Monthly Master Ray Allen

[Hroswith]

I haven't seen a thread about this one yet. What do you guys think about this monthly master?

For me, it's one of the very few bright spots of season 4 so far. The challenges are fun to play, and a 86OVR player with team boost AND ability seems like a great addition to any team for now, both F2P and P2W. And with some grinding, even F2P players can get the full master, it seems.

Would’ve been nice if he wasn’t in the same position as a Superstar...but the 84 version is easy to get and the 85 is possible with minimal spend. I forget how many extra tokens you get with the pass but seems the 86 is within reach for under 2k nba cash.

 

[Hroswith]

Since there is pretty much no way to get Superstar shards without spending money, I've already given up on the superstars. They seem aimed at paid players. There's no way to grind them.

 

[betaman411]

Well, to be fair I think the jury is still out. Shards were grindable in first promo. Remains to be seen if they’ll be grindable in future promos. For now, I’d stock up on star power while it lasts.

You can earn 9 Tokens a day, which would mean 252 more tokens now. That'll get you within reach of the 85 master.

Free or spending NBA cash?

Free or spending NBA cash?

Free you get 5 from the events and 4 from daily objectives

^^^ what this guy said

9x30 is 270 that won't be enough to get to end but it will get a nice upgrade

 

[Hroswith]

You need 300 to get the 85 Master. One weekly pass for 700 NBA cash will get you there.

Is the 7 day court pass the same as before? Was it about 3 per day + 10 initially?

Spending any money is not an option for me.

 

[Hroswith]

Spending any money is not an option for me.

Neither is it for me. You get 500 NBA cash when you reach level 40. I haven't spent a cent yet and don't intend to as long as EA keeps fumbling through bug after bug.

 

[lebronmasked]

Does anyone having the same problem as me that I could not find my ray Allen 71 overall card after collecting it?

 

[Hroswith]

For anyone wondering: A weekly pass of 700 NBA Cash gets you 10 elite tokens upfront and 70 gold tokens a day (50 from daily goals and 20 + 200 stamina daily).

So 700 NBA Cash gets you 34.5 elite tokens for your monthly master.

If my math is correct then, you now need 3 passes to complete the MM. Seemed like only 2 was necessary in s3? And even then you could squeeze it out with one pass and the 2 for 1 packs at the end of the month.

 

[PoloCoach616]

Wait, don't you need 4 passes?

The MM needs a total of 400 elite tokens (5+10+20+35+50+80+100+100). Without any passes, you can get 9 elite tokens per day, so 270 for the month.

That leaves 130 more elite tokens needed. With the 7-day pass, you get 10 elite tokens upfront and can convert the extra 70 gold tokens into 3.5 elite tokes per day (which is 24.5 elite tokens per week). the 10 and 24.5 add up to 34.5 elite tokens per week.

Three weeks of 34.5 would be 103.5, which means you'd still need another 26.5 elite tokens, right?

Anyone want to check the math here? (My calculations could be wrong or there's something I'm missing...)

 

[Hroswith]

You're right, you need four passes

 

[betaman411]

If the bogo pack is available at the end it will be slightly cheaper than a 4th pass but no stamina so...

with Luka, I think I’ll settle for the non-clutch version as a bench player.

 

[Hroswith]

Yeah that's what I'm going to do. I'm right on schedule to get the 85 Master, which will make a good bench player with his 3-point boost.
