Re: What happened to following for this game?

the developers of this app got too greedy.

The first app was fun and rewarding. The following apps just made it so you have to spend and spend and spend in order to be competitive.

It sucks but what else can you do but quit.

Really? Your talking about mynba2k14, right? The one without resets? The one without season tiers?

Yep. the one where anyone can draft a legend without being locked in specific tiers. the one that had some form of realism and nick youngs were not better than hall of famers. the one that was simple and fun to play. the one before card packs became available etc.

They had packs in the 14 app too.

Funny thing is. Gameplay hasn't changed one bit in 4 years

And you could go 50,000 games without drafting a legend too.

There were a couple of things about 14 that was better than all the rest; no subtiers and event cards were given out at a minimum. Regular cards meant something

14 was good but I think 15 was the sweetpot of this card game. 16 I didn't even play and I'm playing this year's game and it's decent but not anywhere as good as 14 and 15. Having to pay money to list cards on the AH is just plain wrong and greedy.

This is a companion app for the main game I understand trying to make money but now they've gone beyond greedy.

They added it later on.

The 15 Auction House made this game fun...

Needing interaction with others to make pros made this community fun!

Re: What happened to following for this game?

I quit playing 2016 because the grind was killing me and thought I'd see how 2017 is... Seriously paying to auction off cards??? The auction house is now a barren wasteland of overpriced cards. Worst idea ever (not that the devs care)...

Re: What happened to following for this game?

I think it has actually done a good job of slowing the game down. I had a full roster of leg pros last year at this time. I only have 5 and that is with extensive grinding. I don't know that paywalling the AH was the best method of achieving that outcome, but the outcome itself is desirable in my opinion. Last year every card you didn't use went to the AH. Which resulted in depressed prices and very quick progression. Now you actually have to think about whether or not its worth putting a card on the AH. My only issue is that the 200 card limit needs to be changed with this move as you hold onto more cards longer.

Quick question about the game. If I have a veteran contract and I have 3 of the same card and one of them is a foil card will it make a pro out of it and if so is it a foil pro?

Thank you for that answer.

Re: What happened to following for this game?

The game really has become pay-to-play if you want to be near top tier.

Events completely shut out free players because 1) you'll need RP for hot streaks, which if you aren't listing cards on the AH you have very little of and 2) if you want to pro an event card you need a star contract. I realize that the KAT legendary from the upcoming RTTC will drop from regular boards and can be pro'ed that way, but Event cards will not have that option.

Last year I spent money on the game and for a while grinded a ton. This year MoneyGrubbingWhoreDaddy has turned me off from spending a dime and I'll just settle for the satisfaction of getting to legend for free and not worry about wasting time on events or winning seasons.

I would have thought they made enough money off packs—I see tons of people with cards they bought—that they wouldn't feel the need to nickel and dime us through the AH, especially considering this is a companion app for a game that costs $60. I personally think the removal of WCs was enough to improve the economy. Also, MAYBE if it was clear their development costs went up that would excuse these greedy tactics. But this game is a clone of last year's game. And last year, for players on new teams they at least used placeholders (I specifically remember Greg Monroe having a picture of him in a Bucks uniform before he'd ever played a game for them). Now they can't even be bothered to do that. I love having half of my QG lineup fuking blank.
