Next Gen & Elevate programs
- Thread starter Commondjapan
- Start date
Then they should have not put those set at all. Not sure if someone who did the set had really use of the exchange they get from these sets. Did they put them there for us to complete the daily objective? Well, this is a free program so not complaining as well but just hoping. This is some of the situations where ea is really hard to understand.

What needs to happen is Brian (or anyone, but he's the most visible person associated with EA staff) needs to just come out and tell us a date for when the program will end, and let players know whether it's worth it to try for the current players if they had to start mid program. There's definitely many ways they can go with the transition. They could keep the current sets and add new sets, and keep the current events and add new events along with the old ones to simply give people that started late a chance. Or they could end the sets and events for the current players on a set date. Either way, I think it's fair to let the players know. So far, all I remember seeing was a tweet saying 4-6 weeks.

guys, are you forgetting that we are now GETTING A GIFT of information!!
the last 2 seasons we have almost gotten squat from EA
promos used to end early, and be extended, what COULD have been, wasnt always teh case with timelines
you can (most likely) get a FREE 84 player, stop making this an issue

Lol.....I'm just trying to make it better for people that weren't here at the start of next gen...trying to help the fellow man, kind of thing lol. Least they could do is say "hey you, yeah, don't grind that program since you won't have enough time to even collect the elites" but, keep it the way it is, it's perfectly fine lol. No improvements could possibly be made whatsoever

Do you guys think the Elevate pack being gone from the store is an indication that they're switching player's soon? Did they maybe just remove it early on accident? Seems weird to do it on purpose because some people will probably rather jump for the pack to make sure Russ gets to 85 if they don't get Isaiah, Simmons or CP3 (all of which require a decent amount of grinding (hello Isaiah) or luck with rerolls (especially for CP3 but it's definitely doable).
Well it was advertised as getting your cards up 8 levels but only gave enough to get from level 1 to level 9 and level 1 with that pack was the only way it could give you an 8 level boost so it was supposed to be a starter pack so I don't think it's any indicator of them bringing out new cards very soon I think it will still be a couple weeks before that happens

Oh ok. I mainly meant the pack that had 1 elite token with a few golds, though. That's the one that I think could help if you want to put stamina on the promo overlap. I'm like 1500 from Russell being at 85 but with the constant duplicates of Blake who was at 85 while Russell was at 3900 it's looking kind of close depending on when they switch.
Ah ok well the cards only came out the 2nd so they will definitely last until the end of the month at the least so you'll be fine

Finally got Westbrook and Griffin maxed on one account. Had a nice little run of Westbrook tokens to finish things off. 85 Westbrook is a beast, Much better for me than 84 Simmons.

I was picking 84 Westbrook over 84 simmons strictly for offensive purposes. Simmons does have some nice defensive stats that would probably be annoying to go against.

I'll probably play the first wins,
xp ratio is better than promo events, And maybe the collectibles have some use in future cards.

Had someone in league that would have had Giannis with the next 2am-6am token but said he missed last Sunday's late Giannis elite so now he can't get Giannis until Friday lol. What a difference missing that one token. Said he'd be at 85 with Giannis on his bench. . Just a 5 day wait for Giannis, he will survive, I hope lol

Worth it for the XP alone sometimes. I guess it's common for promos to give much less XP?? I feel like previous promos it was 100/10 stamina, but maybe I'm remembering incorrectly. I felt like maybe it was a Blitz specific thing where it's much less XP but Harden blitz gives 200 so idk.

What?s the rest of your team look like? I?ve had 85 RB for over a week and he can?t get off my bench! I find 80 base Curry to be much better offensively and just as good defensively. And for whatever reason, my AI gets destroyed with RB starting.
My current lineup:
Ya even I noted the lesser stamina in the promo events.. especially the 40 stamina tip off event has only 150 xp.. (ironically I find the 40 stamina ones easier than the 20 stamina ones)
@beta I found Westbrook easy to steal from but his manual gameplay is pretty nice.. still prefer 84 Simmons as he is much better at stealing and compared to the 80 is more reliable from 3.. what's ur early review of klay?
I stopped Blake and Westbrook at 84 as I got Isaiah and Ben..
