Worst personal end to an event

[vince217]

same here, i bought hot streak in the beginning of this RttC to ensure that i got to LBJ with plenty of time to see if i could even do it. turns out, i had more than enough time, and it was nice to relax through the rest of the weekend.

for next RttC, depending on how they nerf the double card points strat from Smartforce, i may or may not buy hot streaks anymore.

I could of done LBJ on +7 but literally decided to drag the event out to the last 15 minutes just so I can get all them draft picks saved up, plus i didn't even play friday night at all and still got it done, I wouldn't even bother spending credits on then boosts, waste of time for me

The difference is that the first people that got it done had cards that sold at a premium. Try selling Garnett or Grainger now. Those sales alone pay for what it takes to complete it as fast as possible....not to mention what you get off putting one of the first Durants up.

True, true. My Garnett sold in a few minutes half trained.

One reason is that if you can get the cards faster they are easier to sell for a good price.

I think that's the main reason. Sold my untrained kd for 7k Friday night. I was pretty shocked that Garnett hasn't sold well though.

I was actually playing on +2 with hot streaks. So yeah... Getting LBJ would have been a huge boost to my deck...

I got the LBJ playing +2 games all the way through. I can't imagine not having HotStreaks, 105 of those games would be almost as bad a grind as RC.

I would have gone slower, but I thought I remembered someone saying you could keep playing after you won it all. WRONG haha. Oh well. I probably did about 2000 credits worth of games nights but with all of the cards I trained and received and sold it easily made up for it. -Snake

Hotstreaks work out miles cheaper man, especially early on.

5 game nights = 100 credits
75 hotstreaks = 600 credits

If running out of time isn't an issue then hot streaks are miles better value for money and they are actually a time saver too (your own time)

For example you buy 5 game nights off the bat and can +7 your way to 70 points (original 5 + 5 game nights) but you had to play 10 games.

5 hotstreaks on the +7 games nets you 70 points in 5 games and cost you 40 credits. That is 60% cheaper than buying game nights and you don't have to play 5 extra games for the same reward so saves on your own time too.

IMO games night should only be used if you think you will run out of time, hotstreaks should ALWAYS be the first choice or you are just burning money. I hotstreaked to Lebron with about 10 hours to spare and all up probably dropped 1500 credits and I was playing +2 on him. You played +5 and dropped 2000
