How can this be enyoable? Dude has like 70 games and plays with Durant, Kemp, George and Maravich. It's not about that people who buy epics/legendaries still have to Train them, it's about getting the best players in the game without doing anything for it except paying.

If this is starting to roll I'm outta there, it's like playing against legal cheaters.

re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

So I've been keeping track of the drop rate of rare/epics recently.

Before the update: Cleared 112 boards. Got 11 rare and 1 epic (Kobe). 10.7% chance of a rare/epic.

After the update: Cleared 46 boards. Got 5 rare and 1 epic (Gortat). 13% chance to get a rare/epic.

I have not gotten any Legendary players so far.
Quick game stats: 6200-800.

re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

Honestly, I feel that trading needs to be implemented. In all major sports games, FIFA, 2K, MLB, there is some form of trading. Do you know what trading brings into a game? I sense of business, an element of commerce. It makes the game more 3 dimensional, giving it the extra quality of being able to interact and make profit from smart investments and honest research. Trading should be implemented so it gives the game an extra incentive to rares that are unused and also more strategy to how we use our picks and manage our cards.
Epic packs should be thrown out all together, I feel the old format of packs already gave enough of an advantage. I bought 4 Epic packs already and got a Legendary Ewing and 3 epics. No point in grinding quick games anymore. Trading would make us earn it, albeit differently from grinding quick games. And instead of just looking for the short term profit, 2K & Cat Daddy should consider the long term benefits of working with their player base and strive to a mutual goal. This would benefit both parties in the long haul, appeasing both developers and users alike.

Very good post. I agree

re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

- Epics/Legendary Discussion - This is a big topic and I could write pages about what sells or doesn't sell, what's fun or not, etc. I will say we want the game to have longevity, that it is a fun to play, and we can make money on it (all games need to make money to survive, simple business). At the same time, we have tried to make sure that anything we sell is achievable by the free player, it may just take the free player more time. When you play against someone in Quick Play it doesn't matter if they purchased the card or not, it still has the same stats, it still needs to be leveled up the same, their abilities still trigger at the same rates, etc. As someone else pointed out, even with our current level of content someone buying cards will still have a lot to strive for as will the free player punching out 20k Quick Games. Trust me it's a delicate balance in the world of mobile/free to play games nowadays, but everyone on this team wants to make sure the game is enjoyable. Honestly, it is why we decided to not limit play with some type of energy system. A proven method of making money in other games, but we simply didn't like it. Like I said, I could talk about this endlessly. I'd rather go check my Season finals and energize my front 5.


As always, thanks for the feedback.

I understand and appreciate you expanding and explaining the general vision and direction of the game, and how it'll sustain going forward. But I strongly believe there should be a certain limit on how much can automatically be obtained with money. The absolute highest form of endgame content is usually the only aspect that is left alone when it comes to direct purchase. In this games case it is legendary cards. This is the goal we all strive to achieve, to try to obtain these cards since they're our absolute endgame of accomplishment. For a game to survive while still having healthy profits, I understand the addition of epic packs since epic cards are highly desireable but not the absolute highest form of endgame. A simple change of simply removing legendary cards from those packs would insure that both hardcore and casual players continue playing without losing interest, while still providing healthy profits from players wanting to buy epic cards. Imagine 2 months from now, what happens to the state of the game once many people have elite decks? What is there left to achieve, or continue chasing? Interest will fade away once the highest form of cards become more of a common thing, rather than being a rarity or 'legendary' status. Being able to purchase them now only speeds up the process of players obtaining the highest content and then having nothing else to work towards. The only other solution would be to create a higher tier than legendary, or why else would people actively await new updates or content if new modes only still provide what we can just easily buy already?

I was excited for this update because I thought the vision was providing new modes where players with good decks will have a chance to obtain special and unique cards. But what's the point if I'm just going to get stuff I can just easily buy? Rares have lost a lot of value, and soon enough epics will be a common place; which is fine because we grind for epics or can now buy them to help chase our goal for a legendary. But now that legendaries can be bought, what's our goal now? Why would new events interest players who already have good decks? The way to keep players is to have them chase the best content. If the best content is readily available, why will players continue playing if new events don't provide something we can't already easily get?

There's a reason why MMORPGs sustain for so long. There has to be content that players chase that isn't readily available.

Edit: was typing on my phone, sorry if I repeated myself I couldn't proofread lol

He had one card we never have seen I'm sure of it



And just a thought, these players that buy everybody has nothing to do with this community cause 9/10 times we will only see those players in passing on exhibition. They will battle it out in there own "dream team" seasons with each other

I'm kind of glad, that there is no (visible) ranking in this game. Because who wants to be #1 has to invest the most money.

OMG, that first pic has me in it! I'm Irfan. Not the guy with Dr. J, but one of your potential opponents. You ever went against my quick game team? I usually try and get in a quick game with that "moro" guy. I can beat him like 9 times out of 10.

re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

Haha, jay23, I just saw you in quick game! This is the first time I've seen anyone from this forum, I think. You got some really nice cards. You got an epic Kobe also?
