From what I've experienced, it depends on when you put the card on auction. For me, I put my cards up for 12 hours when it's a couple of hours before midnight at my end (EST), and for a day around 5 PM. By the time I wake up, most of my cards are sold by then, but they almost never get sold during the afternoon for me unless it's a snipe.

6-12 hours is definitely the way to go depending on the time of day.

All these coins and no content to spend them on. Pretty disappointed we haven't had anything big happen for a month now.

Just played the challenge, and get yet another trial card, and it was Jokic. I immediately discarded him since there are 90 OVR Centers better than him.

This program wasn't thought out too well imo. For a consecutive month, I got nothing but trial cards (3 of them being Harden). I know it's a random pull, but when these are only once a week, it hurts even more when you get a trial card. On top of that, Cousins and Jokic are landmine pulls since their stats equal nowhere near a 94 and 93 respectively, when even 90 OVR Dawkins is a better Center than those two.

Honestly I don't mind the format too much as I usually horde trial cards until I actually need them. I don't mind gambling for good cards because I mean it's only one game that pretty easy to win. It's bot like you're playing a series of 5 games on superstar or paying 35000 coins for a chance at a good card. I have the same views on the one game rookie ladder challenge. I do get a little salty when I play the team on the week and don't get the best card

I get that it's one game, and I shouldn't be complaining about that aspect, but for the full versions to be that ridiculously low to pull, and two of the players have pretty poor attributes for their overall, it makes pulling the best legend constantly in packs look easy in comparison. I've seen people compare these cards to the Highlight of the Night cards from LUT 16, and they've explained that the following night after a great performance, a special card dedicated to the player was released, instead of random intervals of a past highlight from about a month or two ago. I don't hate the program at all, but in my personal preference, I wouldn't mind playing 5 games on Superstar to get similar cards, especially since we had no Master Challenges in about two months.

My luck just hasn't been the greatest this week, but the worst part was the Rookie Ladder reward. Of all the Rookie Ladder players...it gives me Dakari Johnson. Knowing my luck, I'll pull a permanent Jokic. I know I can use him in the Master Challenges, but if my gold Jokic can block, and both of them are slow as molasses, I don't see myself using his 93 card.

How in the world can they rate him 91 in the post, and 90 on defense? That's only because of his name.

He operates out of the post almost zero, and his defense has been on a steady decline for years. His mid being 87 is also ridiculous, he's a career .36% from 10-16 feet, and this season he's even shooting lower than that I believe.

But it's LeBron, so they have to.

His stats are bloated to an extent (you can also say that about BM Harden), but to be fair, it's a Big Moments card, the equivalent to the Moments cards in MyTeam. It's supposed to represent the card on the specific game rather than their overall season stats. It's the reason players like Jokic and Cousins have special cards in the 90+ overall range.

It's better than giving a role player a 99 Overall card, I have to give it that.

Going over all the teams used in legend challenges, I can only assume that the Jazz will be the final team with legends.

I'm not the biggest fan of the Jazz, or the duo, but that said, I wouldn't mind having Stockton and Malone as part of my retro squad.

I have never been lucky on the cards that I got from the rookie ladder, Big Moments,and other challenges. Never been lucky also in the cards I got from the Legends packs. But last night, I managed to snag a permanent Lebron card from the Big Moments challenge and he is a beast!!! :crazyeyes: :applaud:

Played through the LeBron James Big Moment, and ended up getting a temporary 96 Overall James Harden card. Go figure.

Jazz legends confirmed tomorrow. Stockton, Malone, and Maravich are the three legends. Kind of strange considering Stockton and Pistol Pete are already Master cards, so hopefully their legend cards will be good, but at the same time, their Masters won't become fodder when their upgrade comes.

I guess it gives people an opportunity to get them without playing through the Master Challenges.

Dang, Malone is a pretty solid card. He's up there with Sonics Kemp and Rodman

No doubt. I'll keep trying to collect 80s and 90s players, but for now, that lineup is a lot of fun to play with.

Also, they might have fixed Pippen's dunk package:

That dunk package certainly looks fixed; Pippen wasn't doing any of those dunks beforehand. Malone looks really good (other than having a post rating higher than Olajuwon), but I already have too many SF's and Kemp, so idk if he'd be able to fit on my team or not.

I thought some of them looked a little different to what he was throwing down before. Facial slams seem viable with him, too.
