Re: MyNBA2K16 Dev Diary 1

Hey, btw: apologies for saying "tomorrow." I thought yesterday was Thursday. It was a long day. We'll reveal all the rewards on Friday.

Wow you are kidding right ?

Will there be another diary post later ? Can we expect those every day now ?

I collected enough cards as a kid to know how the foil card scam works. Anything not foil will be practically trash and finding a foil version of something that you actually want will be nearly impossible. It's already hard enough to find ANYTHING that you are specifically looking for. This new version is going to be a whole different animal.

It's really easy to find what you want. Pretty much every card is on the ah for min. And if it's not it will be soon.

That's great if you have a high amount of credits or spend money...but if you rely on auctions for credits and selling the same cards everyone else has, forget it. That's irrelevant anyway. I'm talking about the next version of the game. It's going to be much harder and it's already unnecessarily hard in this current version.

Selling my foil cards with 5k buyback. Let me know if you want to set up a deal in advance. You'll have to go first I have no credits.

I can't even laugh at this, because this is exactly what this site is gonna look like in 2 months.

This is all basically because of...

Waaahhhh... I want everything I want, and I want it all for free! The game is terrible if it doesn't let me get specifically what I want, at the highest level, without having to be patient or spend a dime!

Really? I was expecting you to come to CD's defense again....

I've said it plenty of times before.

Check my post history. I've laid into CD when it's warranted.

But this community is really just as bad, if not worse, with the ridiculous stances taken.

This community KILLED the card market (with help from CD oversaturation), with desperate buybacks, and a general unwillingness to spend money, but expectations of getting the world. The post I quoted is the exact sentiment I'm talking about. It's THE largest reason the market is dead.

The idea that free players should be able to get exactly what they want, without having to be very patient, very lucky, or very good at working the market.. is honestly ludicrous. It's laughable. Nobody should want that. Not even free players (because itsl kills the entire point of playing the game, as well as the card market). If that's what we want, why not just start the game with a draft where you pick every player you want, and just let that be that?

It's stupid.

The fact that I'm one of only a few players that comes out against the idea that everyone should just always get everything they want, for free, with minimal effort is insane to me. Nobody else seems to see the obvious correlation between the popularity of this mindset, and the fact that the card market is absolutely dead (to everyone's chagrin). The same people that cry about how they can't sell anything, were the very people offering buybacks in the beginning because they were too desperate and impatient to let the market set itself. Now they whine about how nothing sells, and offer 4.5k bb on cards, any chance they get.. not understanding any of what they're doing.

Sure - we are all unwilling to spend 60 Dollar for one PO Card.

Ridiculous pricing is not the fault of us

You seem to believe a speed hack is being used in the video and try to use it as evidence that Cat Daddy doesn't care. Let me correct you on these points.

In the video, Syd completes 3 games in ~25 sec per game. This is completely possible to do without a speed hack. I have done it myself on my iPhone 6. It simply takes massive tapping, a disregard for the card played, not playing a support, and not having card abilities fire off (like in the video). The device played on makes a difference since better hardware does load things much faster. I could not pull off 25 sec games on my iPad 2 for instance.

As for speed hacking, we have had measures in the game to prevent speed hacks for months. Although it is always a constant battle with hackers to prevent their latest method of cheating, speed hacking is not one of those areas where a speed hacker is gaining an advantage (I.e. Our countermeasures have killed any advantage speed hackers think they gain).

We care tremendously about preventing cheating and spend a good amount of dev time to prevent it from happening in the game. Criticizing Cat Daddy for this aspect doesn't hold a lot of water.

I have an iPhone 6+. The fastest I can manage WITH draft picks is 27 seconds. First, is it not obvious that the animations looks to be sped up 5x than the norm? Even if you're tapping the screen literally at every chance, there is just no possible way to for animations to go that quickly.

Secondly, you're telling me, it's humanly possible to go 25 seconds per game for 16-18 (at least) consecutively for 4-5 days every two weeks (including HS'ing)? Look at the past RC scores, it just doesn't compute.

Thirdly, I like how in your response, you seem to completely disregard the other video which clearly is scripting.

I'm not trying to single anyone out, but those two videos surfaced are visual proof that scores at the top of RC are inflated, which means $$$ for CD to profit from HS sales. I'm pretty sure an iPhone 6+ has slightly better hardware specs than the 6, and I've had the phone for about a year so don't try to tell me I don't know how fast the phone can or cannot go.

Re: MyNBA2K16 Dev Diary 1

To address a few points in the thread...

We are planning to issue a new Dev Diary at least once a week during August. We will share various aspects of '16 through these posts, so you'll get a complete picture of the new game. It is in active development and play testing though, so some of the specifics may change, as happens during development. Like we said in the first post, things like the Contract numbers are currently 6,4,2 but if we find in play testing they need to be higher or lower we will adjust them.

Overall intention with '16 is that we want to introduce a card system that feels more fun to grow and build your deck, that gives you more choices, and does have more space to allow you determine what is a valuable card and what isn't. Yes, that means card supply on the AH will come down, but as others have pointed out that is a good thing. If we learned nothing else from '15's AH it is that supply of cards is far too high.

This first post gives you enough info to start understanding where we are going, and to help understand the Loyalty Rewards post later today. You'll get an even better picture throughout the month. I will say free players are very important to the game, and we are not "turning the game into a pay game only". We have never done that, as evidenced by so many free players here that have cards in the PO/Greats tier. Does it mean a non-payer will have everything they want immediately? No, free players will have to spend more time and work the other avenues to get currency so they can buy packs. Those avenues exist though so free players will not be left out.

I have done 25 sec per game, it is possible. Sustainable? I have no idea what people do to sustain playing RC games.

What other video? I haven't seen that, please send in a Feedback if you suspect cheating with links, video, or any other evidence and we will investigate. We have no problem banning cheaters if we have evidence of it.
