Halftime Report asks you to pick the winners!

[Leftos]

Let the halftime report get past the section where it shows you the upcoming games, and a surprise will await you. Something that I didn't see advertised anywhere, for the first time today the game asked me to predict the winners of today's real NBA matchups.

Granted, at first I thought it was bugged, because I was in my Association and long past October 31st, but then DukeW74 mentioned that today IS October 31st, and those are the actual NBA matchups.

Don't know how the game will respond tomorrow after the games are done, but it definitely got me curious, especially since this was a little gem out of the blue, an unannounced feature.

My choices are in! Let's see what happens!

Is it bugged since two of the three games had already played when it asked me?

I saw this as well. I was kind of wondering what's going to become of my selections.

Have any of you noticed that the halftime announcer when he announcers the winners of the games he's wrong. He said the wizards beats the cavs and the celtics beat the heat.

It looks like you can earn VC through your picks, but I don't know what it takes. I correctly selected two of the three winners last night and received 0 VC, so one may assume we must select every winner. But if that's the case, it seems like it'd be an awfully tough get on nights where 12 games are taking place.

On a side note why are there no scores of games during halftime? Just upcoming games? Makes no sense.

Re: Halftime Report asks you to pick the winners!

yeah i got it during my career already Knew 2 of the results and picked the lakers but the mavs won :wink:.

Never seem to get scores of other games at half time during association and wish we got those score updates while taking FT in NBA Today games.

I saw it too. I wonder if you get something for guessing them correctly like extra VC or if it really just doesn't matter.

Pick and win?

I just noticed after the Sprint halftime show you get to choose who you think will win certain games? What does this do?

Re: Pick and win?

I'm guessing if you get all the games correct you'll get 10 VC or so. I got it last night(MyPlayer) and today(Association).

At half time of my game today, it showed the selections I made yesterday and there was a VC icon with a 0 next to it on the same screen. So, I'd assume if I were to have made a correct prediction of each game, I likely would have received VC.

Re: Halftime Report asks you to pick the winners!

All I know is that it makes it a lot harder to do Chris Smoove's Coach Mode method of getting VC....I started a game and 2 hours later I turn on the TV expecting the game to be over but instead it's halftime and it's telling me to guess the winners of tonight's game.

Is this the reason why they put that into the game? Or is it an unintentional "side effect"?

Wow, that's about 1/50th of the amount required to buy a wristband in this game!

Pretty smart move by them if they added it late intentionally. It only pops up for one game a day as far as I know, so maybe play a one minute quarter quick game to get it out of the way.

Here is what Ronnie2k said on twitter. Looks like it gets you VC.
