My team moments cards discussion

[Ownal0t]

how do you feel about today and future moment cards.



we got 5 moments todays

Kawhi at a 85 (career high)
Dame at a 84 (39 points)
love at a 82 (23 points, 12 rebounds, 3 steals, 2 assists, 1 ring )
joe johnson at a 79(27 points in 2nd half)
Jonathon simmons 75 (career high, blocked curry, murdered Mcgee lol)

just fine?

I think Damian should at least be a ruby(which isn't outrageous or anything). So those are a bit meh but anything on how much they are(VC per pack or box)?

Re: My team moments cards discussion

Not saying 39 points or 35points deserve diamonds but I'm tired of time giving us trash content just to say they giving us stuff, in all reality this 85 kawhi is a gold from last year, Kevin love shot bad but got a card for what!.

And I just check Kawhi ratings and it's nothing that's much different from his emerald, only stand out is that he have a 83 3pt rating, now they created a card that would cost 50k with very little improvement. The way they gone about releasing cards, ratings and such is the worst I ever seen it, putting out trash to just release 8 versions of one player to milk people out they money.

Are these cards coming out in the league packs?

Re: My team moments cards discussion

I'm liking the ratings a lot on these moments. And overall, I love how card ratings are handled this year.

I don't try to compare this year's cards to last year because everyone is dealing with the same card pool. We aren't playing online against players with last year's cards. The new ratings are keeping the mode interesting and the auction market stable so far.

A flaw I see is that the rewards cards are vastly superior to pullable cards right now. That lowers the value of new content for those who are playing this mode a lot right now. But I see that as a positive compared to last year's rewards and as a sign of good faith towards the non-VC grinders.

Overall, this year has been knocking it out of the park it terms of card ratings. Makes me almost forget about the diamond Scola from 2k16.

Agreed, nerfed rating cards are important to keep competitive balance and to keep the balance of the market in line. If they all of a sudden started tossing out ruby or amethyst players it would completely upend the economy

Re: My team moments cards discussion

totally agree on the nerfs aswell. this whole thing is a building process and it's just perfect the way it is. do you remember all the FBF cards coming out last year but no one would even think of using them because their were WAY better cards already released? that was the perfect example of how not do manage this mode! the cards being released now have value and this is how it should be. Do you think this would be possible, if they'd be throwing 90+ OVR at us right from the beginning?

In addition really good players who beat MTO or BlackTop get rewards which will be better for a longer period. Same counts for collectors who put a lot of effort in this game. How frustrating was it getting that Ewing and in no time he wasn't even comparable to pack releases?!

Well, guess regular players will still complain, but I say:

Thank god they have a new guy running MyTeam!

Re: My team moments cards discussion

They're handling ratings all wrong! I don't have a problem with the overall but can they at least give the ratings relevant to their performance. Kawhi went 0 of 3 from 3 pt range and got a plus 3 to his 3 pt rating. He got 5 steals and but his stl rating was untouched. What's the point of moments card if they aren't going to rate this cards off of their performances.

Re: My team moments cards discussion

It doesn't make much sense that Kawhi has the same open 3 rating as Lillard. I really think the reason there wasn't a ruby here is because these are in the normal boxes and are the cheapest option.

Bingo, but don't worry around his 7th card he would have proper ratings

Re: My team moments cards discussion

I'm happy to see they got the players correct IMO of who should be deserving of a Moments card, with the exception of Love. It should have been LBJ and everyone knows that.

I don't mind them being lower overall, I actually like how the ratings are lower across the board this year. Some of the guys freaking out about it are being irrational IMO and don't understand how this makes more cards usable and gives room for 2K to put out more RELEVANT Moments cards all year long.

However, the actual stat ratings on a lot of these cards are completely wrong and it appears that not much thought was put into it IMO. If these are truly moments cards, they should reflect the performance from that game.

Lillard's shooting stats should be higher, he went 13/20 from the field, that's really great. He also was great on the boards and they left his rebounding untouched.

Jonathan Simmons had an incredible chase down block on the MVP from last year and his block is a 65 and he doesn't have the chase down artist badge, or any badge for that matter.

Kawhi had 5 steals and they don't even touch his steal rating from his emerald card? The only thing they got right on that Kawhi card in terms of ratings were his draw foul rating as he shot 15 FTs and made them all. How he still had a 76 rated FT is confusing to me but oh well.

I like that these came out relatively quick seeing as it just happened last night, but I really wish that more effort was put into the ratings to be much more accurate and indicative of the performance.

My feelings exactly, sad to see and hopefully this is not the trend for future moments cards. Having more accurate ratings would be better for everyone involved and it seems like the only barrier is the work needed to make sure the stats are correct.

Re: My team moments cards discussion

These cards are in the League Pass boxes which are by far the cheapest which makes me suspect that's the reason they didn't make any of these players a ruby. I like that they are only marginal improvements to their current cards, but they were way off in reflecting the actual performance. 15/15 from the line does not merit a 76 free throw, 80 offensive consistency and 60 ball control. Then thy increased Kawhi's 3 ball when he went 0/3?

Re: My team moments cards discussion

Seems they still struggle to make proper moments cards. It's still better than the instant 96 diamond moment cards of last year though.

Re: My team moments cards discussion

Just a note but it looks like Moments Kawhi has Defensive Anchor whereas the Emerald does not. A great and fairly rare personality badge right now.
