Re: Update 6 Release Notes - March 18th

I'm not trying to change belief. Just stating the facts. People are going to believe or feel what they want. That's valid, and although I know lots of people are expressing angry feelings right now, I do appreciate the responses. People are passionate about the game, so am I. I think the changes we made in the update are good for the game. Some don't. We'll agree to disagree and see how it plays out. We're not opposed to making changes, but facts right now are what I've stated.

You can't believe that, especially when some of your top spenders are complaining. These changes, especially coupled with a game mode requiring 25 cards, can't be considered a good thing at all. Neither can the buy it now prices. I can no longer sell a Star to someone for less than 10k credits without waiting 12 hours??? Bullsh!t

Re: Update 6 Release Notes - March 18th

About to finish 2nd in my season...should have been 2 legendaries to me if I made the finals and lost. So I re energized and spent credits on boosts because I need 2 Legendary cards.

Now it is 1 legendary and 60 credits! I used 150 credits to make the finals.

The quarter final reward is a Legendary but no credits. So I used 150 credits to advance this morning and it nets me -90 credits!!!


I don't even have words to describe how f@*king stupid this is...

Re: Update 6 Release Notes - March 18th

Thanks Beeg. Very good reasoning. Please Danan. Consider this proposal. Revert to the old System of season rewards. No one wants this.

This update would have been good, but the season rewards messed it up. I really hope CD does reconsider. Like I said before, I'd be perfectly okay with 2 Star cards + 400 credits as a Finals win reward.

Re: Update 6 Release Notes - March 18th

Although I am very new to this game (Epic QG line-up, UR seasons) I do feel bad for everyone that got screwed, like the stars season players. I personally have not spent money on this game, as I'm not that type of person. I feel that CD needs to fix the update, as this is the only NBA-type game that is somewhat enjoyable to people (besides 2k itself), and they just ruined it with the update. In my opinion, in order to fix this, they need to A) remove listing prices from the auction house, B) Change up the seasons rewards, maybe not have 1 star and 400 credits, but 2 stars and about 5,000 credits? I do think they did a nice job with the enhancements though. Having this game fall down the drain would be a bummer, as it has so much potential. Please listen to our feedback CD, as we are the ones that actually do the playing.

Update 6 Release Notes

Buy it now and season rewards. The real explosives are as always in the small print or not at all in the notes.

But the golden crowns are nice!

Haven't seen this much negative scrutiny since LeBron went to the Heat.

Re: Update 6 Release Notes - March 18th

As bad as it is for players who can do a Star season, it's far worse for those of us back in Epic or lower. I paid for an asst. manager already in an Epic season, because the reward was supposed to be 1x Legendary and 1x Epic or 2x epic if I was the runner up.

Seasons was the only reliable game mode for reliably advancing your collection. With Rivals Clash, you can put all the work in to get 2x Leg to make a pro Legendary (like I did this last RC) and have network errors in the last few hours screw you out of the reward for that effort.

Seasons, on the other hand, WERE much more reliable for advancement.

Now they nerfed them hard, introduced a whole new tier of top cards for 10,000 credits a pop ($100 for one, $200 for three, basically) invalidating the lineups that were at the top (and making a huge cash grab in the process).

Oh, and they also introduced a new game mode that you can only play four games in an hour (and a game takes less than a minute). If you want a worthwhile reward, I will bet you any amount of money you like that it will be necessary to buy extra tickets to play enough games to get the best reward from each rttp.

The entire thing is a huge bait and switch combined with a gigantic "FU#$ YOU!" to players.

Re: Update 6 Release Notes - March 18th

this update is a bad joke so far...

-season rewards

in star season the new target is the quaterfinals...also 1 star but no credits

-AH

the min and BIN prices are way to high

2000 min for a pro epic??
4800 BIN pro epic??
10000 BIN single star??

if the new RttC isnt good, i quite this game..

Pls adjust thus things...

Re: Update 6 Release Notes - March 18th

It's not so much the change as such. But the way you refuse to listen to your User base.

Please clarify. You are not going to consider a change from the reaction your customers just gave you. Correct danan?

I'm not going to make changes based on feedback after the first hour, no. We will look at the data and feedback from the next several days/weeks and adjust accordingly as we have always done. We just turned on the new features and changes. We're not going to knee jerk react. If we didn't believe in the changes we wouldn't have made them.

I'm sorry but you cannot expect us to believe that you and your team are so stupid as to believe that stealing from players and breaking the law are things you believe are good things to do.

Look at my post history. Look at me engaging with your game, asking for advice, trying to work my way up to higher tier QG/RC lineups and get into higher ranked seasons.

Then look at my posts since you announced these atrocious changes. If you think I'm going to drink the Kool-Aid and suddenly thank you for bait and switching me, you've got a whole ton of other things coming.

Re: Update 6 Release Notes - March 18th

Your users told you last time around with AH that minimums were too high by the fact that everyone was having to make moves for below minimum in order to actually sell stuff. Instead of logic dictating that the minimums were clearly too high, you guys decided to raise the price to buy it now. How you guys came to that reasoning is beyond comprehension, but clearly you don't see the feedback that's right in front of you.

It's a shame. There were a number of cool features in this release, but they are definitely overshadowed by the ridiculous changes that were made.

Re: Update 6 Release Notes - March 18th

We can see a new tier in the AH, "play-offs" (when we put a card in the AH, after "star" there is "play-offs") anyone else saw it ?

Weeks??? I can tell you anybody with marketing background would be running back to the table and changing ideas. If this takes weeks, you will have 1/2 the customers you have now.

Re: Update 6 Release Notes - March 18th

Did your entire dev team go climbing on the stupid tree and all fall from the top, hitting most of the branches on the way down or something? Let's do some maths.

Before the patch:

Star season win rewarded 3 STAR players. Star players cost 6,500 - 10,000 credits for a guaranteed star player from a pack (MVP and HOF packs). On the AH, a Star player is 5,000 minimum, with a 10,000 buyout.

Pre-patch value of winning a STAR season = 15,000 - 30,000 credits.


After the patch:

Star season rewards 1 STAR player and 400 credits. Star players cost 6,500 - 10,000 credits for a guaranteed star play from a pack (MVP/HoF packs). On the AH, it's 5,000 minimum to 10,000 buyout.

Post-Patch value of winning a STAR season = 5,400 - 10,400 credits


Difference in value of seasonal reward = -9,600 - 19,600 credits <--- That's a gigantic NEGATIVE swing in reward. You can't spin it as a positive because you set the pack prices for guaranteed STAR cards at 6,500 and 10,000 AND you set the minimum price for a STAR card on the AH to 5,000 with the minimum buyout being 10,000.

How can you argue with a straight face that 400 credits is an improvement?
