New mode is great in theory and I understand you can't make things too easy but 48k points at a 200 point best case scenario pace? That's more of a time investment than RTTC and RC combined.... FOR A CHANCE! I'll play casually for the picks but I don't expect anything good to come from it.

Not only that, it's not even a good chance. You place first 240 times, requiring about 120 hours of play time...to roll a dice essentially. If you roll a 6 you get a Star, if you roll a 1,2,3,4 or 5 you've wasted 120 hours. LMAO!

Don't you mean 96-0. Either way, maintenance shouldn't take that long so you should be fine.

Thanks man, I thought I won but just realised it was the semis. Lol. Just played first game of the finals when I went to check my reward. Lol

Totally agree. At least at this point in the year when anything regular star and below is worthless to a lot of people (myself included).

This could be way more attractive at the beginning of an NBA season when we're all grinding to get everything. At that point, these BTC legs/epics would actually be useful to us. If you spend 120 hours playing this and come up with a BTC leg from a pack, you're pissed. That card is completely useless and you've just wasted weeks.

FWIW, I've played two BTC games so far and won both. I think I'll do it casually but to me, it's not replacing the attraction of netting a guaranteed event star in a 3 1/2 day event.

Although I'll admit that making 120 picks at once is a nice little trip down memory lane to a time when we used to be able to stockpile 200 picks.

The new mode is depends on what player you have draw
Star++ player should be still strong on 30% energy

Just finish 3rd at first time
But on the draft broad I got a star holford. Nice

Re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion: Part 2 (Please Read the First Post Before Posting)

My initial thoughts after two games of blacktop.

Pros:
It's fun. I really like the game mode. It's a good change of pace from quick games. The time commitment is there but if you have 30 minutes its a somewhat enjoyable 30 minutes rather than mindlessly tapping in quick games.

Picks. I won both games I played and that got me 240 picks. That's almost double what I could normally get in an hour of quick games.

Cons:
Energies. Man did I not miss these. In seasons I started paying the 100 RP every time just to not deal with them, now they're unavoidable. Seasons you pay 100 RP for 15 energies basically. In this there is no RP option and the credit option I believe is 50 credits for 4-5 energies. That's madness to me. Pulling energies off the board is like a punch in the gut to me.

Matchmaking. It's bad. Really bad. What they say about weaker decks being able to beat better decks is true but nowhere to the extent. My deck isn't great since I recently sold most of my star pros. I have 3 star pros left and the rest is littered with season/event won star and legendary pros. I was able to place first both games I played despite there being a few decks I faced that had what would lead me to believe is essentially way more star pros than I had. In 2 games I got 1 of my star pros in my hand, a few guys I played had 4 to give you a better understanding. So yeah, what they say is true. Weaker decks can beat better decks with skill/strategy/luck. But here's where the con comes in. In these two games I played many decks with like maybe their best card being an epic. Even with the way the top decks get nerfed these players have absolutely no shot at competing in these games.

I like the mode, it's a fun change of pace to the game and a great way to stack picks. A few glaring things that stick out to me though: The people that CD had test this either didn't give feedback or CD didn't care what they had to say. I played 2 games and got 1st and 2nd and every opponent I played but 1 had a Leg+ deck at best, I'm Star++. Gary said there is no need for match making but even a ST pro @ 30% is better (or about the same) than 100% L pro so he is completely wrong about the need for matchmaking. As a top tier play it's nice that it's easy but how frustrating is it going to be for lower tier players because of this? What motivation do they have to play this game after they finish 4th 10 times in a row? Also I get the fact you don't want everyone to have 10 of these cards but c'mon how unrealistic is 48K for a 1/6 shot at getting these cards? Law of averages means I have to get 288k BRP to win 1 Star here or win 1440 times which would be about 720 hours (30 days) of playing time, that's insane! 17% is way too low for 48k those are the kind of odds I'd like to see for something that cost 10k or make it 50k but guarantee you get a card. Seems like a possibly great mode could have been even better if it was more well tested/thought out.

Does anyone have a strategy for lower tiers for blacktop challenge?
I've played one game so far and got sixth because I'm in UR++ and everyone above me had leg pros

You basically highlighted the two issues that I have. With a star++ deck and no matchmaking, I'm finishing 1st or 2nd every round regardless.

48k RP for a 17% chance (at best) of getting a star is absolutely ridiculous. They either need to make the star card guaranteed for the 48k or they need to severely limit the amount needed to create a recipe.

I'm sure they will greatly reduce the cost of recipes or increase the chance. If they don't, this mode will be very short-lived lol. I would recommend not buying a recipe until changes are made (if anybody can even reach 48k before that time)

I'm guessing one of two things will happen. 1-10 people will get the 48k FOR A CHANCE at the star and that will be used as anecdotal evidence for CD to say, "See you can technically do it"* or no one will reach it in a reasonable time and they lower it. The former is more likely.

I'm only going to open the small pack to hopefully get a magic player. I figure I'll be able to do maybe two packs within the month.

Re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion: Part 2 (Please Read the First Post Before Posting)

Played two games. Anyone been able to beat 313 victory points

Re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion: Part 2 (Please Read the First Post Before Posting)

I've noticed in my second game I had higher tier players, who were churning through games quickly. An all star pro lineup definitely has an advantage in this mode.
