TIP OFF PROMO EARLY PREVIEW

[Silvercaveman]

Buck already said he'd do it on his main account. It's not just the coins. You need to grind out the silver players as well. It helps if you've pulled base elites since the launch but I've pulled 0. They did give us free elites though so we'll be able to get at least one Hero.

Really? no elite pull from more than 50 pro packs?

I haven't pulled a single elite yet from at least that many packs. Struggling to recall anything higher than 76.

Same here, I think I opened around 40-50 pro packs so far and pulled nothing above 74 golds. Is there any special technique for opening packs? I read here someone pulled more than 10 elites just from lvl packs.
I also have problem with next gen gold tokens, on average less than 10% of tokens are gold, but again I read here that people even pulled elite tokens!

 

[Commondjapan]

I?ve opened 120+ over two accounts and pulled 0 elites. I?ve had the occasional 77 OVR but that?s it.

Man i feel kinda lucky, think i've pulled 3 elites from pro packs, one of which was an LVL league win reward. I've opened maybe 30 pro packs total.

So, you buy the rep pack and it just disappears??? No indication of when it will come back??? That rep pack must be related to my father...

 

[dub365]

I'm hoping they give us a rep pack every day, otherwise that's just damn stupid. Make rep useful!

the rep pack said 0/1 before we could grab it. so i doubt it's coming back. it should be limited to that 'single-purchase'.

I also hope they bring it back tho. Seems pretty limited to give us only 1 rep pack in the whole promo.

 

[vagabond1231]

Does anyone else's original line up resets/changes to "best line up"?

I saw the pack and just gobbled it up, didn't even notice a 0/1. I agree, definitely appears it's gone for now, or maybe for the day, perhaps (of course a timer would have been nice if that were the case). I see a few people asking Brian for more ways to acquire tokens and also to increase the rep pack cap. Who knows what will happen.

 

[jack_george]

Yes. Best way to get around this is once you claim a pack, go to the actual tip off line up and press best team, instead of update team at the pack opening.

 

[vagabond1231]

But usually "best team" is not really the best team.. I find that incredibly annoying.

Thank you for your help!

 

[jeforious]

I just started LVL it looks like Tip off line up is not included in the League tournaments can anyone confirm this? Also will tip off lineup require a seperate players similar to season 2?

 

[bigballer607]

Good think is you "only" need 3 Heroes to get Wilt. I think it was 4 before.

 

[jack_george]

Obviously still too early to know for sure, but looks like Brian euro-stepped right past all the folks clamoring for a way to grind those tokens/looking for more rep packs. I only say this because he usually has a reply like "I will see what I can do" lolllll.

I've purchased more than I'd wished to, myself, lol. Was really looking forward to the rep packs though.

My non elite exchange account has a higher OVR than my elite exchange account. And I pulled duplicate elites on that account. Of course I?m locked out of some stuff on the first account but there isn?t a huge advantage to doing the exchange.

I've got one elite from doing the exchange. I also had to buy like 3 sets of tokens to turn silvers into golds and I'm at a 75 with a single elite and about 7 golds for the elite set. Basically I've done all the events once that I've been able to unlock as well as the blitz sets and the legacy head start. I haven't bought any players in the AH yet so what exactly is the criteria you are using to make the statement that the elite exchange isn't a huge advantage? I agree it's not "huge" but it's definitely a big benefit to get your OVR to 80 sooner rather than later. 83 is still going to be very difficult in my opinion - even with several lucky pulls.

It's gonna be TOUGHHH to get to 83, well as f2p, of course. Getting 2 85 heroes along with a 5 matched elite coach would obviously increase the chances. Only thing is these coaches only boost 5 instead of 7 like normal, and I think the preview actually had a boost of 8!

It seems that most tipoff coaches can boost up to +8 except Quin Snyder. I hope that was a mistake and will get fixed.
Hopefully Stewie can forward this to EA.

wow. I pulled Snyder so naturally I just assumed all the others had the same boosts.

It wasn?t an advantage for me because I am a 73 OVR on one account with two Ricky Rubios and a 74 OVR on the other. The elite coach helped unlock the hard West blitz event and I?m one more elite exchange away from getting a hero but I?m not that far ahead of my main account. I wouldn?t snipe an elite just to do the exchange personally. Just buy a cheap coach.
