Re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

First Rivals could be seen as a test though. They were figuring out the best way to do things, and they learned.

This stuff? They knew Playoff KD was coming out, before KD Rivals happened. They knew we were all grinding/spending under false pretenses.

There's definitely a difference.

Sure it's different but I mostly expected something along the line. When they killed magic Johnson's 311 energy and the hot streak lebron epic they basically said they weren't interested in interesting cards and ways to balance them. So the only way they had to go was power creep numbers upward. I mostly expected something like this so I guess I don't feel particularly shocked/conned etc.

Either they were going to stagnate on the same legend rival cycle or they were going to break it sometime along the way.

Re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

I chose poorly going for a rivals just to say i had one 2 weeks ago... now it is the equivalent of what a legendarily use to be, and legendaries are now what epics use to be only they are more competitive single than epics are.

On the bright side, i should be able to pull a legendary pro with 1/10 of the effort i put in last time. Maybe rival cards will be easier to get than having to put up 15k points.

I think there is a certain lack of appreciation for the amount of effort it takes in rivals, and if NW's qg record is what i remember it is, most of the guys in the top 50 play more games in 6 days than he has in 6 months. So maybe that is why, just an observation.

Re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

Yeah. I never played a game like this before, so I didn't see this coming.

Even still, I really don't get how they feel like this Rivals v1 and Rivals v2 nonsense is supposed to fly.

Devaluing Legends is one thing. Rivals cards took WORK to get. Devaluing KD Rivals, 7 days after people worked harder for that one card, than anything else so far in the game's life, is just wrong. I don't see how they expect people to continue to play and spend at the same rate, when they feel like they can be getting bamboozled at any point.

But then again, people are already breaking the bank on these new packs, so what do I know?

Re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

Seriously the Rivals V1 and V2 is such a bull**** that i will not stop annoying CD until they fix it. Other than that, the new cards are ok in my book.Twista still has the best lineup.

Re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

I think if playoff cards are going to exist they need to be changes.

First. All RC cards should get updated to the new RC card level and all be better than playoff cards and on the same tier as playoff pros. This will not only make the vets of the game still competitive and the game more balanced and still make CD money cause RC cards would be worth the grind. Seriously why grind for v2 when V3 are a month or so away

His mmo rpg analogy sort of applies. Basically new stuff comes and replaces old stuff and the grinding wheel keeps spinning to keep people playing. There are some key differences though which understandably make those easier to take and were handled pretty awfully here.

1, in mmo changes and outdating gear (in this case cards) are sort of expected. There was basically no announcements or even hints of this from CD so that's pretty awful. Expansions in mmos come with months or years of anticipation, advertising new features and loot, etc. It both preps the user base for what is to come and when. That and mmo players are expecting it to come.

2, mmos come with some expectations that the game will be around. We haven't gotten any word on that so it's hard to have much confidence. There are people who like collecting things, even old outdated gear. Even better if there is still something cool or unique about the old gear even if it is outdated.

Re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

I've never played a MMO either. Mostly because the entire concept of grinding ad nauseum, towards no real end goal seems really stupid to me.

And then I started playing this game.

I guess if somebody made an NBA MMO, I'd have gotten sucked into that too.

That lebron epic hot streak getting taken away still pains me til this day. And they had the nerve to keep super rodman

Oh but we did get a word - see that lovely exchange -
