    RivalsClash suggestion. Because it sucks when your team loses.

    So I'm a huge Bulls fan and it disappoints me greatly that we're way behind in this Rivals Clash and that I won't be taking away a Butler or Gibson card from the event.

    I'm currently shooting for the Epic Pro David Lee, but even if and when I get him and he becomes the best card in my deck, I'll only ever look at him and think, "you're just not Taj"!

    In all seriousness, it's not the first time that I've been on the losing side in Rivals Clash, and every time it happens it bothers me that for all the time and effort I spend on the event, I end up with cards that I don't want or at least weren't my preference.

    I know it's been asked before, but seriously now... why can't we just all take away prizes from the side we've actually picked?

    I appreciate that if everyone just gets what they want irrespective of who wins, there's not really much point in keeping score, at which point it's not much of a 'clash'.

    But could there not be another incentive given to be part of the winning team?

    Why not give the winners something extra on top of the player cards, like credits based on your ranking, some enhancements, supports or rookie cards? The losers on the other hand just get the player card(s) for their ranking tier.

    Look, we all know who's going to win after about 2 hours of the event starting anyway. It's hardly 'intense competition'. How many players potentially get put off as soon as they realise their side is destined to lose?

    I almost gave up on the event completely yesterday because I'm flat out not interested in the Warriors cards. They're not cool to me. I don't care about David Lee in the slightest. I'd almost rather have the UR Swaggy P.

    I'd have been playing a lot harder if I knew that my reward was going to be Gibson, or even Butler, who I'd have chased if Bulls were on course to win.

    I'm not trying to moan because I love the game but I just think that when it comes to RC, it might raise the overall interest in the event if the outcome for each individual wasn't decided by the masses.

    I like the idea a lot!

    It would also add some diversity to the game, because the losing side's cards would be in the game as well.

    The one thing that would need to be added is - as you say - the reward for the winning side. In fact, at the moment winning or losing doesn't create any suspense at all. You know who'll win after two hours, and there's nothing you could do to affect the outcome. So let your fresh ideas flow right in.

      Yeah, that's another point that I hadn't considered. I see the Epic Paul Pierce and Jameer Nelson cards on almost ever LU I go up against at the moment, and it would be cool if not everyone had exactly the same cards.

        I'm also very upset I can't get that Jimmy Butler. I have enough offense as it is.

        All valid points. Let's hope this could happen in the future.

          I can't wait to draw Defense vs Offense, play Curry, and lose just like I always do.

          Also, am I the only who really hates how the Curry and Lee cards look?

            Crap, that is how it works? I had been grinding trying to get two Taj Gibsons. Now I don't even care. Probably just let it ride and take whatever I get. As you said most of the Warrors cards suck. Which begs the question why is everyone playing as the Warriors.

              Because you can easily sell curry and buy a star card I think.

                Yeah, it would be better to get the card of the team you chose. The Warriors Xmas cards are laughable but I need an Epic PF so Iunfortunately instead of Taj I will accept the Lee card.

                  I wanted pro Birdman because i desperately want a Pro UR C, but i won't be angry when i get those 2 Epic David Lee's. I think this RC has been easier to get better cards than the past two.

                    They certainly could have picked some better pictures. I never like the cards that have players reaching upwards - Spencer Hawes comes to mind. The David Lee one is pretty awful.

                      I like this idea because I am a nuggets fan and by the time we finally get a RC( asumming we ever do) the nuggets will get killed by pretty much whoever we play and I won't get my card that I want
