Re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

The problem is the matchmaking. If they address that, no matter how many people have better cards then me, i'll always have a chance in seasons, quick games, and RC's. Even if my Epics are considered rares and my legs considered epics because of the new tier of cards, I will still have a chance to improve. No matter how many new tiers they come out with, I will just have something new to push for. If I end up eventually with playoff cards and leg pros, I'll have to push harder for rival cards and so on. Same for vets. You have rival cards, now you have rival pros to push for. It's a free to play game and as long as I have something to push for, I have a reason to keep playing. Sorry if I'm not explaining myself how I would lik.

Freaking Rob you make some sense and good points sometimes!!! But, consider this. My only real gripe and concern is that NWGD has flip flopped his stance on season matchmaking before. He has said it was broken at one point and admitted it needs improvement then came and said it works fine because top players were placed in a season together disregarding about half the season players who got trucked on by Twista and his buddies. I was in a season with NWGD and im was at 2800 all around stats while hes in the 4000+ category. Also let's do a quick recap how long ago was matchmaking supposed to be fixed again? Seems like CD is content on never addressing matchmaking and just saying seasons now have better rewards lower tier players can still upgrade it's all good just leave seasons the same until the game dies down what's stopping them?

CD employee, please log out.

Bro, people on here are showing me mutual respect, If your just gonna be dumb with your post I'm not gonna reply. I support the game because I like the game. I have no reason to bash the game so why should I not say how I feel. I understand it me against the world on here. I'm just giving my perspective on the game.

Well I'm glad I hadn't spent any money on this game. Hundreds of dollars. I was saving for an Iverson RC card. But why then they'll release another Iverson card to trump that? New cards are cool but I feel like all my hard work on the past 5 RC's just went down the ****ter. Faster then Lenny cookes career!

I posted on how the season algorithm works already (reverse engineering as a computer engineer/software developer/programmer... i work as a programmer). There are methods of fixing it but none of which i believe CD will employ because they will:
a) Match high spenders together and thus extremely long wait time for them (less of them = higher queue time)
b) High spenders will suddenly not win as often and not be happy (you don't piss off paying customer... at least that's the logic but this patch seems to have done that anyways)

Realistically the formula now is to feed the free players to the wolves (big spenders who happens to be most of the trucks too). Once you pass 2k, it seems to be open season (i.e. everyone falls into the same queue). The number can be increased and likely will in the future but once you pass that number, you'll still be feed to the trucks. Also the numbers would never be "close" because like i said, CD doesn't want the high end teams to need to queue for days so they can be matched up with each other.

He was @ the fan site yesterday...

Oh and FYI in case anyone think i'm not debating the patch was bad... i won't be on the forum much the next few days due to RC (like always). See you all on Sunday.

I do feel they have been trying to fix the matchmaking. Why they haven't yet is beyond me. Maybe they haven't figured out how to yet. Fixed matchmaking makes the game more fun. I'm sure people quit playing because they haven't been able to win a season. If they fix it I'm sure more people continue to play because the game is fair. Maybe they aren't gonna fix it. It seems to me it would help them because the game will draw for all players despite the strenth of their deck.

Re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

Here is what absolutely blows my mind. I have been extremely dedicated to this game. I even pulled some strings and asked some important people on OS to help this game be known here. I even introduced Cat Daddy to this epic website. I got Danan to start posting here and even pushed them to add an in game message about these forums. I was able to get us our own sub-forum here. I battled with the best in the game and finally after a long hard battle and money spent I was able to have the best deck. My record is 67k with 925 losses so I have definitely put in my time, not just money to be the best. Many of the veteran players were getting banned from this site because of their own bad choices. We then decided to create Cat Daddy a fan page which was solely for the game. Danan never once said good job or acknowledged our existence. 2K sports has our back and thought it was a great idea. So now the fan page is up and running along side OS. Now this new update is released and now all the players who had decent decks, instantly over power my deck which took me forever to obtain in only a few hours. I am all about competition and making the game more enjoyable but you simply can't punish everyone who has played in the past rivals and won the rivals cards simply because you release V2 Rivals that maxes out at level 35 without being pro'ed. All I ask in return for everything we as a community did for this game is to adjust the past 6 rivals cards to level 35 and pro at 40. I absolutely loved this game and my passion was obvious. Keep in mind that Cat Daddy doesn't even have their own forums in their website. We as a community made this game what it is and if they push too hard we can end it just as easy. Peace out brothers!

