Lower the ridiculous prices on credit packs and that pretty much solves everything. Make it feel like we're getting value for our money. The 2500 credit pack should be no more than $4.99. People will buy at that price point, Stars will start to move at ten bucks a pop. Nobody is going to buy a Star card at almost forty dollars, that's ridiculous.

You are correct, affordable credits combined with minimums that are set in line with the actual tier strengths (not random numbers) would pretty much solve the AH issue.

Tier minimums like the below would make more sense and mean there is a distinct cost in not buying a star and waiting to have enough for a PO card. At the moment the gap is too small.


UR - 500
Epic - 1,000
Leg - 2,000
Star - 4,000
PO - 8,000

See what I did there? It was pretty difficult... seems to make more sense than:

UR - 400
Epic - 800
Leg - 2,000
Star - 5,000
PO - 7,500

Where the hell is the relationship in those minimums?!?

However as you highlight the main problem is lack of credits. Reducing credit pack costs would be a great fix but like all good games their auction house models have a GOOD way to grind currency. Fifa you earn it playing games, World of Warcraft you earn it farming etc. In MyNba you earn nothing for playing the bulk of your games and an absolute pittance for being top 4 out of 32 people in a season (which is 4-5 days long)

Something as simple as rewarding quick games with credits like:

* 1 credit for a loss
* 3 credits for a OT win; and
* 5 credits for a win in normal time

would provide a sufficient boost to the in game credits meaning people could actually afford card.

Even at 5 credits a QG an average player (which I was) would only average 30-40 wins an hour max. That is 200 coins an hour. I played around 3-4 hours a day so that is only max 800 credits a day I would earn if I won every game in normal time. That doesn't sound extravagant and it means I would still only get enough coins to buy a play off card once every 9-10 days if I didn't spend any credit elsewhere, which I would on hotstreaks, game nights etc. I would like to point out I don't even win half my games in normal time!

What the above would do is it would also cure 3/2 lineups overnight. You can still use them effectively if you want but you are only earning 60% of the credits you otherwise would. Put in a deterrent and see people change their habits.

Re: Please review the AH and PO seasons

Why are HOF packs still more expensive than PO cards even at BIN? Why where they excluded from the 50% off sale. Some of these things really make no sense at all.

Re: Please review the AH and PO seasons

i think that's the general problem with the overall system they have in place currently...they set the pack prices at absurd values in the beginning before AH came out..and thus, when they created mins and BIN...it had to reflect the values you would get from buying a pack so you wouldn't automatically disregarding the opportunity to buy a pack instead of going to AH to get the card you want (which is stupid cause who would open a pack over AH with the same value for the card they want)

the other thing i hope they change in 2k16 is if they make packs to a reasonable price...make packs more than 1 card..i mean i could be wrong, but i define a "pack" as more than 1....any card collecting fan would tell you how much fun it is to actually purchase a pack of cards and open it wondering what you can get out of it..mix them up with enhancements and energy cards with 1 card reflecting the value..ie. Leg pack (you get 1 leg, an enhancement, an energy card and a common/uncommon or something like that)

Re: Please review the AH and PO seasons

I know I don't have the best cards but I have seriously sold around 4 cards to about 50 listings .

I can't see my entire history but that's my guess with what I can see being like 2-24.

I have sold 1 out of my last 20 listings (all I can see on history) and that was a UR which I had to list 3 times. All cards were fully trained most 3 slots.

They include: Durant, Magic, Oscar (MvP), Wade, Gasol, Westbrook

Not what I would call trash
