MyNBA2k17 Star Tier Launch Sets
Every team got two cards with mix of current and historic players (HOU got third with first Star event). Without deep diving into analytical listing,some of the choices were quite curious that may be due to balancing positions.
We probably should expect similar scenario (two per qualifying team) for the Playoff tier launch lineup due to lack of wild cards and generally needing three cards to pro. Of course, events, theme packs, and BTC will add additional cards as we move forward.
Let me know if I messed something up, and hope to read your comments!
