Opened a pack and got Pistol Pete. I don't think I've seen a Slasher card that can shoot like this.

Posted him for auction at 37k buy now if anyone wants him (cheapest on PS4)

95 for Three-Pointers...well, I guess he was 10/15 from outside for his career!

Cool, looks like being patient with Pippen really paid off

Now they just need to fix the mid-range and post ratings for Hakeem and Yao.

I managed to get Pistol Pete and the Mailman in this batch of legends pack. Will this be the last legends pack or will then still make regular releases in the coming weeks?

In previous years they've had encore packs, so hopefully they'll do something like that this year as well.

Picked up Malone from the AH for 32k. He's a great finisher along with his high midrange and post ratings. Only severe problem with The Mailman is that he rarely dunks like pre-patch Pippen. Even with his rare dunking, he still managed to shoot a perfect 14-14 from the field.

What would be cool is if they made new legends packs with new players not originally included in the game. Or maybe they start going by decades and do the classic Dirk, VC, and Melo

I doubt that Carter, Anthony, and Dirk will be featured in packs, but rather as Masters, especially since the Master JR challenge says he's the first Throwback Master.

They should do part two of previous teams like the Lakers, Celtics, Knicks, etc. We're still missing players like Baylor, Russell, Ewing, etc.

I could see them running part 2s for teams to cover the ones we haven't seen yet. The Lakers and Celtics have enough for brand new teams, but for Ewing they may need to repeat or do current players. My god I would mark out if they did a Linsanity card.

Part 2s, second chances, and maybe some mixed packs would be great.

I like the idea for second chance packs. Mixed packs could really help some people get legends they haven't before (that is assuming their luck is good)

In the case of Ewing, he still has Knicks legends to be released alongside him. Willis Reed and Walt Frazier are also present in Master challenges, but neither of them are obtainable.

Btw, I'm interested in getting Pippen back knowing that he can properly dunk now. Sold my Pierce card for 150k, and I've seen Scottie going for around 120-130k.

Just browsing the Auction House to check out prices and see just how much grinding I have to do (a lot), when I happened across this error:

Usually when you hit R3 to view the attributes, then back out, it fixes the preview error. Another error is Kidd not being a Nets legend lol

That too. He definitely should've been one.

Oh man, this Malone card is amazing to use. Not only can he finish with ease inside, as well as his post and midrange game, but he also rebounds much better than his card says. It's crazy how you see someone with his stats going for about 35-50k.

They have some UI issues in LUT with backgrounds or portraits disappearing when you highlight them. It's actually pretty annoying

I've noticed that. George Gervin's seems to disappear a lot.

It sucks if you want to take a screenshot, and the player's card is invisible, which forces you to highlight his card. Gervin's portrait is never visible if you put him on the bench; the same thing happens with James Worthy. At least the good news is that it only happens on some players, but not all.

It happens a lot for me scrolling through the auction house as well which is irritating since you obviously want to see what's available

Definitely. I guess it's a minor thing in the grand scheme of things, but an annoyance all the same, especially if you want to take a screenshot as you noted.

Both of Garnett's cards used to have the same problem, but it appears that has been fixed. Since the portraits on the bench differ than the ones used in the starting five, it could be possible that Gervin and Worthy don't have a dedicated texture, thus rendering the preview invisible.

Btw, I noticed that your starting five is the exact same as the 90's team in the Master challenges.

I based it on the old 90s All-Stars teams, so that makes sense. Just a shame MJ isn't in the game.

Sucks that with Jordan, Barkley, and Laettner not in the game, you can't complete the '92 Dream Team. At least you can fill them in with legends who didn't play on that team, but played during that time such as Hakeem.

Focusing on reaching at least 150k just in case something good happens, so I put some other cards that I don't need on auction such as ToTW Smith Jr for 12k. I'm also planning on selling a duplicate Anunoby Rookie Ladder card when the Master VC challenge comes out, because I know the price for Raptors players will increase by then.
