Re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

Again, that's not true after a month or so of having the game.. and even in that first month, it isn't entirely true.



After you have a lineup of Rare Pro cards, play all you want... You're not improving your deck. It takes an insane amount of luck to improve at that point.



Even before you reach that point, it isn't entirely true that you'll be better than me if you play more.



If you play 1000 games, and I play 500, you have a better chance at having a better team... But what if you draft 4 different Rare guards in that time, and I draft 2 Doc Rivers? Well I'm better. You improve your chances by playing more, but we've all seen players' luck fluctuate wildly.



Rivals mode is the closest thing we have to "competition" in this game, and even that.... it's a huge stretch to call that mode competitive. You're competing against Carpal Tunnel, your social life and your sanity, more than you're competing in the game.

True and myself and EyeGotSoul proved that. Look how many games the both of us have played and the only reason my LU is better is simply because I started spending money on cards. When you have played 50k plus games and you have not spent money then you should have a very competitive deck. But unfortunately that is not the case.

Re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

just drop the draft picks, it is silly to give a reward of what takes most people 20-30 seconds to achieve as a reward for 4 days of swapping players and dropping energy cards on them.

That's true but it does give you the chance to snag one more super card. So that's why I'd leave it.

Pretty much the only reason I have the LU I have is because I've spent money. I don't mind that they give people the option to buy cards. Its no different to me than going to the card shop and buying packs to complete a set or just buy the complete set on ebay.

Re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

7 hours and mine finally started, hopefully its competitive or i'm the tank for a change haha, looks like they start every hour and dump out high and or low players, it kept going from waiting on 1 play back to 23.

ahhh you're fabio, we are in the same season

Nice what is your name? And I can see your LU?

Seven hours? Good Lord that's nonsense. I'd be more ticked that I waited 7 hours to get into a season with people I know I can't beat than say 30 mins to an hour to see the same thing.

Re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

Yeah 7 hours is too extreme. With this new update, after I finish any season from here on, I'm going to start before I go asleep.

Re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

Heres the problem with all of this: this isn't a competitive game.

I know you all seem to think it is, but it isn't. So now we all wait hours to start a season. At the end of the day, while the margins might be closer, there's still only one player that has the best team, and if you aren't that person, there still isn't much you can do about it.

So let's say you average 2500 across the board on stats. In the previous setup, you wait half an hour, start a season, and by Game 4, you see that guy with 3300 across the board. OK. You lose. Not much can be done.

So now, you wait 5 hours to start a season, and by Game 4, you see the guy with 2700 across the board. Now what? Spam Quick Games for the next 3 days hoping you improve your roster (you won't)? Buy Epic Packs (with 30% chance of scoring a legend, and newly lessened chances of landing an Epic Pro! Yay!)? Or the tried and true "strategy" in this "competitive" game: cross your fingers and hope.

That's really all there is here. If you go into the playoffs against a guy with 100 more than you across the board, what's your strategy as a "competitor"? Pray? Search the nearest field for a 4-leaf clover? For this game to improve competitively, improving matchmaking doesn't do much. We would need to have actual information on our opponents, actual information on how season games work, and actual options to be able to affect them.

This update only provides the illusion of hope. At the cost of hours of life spent waiting for seasons to start, just to have the wool pulled over your eyes, with this supposed increase in competition.

The only strategy in seasons is: Do I have the best team? Yes: win, no: tank.

That won't change with "improved matchmaking".

Some of what you say is true. Most of it. The improved matchmaking if it does it's job should do one thing. It gives people who are in the mid to low level the chance to actually be that top deck. Previously where it was almost entirely based on time someone who had 1800 all stats essentially would never have a chance to be the best deck or close. I don't know if the season matchmaking has done enough to make that possibility happen but if it does then that is a good thing.

That might be the thing to do. That way if it takes several hours to match up it won't start until you get up from bed.

It is the time it takes to find similar people. That is the reason people with much higher stats were thrown into weaker seasons. This is what most of us asked for.

I don't mind it all, I actually love it. It is just going to feel different for people (like me) who knew 99% of the time that they were going to win season after season. Now I have to give energy to my players during playoffs lol.

I will also add that I expect the matchmaking to do much better in the mid and low range than in the "higher" range. In other words finding a bunch of 1600-1800 average or 2000-2200 average isn't hard. You might suffer some bad losses in the 3000-4500 range. No data on that yet but that's what I would theorize. If you have played any matchmaking games before this is just how it goes. The top end is going to take much longer to find matches for. See league of legends, starcraft 2 or any number of other games.

Re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

You must be new Brandon.

100 point advantages in every category DOES NOT guarantee victory. Support cards, player skills and the order of the stats pulled can make a big difference.

If I have 3500 in every category, and my opponent has 3300. But my 3500 on offense is one 600 Legend Pro, and 9 300+ guys, while my opponent is rocking 8 400 guys on offense and 2 rare PGs, plus Legendary +25 offense team support.

If I see too many Offense matchups picked... I can easily lose 3 quarters in that matchup. Consistently.

I posted a pic below as proof. Every long time player has seen this themselves too.

If every season comprised teams within 100 points pf each other... We'd throw a fricking celebration lol.

I won my last season. My team is 3400+ in every stat. The second place team had 2700 in one stat and 2100 in the rest. I don't think you're recognizing how broken season matchmaking truly was. Oftentimes, 28 people had zero chance by the third game. Even having 7 people have a chance is a significant improvement.

Thing is though taking 7 hours is nonsense. It shouldn't take more than an hour to find enough people to make a season.

Re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

With the new match making and the agreement the season rewards need to improve I was just jotting this down as an idea.

Finals Win
1x Epic Pack
1x Random Epic
1x Team Pack
2x DP

2nd Place
1x Epic
2x Team Pack
2x DP

3rd Rd
2x Team Pack
1x Player Pack
2x DP

2nd Rd
2x Player Pack
1x Team Pack
2x DP

1st Round
2x Rares
2x DP

Instead of the random epic, I think they should show the player a list/images of 10 random epics in which the player would be allowed to pick whichever one they wanted. Like many people have stated, with the recent edition of new epics, it's gonna be even more difficult to make epic pros. This should help increase the odds of getting one.
