Re: Blog: Seasons in MyNBA2K16

When you talk about running into a tough line with plenty of defense, does this mean we will actually be able to see our opponents' lineups? Stats and all?

In this year's app we can only see the 8 cards played against us and then have to go to AH to see those stats. And have no idea if they are enhanced. Or if they're not fully trained. Ability fired? Not to mention that you were boosting offense to combat that strong defense, but you draw non-offensive the entire game. Too much of a crap shoot this year. That's why this year either you boost all categories or none.

Now with the new Stat Charging system, it makes it even more forgiving for being away from your Seasons for a number of games since you can charge up for several games vs. just one at a time. Energy will still drain, so you'll want to return frequently if you want max energy, but if you're fine without it then you'll get the stat boosts for a playoff series without checking back.

The games at 30 minutes are fine, just the in between that sucks. Well at least you tried

When does '16 drop anyway??

But if it's like this year, you still can't get a good night's sleep unless you draw bots for two consecutive rounds. If you draw a human while sleeping, boosting isn't going to matter because the other guy is going to boost and be fully energized every game.

I understand what you mean regarding the 15 minutes games, but there has to be a way to get the Playoffs in consistently in 12-14 hours. Go best of 5 or something.

Hey! Had to crack out ye' olde spreadsheet to talk about rewards. It all depends on what tier you're in. For example, if you take the championship in Super Rare, you'll win 1 UR player card and a good chunk of RP. This is, of course, still being play tested so the reward structure that I just mentioned might be revised come game time.

The game will take your best DEF players and choose between them. There will still be some times when the lesser-awesome card will be drawn, but like the real NBA, sometimes a team has an off night. There can't be an upset if the best card is always drawn.

Any answer regarding to the end of seasons? Any way to collect rewards immediately after the series is over instead of waiting 30 minutes after your last game, or heaven forbid..the end of a 7 game bot series somewhere else in the bracket? This is a big frustration for many season players.

Similar to the current rewards with runner-up and semis getting a SR with smaller chunk of RP? And QF getting just an SR (no RP)?

I guess my follow-up to that is assuming Legendary is the top tier to start, will the winner in that tier just get one Lendendary card and a chunk of RP?

Let's stick with SR for the example for now, as we're still testing and developing (and all this might change). Runner-up in Super Rare an SR card and RP. If you made it into the third or fourth round you'd still receive an SR card and RP. It scales down, of course, the lower you place*.

*This is all subject to change, as we test.
