I'm not as dialed in to how the games went

At a glance, that amethyst Shaquille O'Neal basically makes the pink diamond version irrelevant. On top of that, Billups is another insane value card as many folks already know how good he is in the game. Steve Nash won't be meta, but at 30K it's still wild value. The Vince and MT 2K23 MJ obviously look crazy, and Glitched LeBron now enters the arena as the new dominant point guard who will make you miserable when you run into him. I will not question how good these cards are, I just worry about where we can really go from here. But that's not a new concern, it's just reinforced once again with this release.I can also tell you right now I'm not doing reviews for MJ, Vince or Glitched LeBron as of now. I mean I'll still review them, but it will be purely off watching others use him and looking at their attributes. Their prices are insane, and even I don't have the MT to buy them and then sell them back right after without trading a bunch of cards I don't want to sell while this market crash is ongoing. The others though, extremely affordable. Nash is going for 30K, Billups is barely 8K, Shaq is under 2K and Walker is basically 600 MT.The market crash has impacted just about every card to some degree, but it's taking the top off the very highest-priced cards first and foremost. However, some prices are holding somewhat well because they impact certain Signature Series challenges. Basically, some people still want to unlock Brandon Roy so you can't get every card for very cheap today.I only watched the PS4 games, but both players came in as underdogs if we go by seeding. Jomar came in as the bottom seed (16) on PS4 and had to beat both the first and second seeds on his way to the title. On the other side of things, The Klass Guy was the 12 seed who ended up beating the first seed and finally the 15th seed in the finals.There was rampant amounts of input lag going on during the PS4 side of the tournament that marred a lot of the games as neither team could make a lot of shots. However, Jomar has a lot of competitive experience and has been a member of the 2K League, so he seemed to use that experience to his advantage. He adapted the best and beyond a close game in the finals and the first round, he mostly cruised through his games. He made some timely shots, and used players like Larry Bird and Ben Simmons very well to get into his offensive sets.On the Xbox side of things, I'm not as dialed in to how the games went, but Xbox notoriously has even worse input lag than PS4 in MyTeam. So I would imagine The Klass Guy had to overcome similar issues to Jomar and the other competitors on his way to victory. On paper, I would say Klass is bringing the stronger roster to the finals, but Jomar's experience could be an X-factor. Of course, this game is being played on Xbox so that might impact Jomar as well.While it's a shame the tournament games were impacted by input lag, it does seem like almost everyone had to deal with the same obstacles. Hopefully, as we move to next-gen, Buy 2K MT and other studios will figure out better ways to handle these tournaments online. Otherwise we should just go to more and more LAN-style events to provide the fairest environment for everyone involved.
