Definitive Strat for RTTP

Re: Definitive Strat for RTTP

I don't get why the person that asked the question was copping it so much on Twitter. NWGD had already said it would be fixed with the next update, and he was just asking whether it had been yet. I don't mind the fix too even though it means I won't be able to get as far, as the game mode should reward people for having 25 strong cards, not just 10. It's similar to 3/2 in that sense.

It was also mentioned on twitter that in the coming update the bug where you draft from your QG tier on the RTTC board will be fixed.

Re: Definitive Strat for RTTP

If they only change the double events without decreasing the strength of the cards, this will be a joke in my eyes.
Not everybody has 25 Star Pros, or 15 or 20. And if you can only get the Star if you have a deck like this, this mode is useless.

You draft in Playoff tier for QG, but won't be able to get a Star card in the RTTC (just as an example)

I do like balanced decks,but if they simply change the double events, that would mean you need a ton of Star Pros and not a balanced deck. As this won't help you when you hit the wall. Cause your Legend Pro can win anything.

But let us see how it will work - maybe they surprise us

Re: Definitive Strat for RTTP

Interesting. NWGD said that you would get a reset at the tier your RTTP deck was at. Perhaps they coded it to only account for your best 5 cards?

I will eat my keyboard if they actually decreased the other cards strength in addition to nerfing the tag team match ups. Every patch, fix, update or whatever has come with an either intended or unintended nerf to something. They just can't come up with a fix or update that is completely positive to the end user, it's just not going to happen.

Re: Definitive Strat for RTTP

Hoping this update doesnt come before the rttc... I've collected credits and now I would finally have the chance to get that star card, maybe even grind for the last reward with losses. My lineup is 5 star singles, 1 rc single, 4 legpros, 3 legs and 4 epic pros. Why I don't have more cards is simply that I've needed to sell alot of epics and few legendaries to be able to advance, to dupe those legendaries and so forth. If they now make it so that you need to win majority of the matches without decreasing the deck strength of the opponents, I wouldn't be able to reach even the legendary card. Which in my honest opinion makes no sense, as I'm already running on 17 cards that are equal or better to a fully trained single legendary card...

Re: Definitive Strat for RTTP

The free players who dont want to pay to play this game and just do it for fun, keep getting bent over and forced to grab their ankles in my opinion. Ever since the update that changed season rewards ive been stuck at legend tier and havent been able to advance. And every "update" or "fix" since then has just made it harder and harder for us guys.. Thanks Cat Daddy.

Re: Definitive Strat for RTTP

I already detailed the math earlier, but I'll re-state here (and once the fix goes live and this is confirmed I'll be posting a new guide to the event).

The 1v1 events give one of the following point totals:

5-3
6-4
7-5

Please note that winning a 1v1 event results in a 4 point swing, or a +2 point differential.

What has been happening since the event was introduced is that on the "double points" event, only the winner got double points, and the losing team got the base points. That resulted in the following:

10-3 = +7
12-4 = +8
14-5 = +9

As you can see, at the worst, this resulted in the "Double" event having a point differential that was at least 1 point better than the other three matchups for the quarter. If both the winner and loser points were doubled, the points would look like this:

10-6 = +4
12-8 = +4
14-10 = +4

This makes the "double point" event worth "double" winning a 1v1 matchup. This is almost certainly the "bug" and what will be fixed. Assuming that the card strengths remain the same, then the strategy will just require 4 more cards in a third position, and you use your 2nd and 3rd strongest card for the "double" event (except if a quarter comes up with your bad card in the 3rd position, in which case you use your 1st and 2nd strongest that quarter). You then use your best card in the quarter in one of the last two matchups (depending on its numbers). You will need to win the double events plus at least 3 of the remaining 1v1 events, assuming they choose to just "fix" the double point events as described.

Another thing that people noticed was that you could stack your best cards into the deck and then slot all commons in the rest of the slots and that would make the opposing card strength easier. This will certainly be fixed and each deck will be locked. So the first Star card +5 deck will feature the same cards no matter how you slot your deck, for example.

Got a guide written up and just need to confirm the changes, and I'll be posting a new guide when the fix goes live.

You would get banned just for the language in that above post though would you?!?

Funny thing - I thought he had been made an admin / mod. Banned is similar colouring to NWGame and b-rads names on my phone

Re: Definitive Strat for RTTP

Well, if CD is causing that level of frustration (which I totally get), there is something to it, right?

Ever since all the nerfs, I have spent on playing MyNBA maybe 30% of the time that I used to. Moved to another "free-to-play" card game.

Huge, huge disappointment, CD. You're just adding new pictures with higher numbers but the "game" remains a mindless grind. You can do better than that.

Re: Definitive Strat for RTTP

any news on the nerf?

Re: Definitive Strat for RTTP

I'm pretty sure they have't fixed this "bug" yet, winning double events only should still win you the quarter.
