WWE SuperCard!

[Baby Shoes]

I can't catch a damn break in these King of the Rings. Just finished 2nd. 39-6.

Game 1 just ended and I lost due to which categories the AI pulled. My team is Legendary Cena/Rock and they picked speed, which somehow the other guy's Bruno/Hogan duo beat.

I won the Diva match with my Survivor Tamina over his Survivor Cameron.

Then they for some reason drew my single Reigns Survivor over the RTG Sting pro. He had a Survivor pro Dusty Rhodes and beat me.

So right now, despite smoking this guy and most others the whole tournament, I am going to getting bumped in the first round by AI pulling my weakest stuff...

 

[Baby Shoes]

Not that anyone but me probably cares but I made it out of Round One and now am heading to the Finals for the first time in the Survivor tier. I'm happy to just get another Survivor. I'd love to win and get two, as I don't need the Legendary support for second place but it will be used to boost my level on one of my cards.

Guessing I will get slaughtered in the Finals based on my opponent's deck. His record is 48-1. I was the one who beat him last night. He steamrolled the tournament with RTG Pro Sting, RTG Pro Reigns and a tag team of Survivor Pro Rude and Legendary Pro Mysterio. Last round he rest those guys and slaughtered his opponent. His deck was Survivor Pro Mysterio, Survivor Pro Batista and tag of Legendary Pro Bruno/Cena.

Now, I know last night I beat him with my Diva. I don't remember his diva but I had boosts on and he did not. Pretty sure it was a Survivor Pro though...

My only hope is if I get luck of the draw with boosts on Sting vs Sting or they pull my Sting in a category where he beats Reigns and I get the Diva match up again.

In other news, trying to get some Energy cards, I finally pulled another Survivor from my deck. It is a DiBiase, who I had, so I can make my first non-RTG, non-diva pro. He is one of the weakest but the next KOTR I enter, I should have Pro RTG Sting and Reigns with Pro DiBiase and Tamina, hopefully help me continue to build my deck.

 

[Baby Shoes]

Got curb-stomped as expected in the Finals. Time to wait out my rewards.

Don't know if anyone has checked out the 2K Forums for this game but that community is ridiculous.

Check out this guy, questioning if his deck is strong enough for the Barrett Road to Glory:

14 male Survivor pros and 3 divas. He is contemplating scrambling to put together a Sheamus Survivor pro, seeing he has two he hasn't been able to power up...

 

[fazzle]

The official forums for this game are absolutely fucking retarded. People who think it's completely natural to drop hundreds of dollars to get one card. Buncha fucking looneys. I made it to the finals of a Leg KOTR and could have won, but it selected stats that helped his cards instead of mine. Got a Legendary Kane for my reward card, which now gives me 4 Legendary Pros, after I had 0 like a week and a half ago.

 

[Baby Shoes]

Nice to have the sudden burst. I got a Kane not too long ago and although his stats are lower, the card did surprisingly solid for me when I needed to run him with my team. A team of four should hopefully push you for some better cards. I had a few before but in the last RTG, as I mentioned, picked up Cena and Batista pairs to make pros. Helped me finish that one out.

Just drew my reward for getting to the finals - Damien Mizdow and a Legendary taunt. Fed the taunt to my now Pro'd Roman Reigns from RTG. Have to build up him and my new Survivor Pro DiBiase.

Just jumped into another KOTR with my Top 10 lineup -

SP DiBiase/LP Big Show
RTGP Sting
RTGP Roman
SP Tamina

bench - LP Cena/LP Rock/LP Rock/LP Undertkaer/LP Brie

I've now updated my exhibition deck to be basically my KOTR starters, with the exception of putting one of the Rocks in instead of Big Show because it is a better card and likely the one that doesn't get played.

My RTG lineup, barring any surprise pulls before Thursday should be:

RTGP: Sting/Reigns
SP: DiBiase
LP: Rock/Rock/Cena/Undertaker/Big Show/Batista/Kane
Single Survivor: Flair/Surfer Sting/Yokozuna/Classic Y2J/Batista/Piper

with divas of SP Tamina, LP Brie, LP Nattie and Single Legend AJ

Still early on in the Survivor + tier. Guessing even if I train Mizdow, he'll be weaker than my weakest current (Piper). After training Roman and DiBiase, I am working on finishing up my single L Hogan, hoping I can get the pro from this RTG.

