    Re: Blacktop Challenge

    Am I the only one who is getting this glitch where you don't get credit for wins? I wish I could catch a screen shot of it but I'm always just tapping away trying to get in my 6 rounds. So many times I win 6 rounds and only get credit for 5 wins. Even happens on the first round and it says "+4 +0" or something at the end of the first win showing me that it isn't just me not noticing a loss or something.

        Ugh that sucks, drive 30 minutes south and give them a piece of your mind on Monday! Going to save up for Ultimate or keep doing Super?

          haha i've felt like it at times, but i have to remind myself it's just a game. i already failed with the maxed basic drop rate previously (got epic towns), so i think i'll go with ultimate next even if it means having to wait until next month.

          i've got 30% waiting for me once i get to 48k. it just sets you back so much to try and start all over again. logic tells me it's probably not even worth it since playoff tier is probably a month or so away and getting a BTC star won't mean much then.

            My biggest issues with Ultimate are I'm probably not going to draft the 2 L (ST when PO comes I'd assume) so I have to pay way too much on AH for them and then after all that if I still didn't get a ST or PO BTC player I'd be so pissed. At least with Super I'm not going in with a ton invested or really high expectations

              that's an interesting take, plotting. i might just follow your lead. you're right, the time to acquire 48k is a huge investment for a 70% chance of something that doesn't help my deck at all.

                Been a while since I took a statistics class but you have a 5% chance for 9600, 1/5 of Ultimate which is 48000 so the BRP you would spend in 1 Ultimate gets you 5 Supers (theoretically 5*5%. It's not a true 25% chance because like flipping a coin the previous outcome has no impact on the future outcomes but you can expect to hit 6/20 on 960,000 BRP for Ultimate or 5/100 on the same 960,000 BRP on Super so 1 more expected hit over 960k which no one is going to do isn't worth it to me.

                  I had statistics class last year (sorry for probably making you feel old lol) and ultimate packs are the way to go if you're only looking for stars. For 48K, you can either go ultimate for a 30% chance at a star or buy 5 super packs for a ~22.6% shot at a star. If you want a variety of the BTC cards, then super isn't too much of a loss, but if you only want the highest tier, ultimate gives you the best odds for your money. Also, spending anything on these now is a waste anyway, wait for PO tier because these BTC stars will lose to even regular PO cards every time.

                    Haha gee thanks! I really appreciate the reply. I also want to put a caveat that I'm not telling people Super gives you a better chance to get a Star (I know you weren't implying I was) so if you want the best shot at the best card do as he said above. With that being said I do think Super is a better value because of the fact you don't need the 2 L (probably ST when PO comes out) or a ST enhancement couple with the feeling that you're almost chasing a moving target because 48k BRP takes so long to get. Also the fact that you can expect 6 highest tier cards for every 960k BRP with Ultimate recipes vs 5 for every 960k BRP with Super isn't enough to make me save and wait, hope that all makes sense to people and helps you guys formulate a better strategy.

                      My strategy hasn't changed yet. I play for picks just to get through my Star resets faster. All the while saving up to maybe try one Ultimate recipe when PO tier drops.
                      Quick Game Tier: Star++
                      Season Tier: Star
                      RTTC Tier: Star++

                        Picks are my primary reason for playing as well

                          What's a good strategy for this game? I just started so my 25 cards aren't that good.

                            just try to get the most points each round by beating the same deck that gives you the most pts each rd. its possible to get 1st overall even by not being 1st in any round.

                              Hi there! I'm new to Blacktop Challenge and I was wondering if these points I get after finishing the Challenge add up. I have 275 points, tho I've played 3 challenges. Second one I ended getting 250 and third one - 275. Dunno why it didn't sum up. I was also wondering how does the Ultimate Deck Creator work. I have to get all these cards required plus I need to pay in the points, right?
                              Please help with those points!

                                The points you earn throughout the match don't count towards blacktop reward points(btp). If you go into blacktop and click the rewards, you can see how many btp points you get for each match depending on what position you finish after the final round.

                                And yes, you need to get all the player, enhancement, ability and extras cards plus pay the btp required to cook up the receipe.
