MyTeam Mobile Discussion

re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

This thread is getting ridiculously long (almost 400 pages yeesh!), but a couple hundred pages back I pointed out a couple of things that are worth reiterating now.


1. I strongly recommend you do NOT store picks. There is *absolutely zero* difference in the drop rate based on saving picks vs. picking right after a game. We limit the amount of cards in your collection for performance reasons, and as some of you have discovered storing huge amount of picks on certain hardware causes it to crash. We will be making it harder to store picks in the future because we do not want people melting their phones. Again, storing picks does not change the drop rate, so rest assured picking as you go still nets you the same card drops.


2. The Season Game matchmaking has to balance between matching people with similar deck ratings (yes, we check vs. your whole collection so attempting to game the matchmaker with lower cards and subbing in good ones later does not work) and starting Season games in a timely matter. We don't want people to wait too long before a Season starts. As the game has progressed and players are getting better decks as you already have seen we sometimes end up with Seasons that have some better players in them. Our next update has some changes to help make this matchmaking better. However, we are continuing to look at ways to make this even better with the next update. We agree that imbalanced Season games are frustrating, but we also don't want people waiting 3 days to start a Season to find the perfect match of people. In some ways this mirrors the real NBA league. Some teams are just simply better than others for that Season. As some of you have noted even the lower end rewards in a Season have a chance to make your team better though, so playing out a "bad" Season is still worthwhile.


I hope this helps answer some questions. Enjoy the game!

Thanks for the info! It's really appreciated and it clears some things up for most of us, I'm sure. I hate to turn this into a somewhat selfish direction, but I am just really puzzled about my situation and since no one here has played as many games as I have(to the best of my knowledge), I can't succumb to a fairly clear conclusion. As of this very moment, my Quick Game record is: WINS: 32,223 LOSS: 4580. I have still not pulled out a Legend from the draft picks. Can I simply attribute this to just being the god of bad luck? lol

lol yea Baby Zeke on the Kings. But I WISH I had THEE Isiah Thomas lol. We lost our first game by 2. I'm in a league with alot of epics and I don't have one. I think it has to do with how good your quick game record is?

re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

i wish tracy mcgrady (magic), vince carter (raptors), jermaine o'neal (pacers), marbury (suns), baron davis (hornets), shaq (miami & orlando), ray allen (sonics), garnett (wolves), etc. were introduced in update

This man said Marbury oh man i forgot about him im sure he wouldnt mind being in the game since his clothing line is dead. Reggie Miller def needs to be in this game.

re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

82 game season, you should at least get the equivalent of drafts from quick games from your record. So even if you don't win a single game you at least get 82 drafts form a season.

Some more answers...


1. The 282 BC on Magic is at level 0. He will go up accordingly as you level him. Probably well north of 450 I would guess.


2. EyeGotSoul - First off, holy cow! Thanks for playing so much. With that many games sadly you just have bad luck. We don't do anything like track personal drop rates and adjust rewards on the fly, so you're just hitting some bad luck sadly.


3. We do not match Seasons on Quick Game wins. It is based on Collection strength.

Reggie would be good. Surprised nobody has mentioned Barkley also.

re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

I know it won't happen yet, but I think it'd be really cool down the line if we could get fake box scores after every season game.

Anyways I agree with NW, it'd be really off-putting for a lot of new players if they had to wait 12 hours just to start a season. I doubt devs want to discourage the casual player or any new players from experiencing the game, and ultimately we all need an infusion of new players consistently to keep the game and community alive.

Plus as the users grow, there'll be more accurate matchmaking anyway since right now there's probably very few high scale players that end up getting matched with the rest. All of us posting on the forums is just a small percentage of all the players; changes that might benefit us may not benefit the rest of the people who also play.

In the new expansion for Diablo 3, they are implementing a system that won't allow this kind of bad luck to happen. I think this game needs a similar system, honestly. I know my luck has been only kind of bad compared to your luck. And my luck has been terrible compared to some other people around here.

The first season assuming you join shortly after cracking your starter pack is actually almost always the most winnable (for anyone) and the most balanced. It's season 2 onward where things suddenly get messy. I guess my question would be for a true casual player which is is a bigger issue, time taken to match people up being longer or the possibility of running into a few 2000+ average monsters and feeling like you have no shot? Also, I think you have it wrong on who would be waiting. It's the high level/rarity teams that should be waiting because they don't have opponents, not the low level casuals.

I don't see how the users are going to grow alot at this point. It will only really be the random people that buy the console game or the random people who just didn't realize or install the app.

re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

Just from this thread activity you can see how many new people are trying out and liking the app. It was far less active around 200 pages but new players try the game out all the time, just in this past month

League of legends for critical hit rate I think does something similar. Basically you have a "rate", let's say 10% so you would crit 1 of 10 attacks. For attack 1 your actual percent to crit is below 10% and goes up as you get closer to 10 shots (the average time you would crit). After that your chance to crit keeps rising until you actually crit, and then resets. Basically it tried to "smooth" out the probability curve without actually taking out the random aspect completely.

Thanks for your answer! To clarify on point 3: Is it your entire collection or just your top 15 cards?

Because if it was your entire collection it incentivizes using up or wasting cards that would never make it to your top 15 for season play to make sure you have a low deck. Meaning you should try and keep your collection at 15 players MAX (plus Epics and Legendary that you could possibly make pro later), and consuming all rares and below because it would boost you?

re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

going to give the 1000 draft picks a try... played 5 seasons and haven't one once... went to the finals twice to get swept... hopefully I draft something good to boost my season squad..

if you have no chance of winning the final just lose at 2nd round,otherwise you gonna waste lots of time for stupid rares