 

[fazzle]

My current RTG lineup:

LP King Bookah and Kane(currently level 7)
S Sting
EP Cena, Taker, Rowan and Del Rio
L Warrior, Cena, Austin, Ambrose, HHH, Edge, Batista, Miz and Ryback

Divas:

LP Nattie and Cameron (level 0)
EP Brie and Steph


Legendary Lana and Legendary Ladder as my supports. I got a complete garbage freebie when I hit Survivor tier with a Briefcase support. Sure, the Briefcase CAN technically have a bigger boost than the Legendary Ladder, but there's plenty of times in a RTG match when I don't even have one Speed + Toughness match, let alone in a regular matchup.

 

[Baby Shoes]

Yeah, the only support cards I mess with are the managers, seeing they can be used on the whole deck.

I got pissed when I hit Survivor and my freebie was Heenan but it has been a useful card (+28 to speed and toughness on deck). Early on, before I was getting any survivor cards and didn't have a strong deck, I also pulled a Survivor stop sign, which bothered me and I fed to an Epic Cesaro I had just pro'd.

Down the line I got a Legendary Heyman (+21 Power/Charisma). Seeing all of those have my bases covered, those will be what I run with, unless I get another Survivor manager that trumps the Heyman.

I am jealous of that Booker though. One of my favorite cards in the game and I haven't even pulled a single yet.

 

[BlackFlagg]

Well this RTG started out nicely for me, did last match for the common tier card and get to my board pulls and pull a L Natalya to pair with the one from last RTG which will make my first L Pro diva

 

[Baby Shoes]

Actually won my first KOTR on Survivor last night.

Was shocked I finished the 1st seed and figured I would get bumped. Also, it ran late into the night and I had to go to sleep but I woke up to see victory.

My prizes were the Authority HHH and RVD. So I have a few Survivors in my catalog to power up now, hopefully get a pair on one of these soon.

Been running through RtG with some credit I had in my account. I am about 30 points into the first BnB right now. Getting tricky, had to jump down to the easiest matches. They ramped up the difficulty again. Had this one opponent, Elsa (Stardust SV avatar) that I beat for +5 early in the Fandango tier. About 30 points later, that person was a +1, which made sense because +3 really only seemed viable for about seven or eight matches before I was down to +1.

Haven't had a great deck pull since DiBiase SV (to make my pro) a few night ago. I have gotten two Legendary pulls in the past two days but they have both been Taunts, which I threw into powering a card up when I won one in my last KOTR.

 

[fazzle]

Just pulled a Legendary HHH from the board, giving myself another LPro as soon as I level him up. Starting to build a nice collection.

 

[Baby Shoes]

Claimed the second BnB last night before bed. I have the first one maxed right now and the speed is AWFUL. All of his stats are ~1700 but his speed is like 1200. Working on maxing the second one at getting the 0/50 pro before starting next KOTR so I don't have to wait two more days to pro him. About half way through maxing the second.

My last KOTR, I had another solid run. I actually went 43-2 in the tournament. The two losses were both to the top seed, who I beat once. Problem was, the torunament started at 3 AM here west coast. I went out last night, so I had my lineup set before first round but I got paired in the second round against the 3 seed who was up boosting and dumped me. Still helped me pull a single survivor and it was Edge.

Didn't really pull any new Legendary or Survivor in RTG. The only Leg pulls were supports. I've been pulling Epic supports too, outside one Triple H but Epics aren't really helping me outside of card catalog now.

I did discover even being at 190/190, the match count is still couting me using the RTG to play, so I am using it to pull 6 cards a game and bulk up my BnB faster.

 

[Baby Shoes]

Not sure if it was complaint based or an error originally but the noticably low speed on the Road to Glory exclusive prize Bad News Barrett just got boosted into making sense.

A single, unboosted card was starting at like 614, which was way lower than everyone else on that tier. They just bumped it up to a better 814.

 

[fazzle]

I did discover even being at 190/190, the match count is still couting me using the RTG to play, so I am using it to pull 6 cards a game and bulk up my BnB faster.

I think I said it elsewhere during the last RTG, not here, but I don't get this logic at all. You get 6 cards a game if you win in RTG. The average RTG game has at least 12 matches in it, while an exhibition has 3 matches for 2 cards in a win. That's 4 times the amount of matches while getting 3 times the amount of pulls. I don't see how that's faster or why people use RTG *just* to get the pulls.

 

[Baby Shoes]

To me, it feels faster. Yeah, you are using cards of 4 games but not as many loss screens. I feel one RTG moves faster than three exhibition, especially in a tag team heavy game.