Twista I understand the passion around the game and your anger. However, lets not rewrite history or lose all objectivity. OS Sports has a long history of supporting 2K games, so when this thread started here I joined it. You absolutely helped get the sub-forum created and have been a great supporter of the product all along, which I appreciate. I have even told you that your site was great and it was nice that you guys started a fan site. Not sure what more you want in terms of recognition. I don't post over there because I simply do not have time to spread across multiple sites, something I explained a couple of times.


As for this update, we did not set out to "screw the vets". Quite the opposite, we provided a whole new tier of rewards to make the game engaging for players new and old. You personally have complained to me multiple times that there was no way to improve your deck. Now there is through Playoffs cards and the new RC cards. Many players with lesser decks than yours complained of poor drop rates, desire for Epic+ cards, cheaper Epic Packs, etc. All the things we did with this update.


The old Rivals Cards that seems to be the focus of much ire, were not changed in anyway with this update. They remain valuable good cards. They are still better than Legendary cards but below Legendary Pro cards. Adding a tier above Legendary doesn't change that fact. Yes, there are cards better than them now, but that is to be expected if the game was going to continue to grow. There has to be new better cards available to keep it interesting for people that hit the ceiling. If you objectively look at the stats of the old RC cards they will actually beat several Playoffs cards. The MJ Pro card in particular is near the top of the heap vs. Pro Playoffs cards. I would have to check the spreadsheet again, but only a few cards beat him. Take a look at the numbers. RC cards did not suddenly become "garbage".


As I have explained previously, the new Rivals Cards are based on being better than most Playoffs cards, but worse than Playoffs Pro cards. That means their stats are higher than old RC cards, but to be expected since RC rewards have always been top rewards. They will show up in the Playoffs card filter in the Collection vs. the old cards show in the Legendary filter. If we had made the new RC cards similar to old cards in stats, then we would get players complaining that they were not strong enough. To be top rewards we had to give them a boost.


Ultimately, if you had a good deck before you still have a good deck, just maybe not the "best" deck any more. Yes, other players can "buy their way to the top" through the new cards, but that isn't any different than before. Some players will decide to do just that and buy cards. Other players will opt to use their time instead of play lots of Quick Games or compete in Rivals Clash events to build their deck. Other players will rely on Season Games and the new rewards there to build their deck. This is all a good thing imho. Everyone has a means to improve their deck and have new things to shoot for. We have free and pay ways to get there just like before. It all depends on how you want to engage with the game.

Re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

So I have seen and read all the arguments on both sides and have come to the conclusion that while there are good things about this update, (drop rate increase, deck size increase, Legend packs, better rewards for seasons) there are some things that shocked me Me and seem like a bad move.

1. They should NOT have made this "Playoff" tier. Sure it's cool but dumb that crap players are now the best in the game. If anything they should have made a MVP tier based on each Players MVP season(s) so LeBron would have 3 new cards, Malone could have a card better than MJ Rivals but MJ would have 3-4 New cards, one for each MVP season. These cards would be awarded in Rivals for the Top 10 or something.

2. I assumed the Legends pack would be $39.99 or $34.99 or something with epics staying $20. Lowering the price makes sense with new tier but in my alternate reality the new tier would be less of a tier and more of a 2nd Rivals card set.

3. The matchmaking needs to be fixed. It is the biggest complaint across the board and it is a joke that with so many people playing I can't get paired with other people in the 3000 range of stats and a couple 4000 level guys get in to kick us around.

4. The drop rate increase is a good idea. I get sick of playing 7k games between cards that are useless without a Dupe anyways.

5. Old card rating should have been re-evaluated. Stockton should have been legendary anyways, the guy is in the HOF with all time steals and assists records, making him epic with the likes of Rajon Rondo and Kevin Martin is insulting especially when Chris Mullin is a legend, a god awful one, but still. Ratings should be adjusted across the board. Stats should better match their actual ability.

That is all I can think of now and typing on my phone is exhausting

Re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

Of course it will be. Allstars vs Hall of Famers or some other bs.

NAW YOU SKIPPING TOO MANY TIERS, THEY ARE GOING TO MAKE A FINALS TIER, THAN MVP TIER LOL

Well said. Pretty much what I've been arguing the last couple days. NW did good and everyone (including the vets) will realize that eventually.

My only gripes at this point is

1) the matchmaking is still skewed and would like to see an effort to fix this.

2 ) my deck on my android still shows 100 player cap. And I'm afraid I might not getting the increased drop rates.

If these are adressed, you would not have any complaints from me.

Why can't all rivals cards be better than playoff cards and worse than playoff pros? The fact that you guys listened and change Rival cards stats is a great thing something a lot of us have been asking for a long time since there is only one player who can pro it. Why does it have to be two or more volumes of rival cards? We are asking for an update to 6 cards man everything else on the update is fine.
