NBA Returns Promo

[Baileyessr0gs]

These long promos are the worst because you get no change of pace for 3 weeks you can't play SD or even season mode because they don't give anything (unless they changed that with the maintenance earlier today) it's just events and arena

I normally don’t mind grinding Arena - dare I say I even enjoy it - especially when you can triple dip per win with a) promo tokens/points, b) live pass points and c) arena points. But now that I’ve reached the end of the latest arena/live pass stuff, it’s tedious as hell to play a match just for one measily token.

I hate playing arena at all it's just not an enjoyable mode to me shooting is like a carnival game where you don't release when it should be time to release because the meter is delayed then you get to abilities where they don't trigger like they should... I just can't find any enjoyment in it

Arena sucks heaviliy, but in theory it is the best show of your true skills and strenght

Well, if that theory doesn't hold water........so what? EA introduced this very broken mode of gameplay after they killed what was once a fun mode (SD). There's currently no way to show your true skills in this game on a consistent basis

In theory, but not in practice, that's the problem. Actually, even in theory it does not seem to be a feasible thing to implement. Suppose that someone lacks substantial skills in this game, let alone is a newcomer. He goes to Arena and gets beaten up in 10 matches in a row. What's his next step? He'd say: "EA, thanks, that was fun, fuk you". He and his potential money are lost for EA. Not a desirable outcome, isn't it?

So, you have to figure out how to let him win some matches. And it's really simple. Everybody knows there's a nerf sometime. Everybody knows that sometimes your shots just don't go in no matter what you do. But many people think that in this situations you are bound to lose because EA "wants" you to lose. That's not the case. Ea doesn't want you to lose. EA just wants your opponent to win.

Yeah it has been a disaster that they introduced into the game at the cost of other modes... it's like when EA put Ultimate Team in their games at the expense of other modes in all of their sports games

Damn, what a scam preview that you COULD get the 108, but it costs 4`000 cash I don't think it is worth it for a short PG. If it was Duncan, then maybe.

That's a 20 mil pack right there. I would've snapped it up.

View attachment 4824 what kind of jerseys are we given here before I waste my stamina here. Anyone who knows tell us.

They're all +2 Royal jerseys. Some of them are dope looking but the boost is beyond weak.....

Actually, I had a change of heart just before going to sleep, and I pulled the trigger. After taxes, got around 17.9mil, so I was quite happy about it. Since EA was recently rather generous with their free cash, I thought that it's not a bad deal.

Nice work on that one

FYI - word is that you need a 106 promo lineup to unlock the 108 Master

One thing i can not understand; it says promo is for 2weeks and 5 days, okay, but campaign inside is last for 5 days and several hours, from where then will be aquired tokens for 102, 104, 106 etc???
I calculated, average 42 tokens per day i made (withouth buying extras, but yes ads), it and for reaching 107 player you need 325 tokens if i calculate good, so that means i should somehow get at least 60 tokens per day to catch 107 player in 5 days.
Also which arena level is giving you tokens for this promo, and how much?
Okay i can spend 5milion coins (if i have em) and do it, but i do not have it..
For now i m just spending all my stamina on 50stamina first event to grind one token, and focusing only on western, but it seems i need to have both of them??

This is way worse then I thought these are horrible they given 1/5 the amount that current royal jerseys give

Probably can't even use them in the Super sets either

You need 400 tokens because you need 2 102s and 2 104s wish makes 150 then you need 150 for the 106 and another 100 for the 107

You can play whatever events you want the tokens are all the same

Actually you'll get a free 102 & a 104 from the XP you accumulate so you that'll save you some tokens

Yeah i disregarded that because it's only given once so after that if you want another 107 you have to do the 400 tokens since they don't give out a 106 after the free 102 and 104 early in the promo
