    I know there is much ire over the Swaggy P card, and I expected it. However, I wanted to explain the logic and how he ended up with a Star card. I'm sure many will still disagree, but I assure you we didn't just make the card randomly because we are "not basketball fans". We are a card game and sometimes there are many things to consider.

    For this RC I wantsd Lakers vs. Detroit. Both haven't had a RC yet, and they have some history together. We have never done a RC card of Kobe either so I wanted to get him a card finally. Of course it is tough to match up against Kobe so really Isaih was the only choice. That left who to put in the Star card position. When we launched the Star tier we put more historical players in there knowing we would fill the tier out with RC launched Star cards of current players. This would prevent the tier from being historical players only. The rough choice for this event though was that the Lakers, to put it delicately, are terrible this season. Beyond Kobe who is a perennial star player, who meets the status this season? The answer is no one, yet we had to fill the rarity of we wanted to keep the Lakers as a RC team. So, we went with a "popular" player in Swaggy P.

    I hear all the feedback, just understand how we got there. The inevitable questions of why not Shaq, Magic, virtually any of the dozens of All Stars that have played for the Lakers over the years are fair, but understand the goal of trying to get a current player in the mix. Also, we have many plans still for those great players and we don't want to dilute the card pool with 20 versions of the same guy.

    As for Monroe, for this Season he was the Detroit top player by stats when I designed the card. That is why he got the Star spot. I disagree that he wasn't deserving at least for his play this Season.

    Hopefully that helps explain the RC rewards. I'll duck for cover now so the shooting can continue. ;-). Thanks for playing!
    My thoughts:
    -No Kobe RC ever? Wasn't there one last year?
    -Kobe is technically still "current", meaning the Star card could have been historic; this could have gave a "what if" RC scenario of old vs. new at each tier (Kobe vs. Thomas and West/Magic/Baylor vs. whoever the Pistons most current Star is).
    -Nash (also technically still current) is Star material, maybe not in his Lakers years, but def a Star in his career.
    -Basing Star material off of "popularity" vice contributions to the NBA is absurd, and honestly really sad.
    -Don't want to dilute the card pool with 20 cards of the same player? How many Steph Curry cards are there? Klay Thompson has 2 different Star cards. The 2nd RC introduced what? A 2nd, DIFFERENT Legendary Penny. Christmas themed cards, Throwbacks, Record Setters! So, let me understand... a card of the same player is "better" than the one I have because it has Christmas lights around it? You have definitely "diluted" the pool already. But the real dilution right now is bringing in new Star cards every RC, making it harder to pro the ones we have.

    In the end, it's your game, and you will do with it as you please. We could all say we're mad and won't play anymore, but we will. We could all say we're not paying another dime, but we will. My honest statement is this:
    Just know and remember who brought you the amount of success you guys have had. The players, fans, customers, however you view us, have gave and invested A LOT in you and your games. If at the very least, all I ask is that you stay somewhat true to the game and learn from the Kyle Macy mistakes last year (saturating the highest tier with cards we all know don't belong there), which seems to be happening already. I know you are always asked for new content, but quality over quantity is almost always far more satisfying.

      I do although I disagree with the logic, but I'm an old guy and probably a good portion of the players aren't as fond of historical players as some of us are.

      No matter, having the nads to come and explain the logic no matter how flawed is admirable.

      Thx, gamedad.

        We've had a previous season D Wade, previous season D Rose, so why couldn't we get a previous season of Pau Gasol as a Laker? I'm sorry but that still seems like poor reasoning to me

          S/O to NWGamedad for taking the heat w/ the Star cards for this RC...nevertheless going for RC Kobe even tho I need a pg more. This RC will be a route of epic proportion.

            On the bright side I could really use a Star Kobe (no matter how much I dislike him) and I will happily play a Star Swaggy, but if the going is a little rough I just got a Leg Worthy for my Leg reset so another one to pro it to go with my Star Kobe would be fine.

            Looks like another RC where I have things to aim for and this time I have a little over 1200 credit to HS if needed.

                Because Pau isn't still on the Lakers. It was a 2011 Wade card, but Wade is still on the Heat.

In which case it's more efficient to never train trainig fodder at all unless you need to get rid of the cards for space.
                    IIRC, the number is 0.6. Which means: Whenever you train a card into another one you lose 40% of its value.

                    @apos1914 - that "legendary = 0" is nasty.

                        Are you really thinking that someone would spend credits on buying super rares?

                          I mean his explanation was pretty simple. They want the Star card (only the star card. Leg & below dont matter LeBrons Heat card is Leg tier) to be a player from the 2014-15 version of the team, but they also want the Card year to involve the team (so cant use a MVP Suns Steve Nash or Knicks Linsanity)

                            In total, over 900 boards in Star & Star+, not a single Leg... Really disappointing.
