what about those of us that grind through Gauntlet to get a horribly broken Cousy that they have yet to fix, but you put Diamond Jennings in packs?

My first commercial for NBA Live would be a parody 2k's Diamond trash, like, do you want the real NBA experience or do you want a make-believe NBA in alternate universe run by greed? 2k used to champion "sim" as opposed to Live, now they've turned into something much worse and we need a new champion.

Exactly...

They think they are helping the problem of packs not selling by releasing overpowered CHEESE cards, but all they are REALLY doing is devaluing all the other cards.

In the long run, this will only hurt the entire MyTeam mode...and 2K's bottom line. Very shortsighted and greedy thinking by 2K.

MyTeam has other issues that hurt the mode...

There is a huge issue in MyTeam right now where about HALF of the cards have almost no value. And that's why a lot of people don't buy packs.

The way to fix this is to eliminate the tiers when it comes to roster restrictions and just use Overall Team Rating.

The low-end rated Silvers and Golds are basically worthless. Unless you're a huge FAN of that player, why would anyone play one of these low-rated Silver or Gold cards?

What is the benefit to the player?
