    And it seems like many people are going with that "all or nothing" strategy. Putting 2 or 3 cards above the tier they're in,1 card that's in their tier, and then 2 common cards. So basically, if you can beat the 1 card that's in your tier, you can easily beat them since the 2 common cards are automatic wins and the 2 above your tier cards are automatic losses.

    Safe to say, I'm like the only person in this entire game who doesn't have an ultra rare spurs card lol

    Depending how often people win,and how much they value their W-L record, I'd say +5 is probably the best option in this. Lets say for every 100 games, you go 90-10 on +3 and 55-45 on +5. Do the math, +5 would get you more points, even though you win over 30 more games on +3.
    Actually if you got 55 - 45 in +5 games, odds are you'll go 99-1 in +3 games. Not to mention you forgot +3 games in 4Q are faster than +5 games in OT. If you can't win 70% of +5 games, its probably better to go +3. You'll get more games in the same time span so its really ~120 games vs 100 games.

      I'm a long time lurker on this site. I've been working hard in this RC. I was at about 350, 45 minutes ago when I went to cook dinner. As I put the dessert in the oven, I couldn't get in to RC. Is anyone else having this trouble?

            OT is like 10 seconds extra...not really that much of a difference.

              10s adds like 15-20% of game time per game. It doesn't seem like much but it adds up. If you're only winning 50% of your +5 games (or say just over 50%), time yourself for 1 hour, see how many points you get and repeat doing +3. You might see surprising results.

              I'm speaking from experience last year when i was playing 2 accounts at once. My second account was doing +3 and still got into the top 50 (main was top 10 for the same RC, of course the score difference between the 2 accounts were huge despite the limited position change... mostly becausei played my main only when at work and paid a bit more attention to it). I did +3 mostly because my 2nd account had no way of winning +5 (limit card selection, the account was less than a week old and was a sub account so not many games played) but i was able to do ~300-350pt/hr doing +3s (would be higher if i wasn't trying to multi-task 2 tablets at once). Of course 2k14 also had more HS so in retrospect, those numbers would be lower in 2k15.

                Hi all!

                I'm new in this game ( I didn't play mynba2k14 ). I'm currently in UR+, and i would like to know if in Rivals Clash mode you can draft the same cards ( talking about players, not HS or other cards ). I'm askin git because in the RC mode I have'nt been able to pull any SR or UR, only rares and boosts...

                Is this normal?

                Thanks!

                  The same thing has happened to me. Not a single SR despite many hours of play in the UR+ tier.

                  As with last year I kind of wish they would give you the cards of the team you play as, not just the one that wins.

                  I'm devastated to think that Zephyr isn't going to get his SR Tony Wroten...

                      Hey everyone,

                      I'm a new player as well. Do you guys think it's worth going for 1x Epic Paul Pierce (Rank 2701-4000) at all? You get UR Havlicek dupes from 4001 to 15000, wouldn't an UR Havlicek Pro outperform PP? Not sure if it's worth the effort for someone who won't pay for any packs. I'm SR2 by the way, so having 2 URs would probably be more valuable at the moment than 1 Epic, even if it takes time to get the URs to full level and pro. Cheers!

                        I have basically the same question, except I am in UR+ and wondering if I should hold back and get the UR dupes over the Epic. But in your case, I would probably go for the UR's as they will really boost your deck in SR and UR tiers.

                            After 31hours of rivals clash edition 1, the leader has over
                            7000 points. Having into account that every win gives you 5 points, he has needed over 1400 games. Iyou have to use at least 45 seconds for every game, so he has needed over 17.5 hours not counting the loses

                                So is it better to go for the epic or the UR pro?

                                And does anyone know the current points for 2700?
