I have this idea for a fun way to get cards in MyTeam NBA 2K21, so I want to get some feedback.
So what should happen is that the minigame to roll to get better cards is, imagine, a 5x3 grid of symbols. And you spend a few VC Points to roll certain symbol combos in a line. They could be, for example, 9-10-J-Q-K-A, flaming basketballs, T2 logos, Michael Jordan sad faces, etc. There could even be a wild symbol using, say, the cover star of 2K21 that substitutes for all combos.
The cool thing is that you win back more VC Points to buy the cards you want, so there's no randomness in the actual core gameplay. You buy the cards you want. You increase the number of line combos by spending more VC Points per roll, and you can up the spend multiplier 2x, 3x, 5x, etc. But you're upping the chance for better rewards.
You'd get opportunities for lots of free VC Points by getting sets of free spins if you get 3 Golden Lebron James heads. The big goal would be getting the 2K Link minigame, because that would give you the best prizes. If you get 6 NBA logos with VC Point totals in them, you get this minigame where you try to spin up to 15 NBA logos. If you don't get 15, you still get a prize made up of your VC Point totals. But if you get 15, you get the Grand Jackpot which is a lot of VC Points that increases the more people play MyTeam.
The game could put on limited time themes with cool graphics in the minigame, like a Chinese theme for a Yao Ming card pack, or a cowboy theme for the 90s Bulls, for example.
So what do you think? If you we're a T2 shareholder or board member, or a big NBA 2K player, would you play it?
