showing up in Star++ tier.

I truly believe that CD could make some changes to improve seasons but they're lazy and I feel like seasons is just an afterthought to them as it isn't going to be their big money maker

Re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

I know we give CD plenty of criticisms about season matchmaking. But I do give them props for trying to improve season from last year.
They eliminated bench this year to combat 'common bench' method from last year.
They also put top rewards on finalists only (tier rewards at semifinalists) to avoid people tanking during quarterfinals.
Legendary season rewards stayed the same when star tier drops this year. That way it prevent people of dropping down season tier to just destroy and get easy star card for winning legendary season.

I think some of us here are just a small sample size of bad season matchmaking. I know people who tried putting common on their season deck and it didn't work. I saw some on my past seasons and I got that easy win.

The addition of teams allowed us to see members from all over the world. I've seen many so members with non foil AS/HOF/RS cards they won from season. Most of them have less than 7 star pros. If season have really bad matchmaking, then those people wouldn't reach the finals at all. While season matchmaking is still not perfect, but I can definitely say that it's better than last year.

Season scoring is another story. That is one major downgrade from last year. Basically win double matchups and you win the quarter. Don't even get me starting with those 1pt final score. Or the 'how did they win" case...That's something CD need to look into.

Re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

I've thought long and hard and honestly I haven't come up with a solid solution. What I do think is the following:

1) once you click join season, you shouldn't be able to train your players.

2) get rid of the fixed scoring where the margin of victory is either 4, 5 or 6. Feel like the range should be much bigger and that way guys that use Commons and other low cards would be penalized more. Right now I can have a quarter where 2 star pros beat 2 commons for a double matchup and then a star pro beats a common for a single matchup and only get a margin of victory of 6 points for that quarter. I feel like if something like that happens you should be penalized accordingly. Equivalent of being down 20 in a quarter in an NBA game or something. So yea a comeback could theoretically happen but more times than not, you're too far behind to win

Those are just a few ideas. I'm sure as a community we could brainstorm and come together with some ideas to improve seasons cuz they're pretty crappy right now and just a crap shoot.

I disagree with you. I believe this could be a VERY SOLID solution. If they just did these 2 things it would improve seasons dramatically. I guess the biggest counter-argument would be that this would basically make seasons a lottery. With no way to improve team in season, the best team to start would always win. But that's how it should be. Said team would still have put in the groundwork of energizing and charging. Great ideas bro

Re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

My new season lineup. 10 star pros. 3 of them untrained.. I'm debating about adding a common or 2 to the lineup but I'm still not convinced this actually works for match making..

Good luck mate!
2 weeks in a row ... nothing. So annoying, wish they would just give everyone a card instead of having some get 2+ and others getting nothing at all.
