lol.... I have been playing myteam for about a month. Have not paid any money or used VC. Other than MT earned in the game I got a few cards from mycareer..... Klay, Wall, Lopez etc.... 5 or 6 all up.
Have only played my way through Domination and Historic Domination.
My current lineup has no diamonds, but an all amethyst starting lineup of Kidd, Harden, Pippen, Pettit, A.Davis.
On the bench I have amethyst Durant & M.Malone.... then gold Dr.J, 'nique, rookie Jordan
And I have an amethyst Iverson being auctioned, to make cash for a big new signing.
It's so easy to upgrade your team, I have bought and sold a few other amethyst cards too.... saving for my first diamond now though.
