We took a look at every screen, every flow, every pop-up message, every use-case and condition and began to build what we called our road map. The road map is a beastly flow chart that attempts to visualize in one space every possible flow through 6 gameplay modes, pack and box sales, team creation, duplicates, lineup management, card collections, and our auction house. Imagine dumping a bin of Legos into a vat of spaghetti and you’re pretty close to what I’m talking about. Looking at what we had mapped out, I began to seriously question just what I had gotten myself into. Big shoes to fill indeed. In the Moment This year we knew that we wanted the game to be totally keyed into what was going to happen in next year’s NBA season. Last year, when Steph won MVP for a second time, when Kobe put up 60 in his final game, when LeBron and Kyrie dropped 40 each in the finals 2K16 MyTEAM had a moment’s card out within the next few days. It was a cool feature and something that the community went nuts over but as I was quickly learning Visual Concepts is not the type of company to leave well enough alone. We knew we could do even better. One of the first things I was asked to do was to oversee the project to completely overhaul our backend system and processes for releasing new card content. In addition we built new systems that allow us to release new “Moments” challenges as things were happening around the NBA. This year when “it” happens you will not only be able to pull the card out of packs immediately, you’ll be able to jump into MyTEAM and live the moment for yourself. Spectacular moments aren’t anything new though. As long as there has been basketball there have been buzzer beaters, amazing shots, and spectacular plays. We wanted to reach back through history and feel that connection between current players and the NBA legends whose shoes they are trying to fill themselves. With that in mind, we made the decision to move away from specific years in our historic players’ careers and focus instead on Moments. Some Moments might be as brief as a single game, while others may reflect several years or even an era in the player’s career. This year we took the concepts of Moments cards and Dynamic Ratings cards and merged them into one. We will be adding new Moments cards more frequently as well as expanding the definition of what constitutes a moment. It could be a player hitting a career high, a rookie having a breakout performance, or a rare occurrences where a player does something unbelievable. As the season progresses, upgraded Moments versions of players will start to appear in our packs. That means that any current player’s ratings can grow throughout the season based on their performance next year, so the sky is the limit and no more negative ratings updates on players. This also allows us to not hit a “ceiling” early when it comes to certain players, with steady progression throughout the year. Historic NBA player’s ratings are now based on Moments in their career. Sometimes these will be a specific season, but they can reflect an entire era or a specific game. This means that we can pick and choose better versions of historic players. We’ve eliminated all Silver and Bronze level historic players, so every historic player is Gold or above. This year, card levels will range from Bronze level rookies and bench players trying to break out to Pink Diamond performances engraved in NBA history. In all, we have 9 levels of cards--Bronze, Silver, Gold, Emerald, Sapphire, Ruby, Amethyst, Diamond, and Pink Diamond. Tier colors are directly tied to player OVR ratings. Dynamic Duos The Holy Grail around here has been to try to find a way to reflect the magic that some players had when playing together. Those of us old enough can remember Stockton and Malone destroying defenses with their pick and roll game. Both players were great in their own right, but were amazing when they shared the court. Some of you young guns might think of Klay and Steph or KD and Westbrook.
