Next part of the Winter promo

Why wouldn't someone want ability cards lol They're usually my favorite cards in the game. I used Clutch Simmons last year until the golden ticket Penny came out.

we can't see the results of nbalivegg polls anymore, but this one was pretty balanced between lovers and haters of abilities

https://www.nbalive.gg/forums/nba-live-mobile/nba-live-mobile-discussion/70344-how-do-you-feel-about-the-return-of-abilities?page=2

and yeah, I'm one of those that is not a fan

 

[Anatdoc]

Not a fan of abilites too.. especially not too many players in a team having it..
And pgs should NEVER have buzzer beater.
Dont mind legacy players like westbrook or harden having it or even store pack player here and there.. but if its just clutch after clutch game gets boring like end of season 1 ...
.

 

[nico36500]

yea idk about the new abilities thing. cards were boring after awhile last year after seeing ben simmons everywhere

 

[Gareth64]

Do we think they're gonna be grindable or store packs only. If grindable, how? Like fire and ice last year?

 

[jeforious]

At one point LAST SEASON! where you dont even need to shoot a regular shot. You could have 3 clutch players and 2 in the paint ONE line up. To makes things worst you can squeeze in 2 Clutch shots per player in ONE SINGLE DRIVE.

Your 2 minutes drive looks like this:
Regular shot
Clutch
Clutch
Clutch
Clutch
Int he Paint
Clutch
In The Paint/ Buzzer. it becomes a Skill for timing instead of gameplay.

HOW is that even Fun? your just using Guaranteed Abilities the entire quarter and AI is doing the same. Abilities VS Abilities!
If thats ur definition of Fun then i dunno. lol personally id rather have ZERO abilities... at most maybe JUST ONE!

 

[dub365]

They should just save abilities for a couple special players per season. Keep it simple, don't over do it. Otherwise is just cheese-fest

 

[Commondjapan]

Brian mentioned that abilities were coming soon so I assume that global will have them too. A while back he mentioned that the clutch ability wouldn?t be a guaranteed make like it was in the past (mostly} and that lowering the percentage of the shot would enable them to add the feature to a greater number of cards. That may have changed, however.

 

[Stewie309]

I personally don't care for abilities that much but if I have I will use them I think the only card right now that should have one is Master Embiid which unfortunately is still an 82

 

[Stewie309]

Do we think they're gonna be grindable or store packs only. If grindable, how? Like fire and ice last year?

They are likely pack and potentially present only maybe the 88+ set has a chance at one

 

[aramwot]

Fingers crossed for an AI with clutch...

Brian mentioned that abilities were coming soon so I assume that global will have them do. A while back he mentioned that the clutch ability wouldn?t be a guaranteed make like it was in the past (mostly} and that lowering the percentage of the shot would enable them to add the feature to a greater number of cards. That may have changed, however.

Yeah I do remember that but based on pics of Kemba and now AI it looks like the ghosts aren't auctionable maybe that's a measure to keep people from being able to build full ability lineups like it's nothing

 

[Jonnybronbron]

I don?t mind defending clutch, at least I know I can actually block it, and curry won?t run over my. Utombo and dunk in his face. At least I know I do have a chance of b,ocking the clutch, although the loose ball will get picked up by ai 98% of the time hahahahahaha

The Fireworks stuff is for New Year's and the Past, Present, and Future filter is for the Ghost cards while the OOP is for Out of Position cards that are coming I've merged the thread as it's part of the next step of the Winter promo as described in the thread I merged it with

 

[Raaaa]

Only 2.5% that you can get the ability AI from the pack.
Honestly, I don?t wanna waste my nba cash. :cry:

 

[JukeNukem1432]

^^^As expected. They know people will drop tons of cash trying so why not make the chance of pulling one 2.5%. Less chance = more cash. Also is that a new currency? Lol so whatever rep or coins we saved can't be used? That's a ***** move by EA!

 

[Gareth64]

Unauctionable too?

No that's that currency that China uses instead of cash a lot of games from China like to use diamonds as paid currency
