I'm kind of pissed you can't bank your picks anymore, not for any tier chicanery, but solely for the fact that it's so much more bearable to clear a deck all at once instead of two at a time. More often than not the prize was in the last four or five cards of the deck anyway.

The worst is when the rare turns out to be a stat boost.

Reading dozens of mind-numbingly boring pages of this thread dedicated to this spreadsheet min/max numbers bullshit makes me thank the heavens I quit playing this non-game a few days into it.

(I waste my time on numerous far worse activities, no hate, just glad I managed to escape this one.)

Also, on the 2K forums they started working on a spreadsheet for the card stats at max level (pro cards listed are if you max the non-pros before combining). I copied it over to my own for better formatting because they were sorting it by name instead of stats.

Also, yesterday I saw a pro SR Del Rio with higher stats than mine, which... doesn't make sense? He had 307 base STR vs the normal 303. Didn't manage to nab a screenshot or anything because I'm always tapping to fast forward.

I just checked the doc that I take these from and it looks like they have everything now (I'm just assuming that someone finally datamined it for the legendaries) so I'll update it later today.

My first epic KOTR went into top 8 at 7 am today. I set my alarm (lol) and managed to do a full stamina restore and burn all my boosts for the first game. Wake up at 9:50 to find that I won the first round but lost 2 and 3 cause he was restoring stamina and using boosts each round.

My first KOTR not making it to the finals, ugh. Only one Epic card. I am a failure.

I've got a maxed Epic Stephanie and unless something weird happened to her stats, that sheet has her CHA wrong. She's 320 323 338 386.

Edit: I guess they fixed it in the other sheet.

The day before the update, I got a UR Nikki, which pushed me into Epic tier and gave me Brie and the KotR I won that night gave me a pair of UR AJs. So I am now flushed with divas.

Oh god there's so many. Some might beat a "proper" (person with 1500 games plus) deck at that tier, but it's amazing to see Epic cards at level zero for a guy who's played less than a hundred matches.

I've been playing this game for like two days but I already know I'm getting a free win whenever someone's champ has that lovely orange glow, or they're in my division with like 40 games played - I'm going to cruise to a very relaxing 2-1 victory.

That's really about the spot where the "paid money, barely played" crowd tends to hover, you'll pretty much be flooded by them until you start getting late into Epic.

It's so hilarious that so many people would drop so much money on this game, especially when they've barely played it.

I've found that challenging the paid players is often more of a gamble than challenging normal players. If those epics are more than like, level 2, they wreck my pro SRs

When playing against an obviously money opponent I pick my worst card first and sacrifice the first loss to then win out. Gameplan screws up a bit if Round 1 is a tag team match though.

Also I think this is my first post in this thread, but needless to say I hate you all for drawing my attention to this game.

EDIT: Also I'm on Team Brock and that's the way to go.

:siren:
Brock: 18,248 wins
Cena: 8,724
:siren:

Worst case scenario by playing is that you get 1 Rare card of your choice. You want to rank in the top 11,000 for an Ultra Rare pair. Get grinding. After one win I'm ranked 12,000th. I bet that changes when everyone wakes up.

When I LOSE a match it goes through just fine. After purposefully losing a game 6 times in a row, 6 times it goes through, win the next 5, 0 of them go through, there's definitely an issue here.

Yeah I am getting my rear end kicked in PC mode.

I play this game so much, I'd actually be tempted to spend money on it if it wasn't just "spend $5 to get lovely cards or spend like $25 to get a guaranteed good one"

I've spent more than I care to admit on Puzzle & Dragons because they price things in a more reasonable way.

One time a guy stole some downhill skis out of my jeep and I was so mad I punched a mailbox. I'm against crime, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.
I'm pretty confident that I'll place a too 100k finish for team Brock. The regular prize cards seem better in this mode. I've only played 7 games but I've already got a rare Diesel and Ultra rare Bella.

did you try playing 1 more game after the 2000th?


I like that the Brock/Cena matches give all the benefits of exhibition modeand it's anecdotal but rares etc seem to come faster, which is a big positive. getting to a relevant reward tier for me is going to require top 2500 and man that's a big ask. +3 point matches seem to be pretty winnable, I gave up on the +5's after losing badly twice.
