Re: Suggestions/Feedback

Why should they take away the option for someone like myself to buy hot streaks? I don't have the time to build up a thousand with my work schedule so being able to buy them allowed me to finish in the top 50 and get what I needed. I'm fine with them allowing people to stack them but don't suggest something that punishes other players because you didn't finish as well in this one.

Well stated.

Re: Suggestions/Feedback

Season balancing direly needed! I am tired of playing a season only to get steamrolled by someone whose team stats are grossly higher than everyone else. As an example, currently my team has an average rating of 2200 and there is one person whose team averages 4500+ in each area. More than twice! That's fair? What is the point of playing if it is not competitive?

I totally agree with this. I would be willing to wait a day or two even if that's how long it would take to compile a season full of comparable teams!

Re: Suggestions/Feedback

3 things I wouldn't mind seeing (I think all have been mentioned here in some form):

1) Better matchup system for seasons. I stopped playing seasons because I was getting matched up against teams much stronger than my own since I have no legends and just finally got a pro epic from the last rivals event.

2) Some kind of trade/auction system would be great. Being able to trade with your buddy for an epic Paul Pierce so you can have a pro version and he gets your epic Nate Robinson so he can have a pro version of that.

3) I would love milestone rewards. I have buddies that have played as many or fewer games on this app and have pulled multiple legends whereas I have yet to pull any. Milestone rewards would give someone like me an incentive to keep playing the app instead of just getting frustrated and moving on to some other game. (for the record I'm 4700 - 989 currently)

You make a fair point, Josh. People who play games will either have time or money (or both) on their hands. Everyone on the spectrum should have a shot at the rare prizes. And after thinking about it more, I do think you are right that the way to make the most level playing field in a tournament (which is what I'm trying to suggest) is to allow the people who have more money and less time to buy hot streaks, and for the people who have more time and less money the ability to store hot streaks. Both will have that important strategy tool when it comes down to "money time" at the end.

For me, not having the option to rack up points in 10-point chunks at the end very much affected both the enjoyment factor and the outcome for me. Pointing out that I was 7th in one and 11th in the other was merely to demonstrate how important hot streaks are in the last 2-3 hours. I would guess that most people on the bubble of an award tier would agree with me on that point. Cisco, Odc, Brian (and maybe tafpres...I'm not sure if he was using hot streaks or not), had the benefit of "unlimited" hotstreaks in those crucial hours. I had this in tourney #1 and didn't in tourney #2. I'm asking for that back, that's all.

Well stated. That is a very fair point. There should be fairness throughout.

Storing hotstreaks makes no difference though unless you are trying to surprise players higher in rankings. Net points you receive, whether you are storing or not, will not change. The only thing it has a chance to do is make players ahead think differently which does not always happen.

Regardless, I will start and end with "unlimited" hot streaks because of time conflicts.

Have to strongly disagree with you on this. It makes a huge difference because in the final hour, there is no chance to regain the lead once it is lost. At any other point in the week, when you are "guarding" a top 10 spot, you can let it go for a while to store up hot streaks, and then stay up extra late or get up earlier or skip bathroom breaks! or whatever to regain the lead.

So, just like coaching a team and managing the fatigue of players to have them at their best in the 4th quarter, you play it a little differently during the week to put yourself in position to have the "insurance" of stored up hot streaks. Trust me on this. Playing one tourney with, and one without, were 2 completely different experiences.

You just destroyed my argument. Haha I agree spot on with the point about push in final hour.
