Re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion
But the thing is I DONT WANT THE BEST CARDS IN THE GAME!!!
I, like so many other people in this game just want my favorite players, all i want is a Penny Hardaway and a Dwyane wade. I dont care if every other card in my deck is Jason Collins. But the chances of me getting those two cards, whether I spend money or grind for years is probably about 1 in a million for both.Comment

Re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion
Sorry, this is the internet. You claim that you've spent $0 and you have drafted Robertson and Smits. What about Dr. J.? Also drafted? Within 35k picks?Comment

The inherent design of card games like this is that you'll NEVER complete all the cards. Especially not when you need duplicates of cards in a random draw system with an expanding card pool. So you can't call that the endgame, because no one will ever reach it. Players like Adil, Aristocrat and Twist who've spent $1000s on the game need motivation to keep playing. But they're proof that what you say isn't true - they spent a lot, and the have the largest trucks in the game.
"Worthless" is relative. I'd love to pull Smits off the draft board, since 2/3s of my Seasons deck is still rare pros.
It's a core design of F2P games that spending $ gets you faster advancement. It's especially true in this game, just because $25 gets you a guaranteed epic and a % chance at a legendary, which are both very low drop rates (ultra low in case of legendaries) off the draft board.
So you want to be a truck? These are the ways:
1. Spend enough money on epic packs and you'll start getting dupe epics, and epic pros are stronger than single legendaries. Buying $25 epic packs until you start getting dupes is the easiest and fastest way there. Every other option pales in comparison. Spend even more and you'll start getting dupe legendaries, to create the most powerful cards in the game outside of (most) pro RCs of which Twist owns all three that exist, so those aren't worth discussing - and we need to note that pro RC Timmy and Ewing don't crack his QG lineup. (Of course some legendaries like Mully and Yao... ok let's forget those exist.)
2. The next fastest way is to get the highest tiers in RCs, which to some degree is made easiest by Hot Streaking which again means spending $. You can avoid spending by grinding hours each day of RC. Time (and patience) or money, whichever you have, will help you. If you don't have either or both, tough luck.
3. Outside of that, you're stuck with luck off the RC or QG draft board. You're most likely not winning any seasons once you're at the rare pro plateau, because the guys who did 1 and 2 above will be trucks, and it looks like there will be a couple of those in every season, at least until the Seasons Revamp that NWGD says is coming (and we have no idea how that's gonna go).
If you play F2P games (app or otherwise) you should be used to this. Spending accelerates advancement. It's be design that if a player gets frustrated by the slow advancement at the rare pro plateau, he either grinds RC or starts spending. If he can't do either, there's a chance he quits the game. If the player wasn't spending in the first place, then it's an acceptable loss.
From what NWGD said, the app is getting more and more players - the last NYK vs IND clash had the most players to date (hence the server issues). Losing players that don't spend is just a statistic, and when you're dealing with player numbers in the hundreds of thousands? NBA2K14 has shipped 5 million copies to retailers (http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/02/...s-to-retailers). Let's say that half of those were bought, and 10% of those buyers are playing the mobile app (and knowing how free VC attracts 2k14 players, that may be conservative). That's an estimated 250,000 players hammering CatDaddy's servers during RC.
As always, we on the forums are the vocal (1%?) minority. Everyone else just plays, and in some cases, pays. Is it fair? It's not meant to be fair. And I'm sure that everyone prefers to have the ability to grind infinitely vs having a "player energy" constraint (you can only play 100 QGs a day, pay $1.99 to buy 200 more QG plays today).
So yeah. Forum complaining is a time-honored internet tradition, but so far the game seems to be working as intended. Again, I'm interested to see how CD revamps Season Mode, but I'm not expecting a massive improvement in the rewards or matchmaking overall.
See you all at the PHX vs DAL RC. I'm not choosing a side yet - it'll depend on what Epic Pro will be on each side. Last three have been 2 PFs (Tim, Worm) and 1 C (Reed). Hoping for a guard of some kind.