 

[Baby Shoes]

Just got my auto Survivor pull, which I thought would be coming up soon. Pulled Eve Torres.

She is like the next highest one behind top four (AJ, Bellas, Nattie). If nothing else, once I power her up she will be my fourth strongest Diva, as I fed my Epic Perfect Pro Brie to one of my new Survivor pros going into RTG and had to use single Legendary AJ in a slot. Had the cards to make an Epic pro Cameron but felt it wasn't worth it and fed her instead of leveling her up.

 

[Baby Shoes]

The new People's Champion this week?

TITO SANTANA vs. MR. PERFECT!

 

[fazzle]

They better load the Tito side with top cards, or else this might be the biggest landslide in Supercard history.

 

[Baby Shoes]

Pretty much. I was excited to see Tito but plenty on the 2K Forums have no idea who he is :-\

 

[fazzle]

Just got my first random Survivor pull from the board and it's...a Lana. Sure, that will be helpful in the RTGs but A) I already had a Legendary Lana and B) I WANT A FUCKIN WRESTLER! MY FREEBIE WAS A SUPPORT TOO! GAH!

 

[Baby Shoes]

Sorry to hear. The Lana will be nice down the line and if you pair both together in RTG, you will crush those categories.

My survivor pulls were weak to start. First board pulls were Heenan as my freebie and a stop sign. Since then from the board I've gotten a Yokozuna, a Roddy Piper, a DiBiase (to pro one I got in KOTR) and Eve. Not top cards but all solid enough.

Definitely got better pulls in KOTR. The one I won I got HHH (Authority) and RVD, also pulled DiBiase, Mizdow, a pair of Tamina Snukas, Batista and most recently Edge.

Those, coupled with the ones from RTG - Sting, Flair and Fandango - plus the RTG exclusive three, I am starting to be pretty confident in my deck. Got another KOTR ending today. I am first place right now (43-0). Thinking I should at least make it out of first round, so hopefully I will have something decent show up.

 

[fazzle]

I'm currently 40-1 in my Legendary KOTR. I think I may want to attempt a Survivor one next.

 

[Baby Shoes]

Based on your deck, you could be fine, given matchups.

I got some Survivor cards in Survivor KOTR while still carrying Epic Pros in my deck. You may get out in the semis but that would still build your Survivor catalog up.

 

[fazzle]

Pregame for PCC is out and they're at least trying to get people to pick Tito by putting Bryan and Taker on his side. I still don't think it will work though

 

[Baby Shoes]

Yeah, the rewards on the Tito side are much more appealing but I am guessing Perfect still wins.

The thing that sucks is I likely end in the Legendary tier and I already have Undertaker and Kane pros. Would be nice to get up to Survivor but don't see myself taking the time to do it. I don't have those Mysterio Epics, so if I am low enough, maybe I just aim for those.

 

[fazzle]

I've gone from 0 Mysterio epics to 3 in the last 3 or 4 days. Normally I'd throw away new epics at this point, but Rey's speed is so good I'm holding onto them for when I have nothing left to level up.

 

[Baby Shoes]

Yeah, his speed is usually up there with guys in the next tier up. Think his Pro Survivor has like 3500 or something crazy last time I was matched up on one. That is right under the slowest RTG guy.

People were speculating on the Orton/Bryan as they entered the card catalog today. That means both should be wandering into the regular game soon, as the ones on that tier get released regardless a la the Hollywood Hogan.

Just entered the KOTR finals. 49-0 going in.

 

[Baby Shoes]

I did finish 51-0

Just claimed reward. First was Edge, who I've been leveling up, so a new pro. Second? Eve. I had just got done leveling the lone one I had. That'll give me two solid Survivor pros!

 

[Baby Shoes]

Jumped right in another KOTR after claiming my rewards. A couple games in, holding strong. 2-0. Noticed my opponent in Game 4 and I am thinking it may be a developer bot, which I heard are getting placed in KOTR. Not sure if it is good or bad but the person's avatar happens to be a pro'd version of that old school Orton Survivor that was just released tonight. Not sure, I mean, people could be pulling them already but already getting two within hours of their release seems highly suspect.

They are one of the teams tied at 2-0 right now, so we will see how they turn out...

 

[fazzle]

Just got to my second Legendary KOTR Finals. The guy in 5th seed had no reason to be in a Legendary KOTR with all Legendary Pros and a Survivor Pro Austin, but luckily the Austin only got pulled once in three matchups.

 

[Baby Shoes]

I hate that... Let us know what you pull as rewards. Hopefully more Pros coming your way.
