FAQ

Re: FAQ

There is a spreadsheet somewhere which lists all the cards, by tier, showing their total stat points, and how they are allocated. Pro versions are also shown for most tiers.

Find that spreadsheet and you will know which cards are objectively the strongest. Obviously put some thought into having a relatively balanced deck. Don't ever rely upon getting specific events to win your matches.

Here is the link

Re: FAQ

Each game in a season takes 30 minutes, and there is a 30 minute period after each game. Once the season starts, it is therefore 82 hours until the playoffs begin.

The playoffs are a special case as the 2nd round won't begin until the first round is completely done, and it will look like you are playing games even if you sweep your opponent, but no actual energy loss happens or anything like that. There also seems to be a bug where even if the round is over and all winners decided, it still puts in a buffer "game".

As for the Rival's Clash, that depends. What you really want to know is the breakpoints for each tier of reward.

1-25: I think that it was something like 26k at spot #25. 1-25 get 2x the RC Star card so you can level them up, combine into pro and level the pro up for a very strong card, as well as giving you a 2nd copy of the previous RttC top reward. This is only worth going for if you actually get the final RttC reward, imo.

26-100: This tier gets 2x the RC star card, and is still quite difficult to get into. You should be able to find the points required for these breakpoints in the recent Nets Vs. Raptors RC discussion thread, near the end.

101-1000: This tier gives you the RC star card and a specific Star card (which you can make pro by getting one from seasons/QG picks or buying on the AH).

After 1,000, the rewards don't really appeal to me, so I didn't even pay attention to what they get. This last event (the first one on the shortened schedule this year) the cutoff point was 6,727 points. Some people with 6,726 points got the top 1k reward and some didn't, due to ties. There was less than 100 points separating #500 from #1000.

thanks a lot guys... I come up with another question now hehe... I didn't have the 2k14 game... so I wanted to know if this game will continue after NBA 2k16 comes up...

Almost certainly. NWGD did say that the loyalty rewards will be adjusted because they don't like that so many people had the loyalty rewards as the main part of their deck for so long. I think that's hogwash really. Once you progress past the UR tier you stop seeing those cards so what's the big deal?

Anyway ... if they're giving thoughts on how to give us a little thank you reward for this year in next year's app, it's pretty safe to assume there will indeed be one

I've got a suggestion (feel free to tell me I'm an idiot). Next year, assuming the tiers stay the same, you will get a second freebie card for each tier you conquer this year. So, for example, if you get to Playoff tier this year, next year when you reach SR level, you will get 2 free SR cards instead of 1. Then, when you reach UR, you will get 2 free UR cards. Ditto all the way up the line.

This will accomplish 2 things: 1) you won't see a million of same cards, like the Spurs cards this year, and 2) it will give you powerful rewards without making you too strong right away.

my suggestion is just to give out 1 to 5 epic packs compared to 1-5 same loyalty cards. He said he didn't like everyone having the same cards at the start that should solve it. Or if he wanted to make a special championship pack made up of players from the 2 teams who made the finals that ranges from UR to Legendary rarity.

Whatever the reward is it needs to be in a close range of equal for all, so free packs with a wide variance are a no-no. Giving everyone 5 free epic packs or something (assuming they make Playoff tier ... -1 pack for each tier lower?) is probably the easiest to implement idea I've seen so far.

But really, I think the "everyone has the same deck" argument is kinda lame. So what? It didn't bother me in the slightest (and I started late and had to learn how to overcome those cards). I think the only person who didn't like it was maybe NWGD?

Re: FAQ

How about 80 free credits instead; so we can spend as we wish.

Re: FAQ

I'm telling you. That's enough to buy a draft pick, and still have some left over to lose it on the auction house if you don't like it. After all that, you still have enough for a hot streak to get a head start in the first RC.

Now that's what you call flexible.

Re: FAQ

Re: FAQ

Hi Nwgamedad, I passed the 3k game played but I did not receive my 3 UR upgrade. There was a screen with !!! on top that appeared three times, but there were no cards. It did the same for the UR upgrades before the UR Jordan. Coul you please help me retrieve the upgrade I never received?

You don't necessarily get UR enhancements, it can also be rare ones. I always get the !!! message but the enhancements do turn up in my cards.

Thanks! It sucks I only won rare...

Re: FAQ

The !!! screen shows up since months - and they are not able to fix this. The same with different stuff - bug fixing is not their main concern (only if it could cost them money, then they are pretty quick)

Re: FAQ

If I buy a Legendary card from a legendary pack it can't be sold in the auction house. But if I combine it with another legendary (not from a pack) to make a Legendary Pro, can that Pro version be sold in the auction house?
