    This event was really ill conceived on the part of CD. I'm actually having to play as if I were trying for top-25 in RC to have any hope of completing the event. The amount of points per card is the part that they obviously didn't think through ... at all.

    Consider: I missed the first 8 hours of the event because of internet outage. Let's just say that I had slept those 8 hours in two 4 hour chunks for the event, and I will otherwise be awake for and use every possible free game night, and always purchase game nights when I run out.

    I suspect my deck ranks in the top 0.5% or better in strength. A few others in the community have shown off similar decks, but the vast majority of the community has decks which are not as good. Even so, let us assume that everyone has a deck strong enough to beat the +2/4 on the final four cards.

    Here's how the event breaks down. You have to complete all points before 66 hours ends. If you are in the final game and the timer expires, oh well you don't get Igoudala, so for all intents and purposes, you really have 65 hours and 55 minutes. Assume 8 hours total sleep over the course of that 65:55 and you are left with 57:55 in which to complete the event.

    If you can do +7 up through the first 6 cards, and you hot streak:

    Bogut: 224 points, 16 games
    Ezeli: 294 points, 21 games
    Barbosa - Barnes: 420 each = 1680 points, 120 games

    Now, since we're assuming you can beat the final 4 cards on +2:

    Lee - Igoudala: 420 each = 1680 points, 420 games


    So assuming your deck is strong enough to actually beat the final four cards (and very few of us have decks that can do it on +5 level ... and perhaps a small hand full of us can beat +7 reliably), you have to play 577 games during the event.

    47:55 works out to 3,475 minutes available time (assuming you sleep/miss only 8 hours for the entire event, which goes nearly 3 days).

    With 577 games to complete you have to complete a game every six minutes and one second, and still need to account for when you hit the card limit and need to train, which pushes you to need to go even faster.

    Throw in the need to handle making food and taking care of other biological functions, and it starts to become clear that the folks at Cat Daddy just literally didn't think this through at all.

    How many of us have the stamina to be awake for 58 of 66 hours, and complete a game every 6 minutes during that time, along with handling just the basic necessities of life? Remember that these games take longer to load and are roughly equivalent to 5 RC games in length if you go as fast as you can possibly go tapping the screen.

    Like ... I don't think Danan or Brad or anyone actually sat down and figured out how much time it would take someone to go through this many points. I think they just said "If they want it enough they'll buy game nights" and never even considered whether or not it was actually rational to set the bar where they did.

    I think a lot of people are going to realize way too late that their life doesn't allow for them to do an RttC game every 6 minutes for every waking moment ... but only after they already invested a lot into the event.

    This could easily have been headed off on CD's part by them extending the amount of time to do the event, but capping the number of game nights for free, or slowing down the rate of how quickly they come free so that it would equate to the normal amount of free nights.

    The high point totals don't bother me. The difficulty to get the best cards that can be easily made pro doesn't bother me. The expectation that I can somehow have the stamina to meet this insane schedule ... that bothers me a lot.

    This is one SmartForce™ Essay that's worth reading folks
    What if u plus 7 2 of the last 4 and plus 5 the last 2? Totals for that please.

      It's tempting if we can carry over these cards like the Spurs championship rewards cards. But if not, we can only use them for a few more months before 2K16 comes out.

              You guys are insane

              Surely at some point you gotta say to yourself enough is enough and stop doing it to yourself.

              Just got ezeli and already feels like torture.

                I think they've made it pretty clear they don't give a **** about much in this event but making people spend. It should have been extended because if even the best players can't get the best cards without ridiculous demands, it's ludicrous.

                  Re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion

                  does anyone know what my chances are for +2s for Green-Curry.

                  I am currently able to win consistent +7s at Lee/Livingston and soon Barnes, which should be the same I am guessing.

                  i have 4 fully trained Po pros and the others are either Star pros or PO singles with around 3-4 Legendary pros


                  If I can do the +2s , i will most likely continuing hot streaking/buying game nights

                  If i can't I am going to save hte creds and just get up to barnes, since i dont want to waste 8400 credits to lose to Green and then another same amount for klay/curry though I want those cards, but not worth it .

                      How many credits did it cost you to make top 25 in RC?

                          Danan pretty much conceived that if you want all 10 cards this RTTC, you're going to have to use credits. The insult from that response was he replied on Twitter to a user saying "win a season, you get 1000 credits" and from daily bonuses...I'm not even going to start to argue behind the dumb logic behind that.

                          I am curious how they constructed the point totals though...420..is CD a big supporter of National Marijuana day? I don't know, but some explanation from the 294 jump to 420 for the remaining cards is odd.
                          The amount of points required is secondary to the point. The number of games that have to be played in the short amount of time is not something I can spend credits to offset.

                          You give yourself an extra 90 seconds per game, or so. But how many people can +7 POTG level decks?

                              The thing about the last cards is that I don't think they will sell. The quantity won't be high and not that many people will get that far.

                                Might make some trades for some playoffs and try a few games once i get there.

                                nice looking lineup u got there .
