NBA Live Mobile 21 Highlight Reel Event Tips and Tricks

As per our calculations, the following sums up the chances for F2P Players. This strategy has been checked and calculated with a maximum of 450 stamina. If any player has more than the latter, surely it will be a smoother process to grind for the Grand Master.

With a maximum of 450 Stamina players can play Blitz event 6 times and also play VIP Event. As the bar refills every 7.5 hours, players can repeat the one-time grind a maximum of 4 times a day.

Running the Math for F2P Players

Events/PacksTokens Earned per dayTotal Tokens Earned
Blitz Event (6x)24264
VIP Event111
From Store (Using Credits)555
From Store (Using Coins)444

Thus one can earn 374 Tokens from 11 days of the event from grinding down the events

Any 90-94 OVR select set would require 20 Highlight tokens and 5 LIVE Today trophies. A total of 9 Live Today trophies can be earned by completing live today objectives.

One can earn 99 Live today Trophies from 11 days of the event

To make sure that every Exclamation set is completed requires a total of 20 90-94 OVR players. With 374 Highlight Reel tokens in hand, Players can complete the 90-94 OVR select set a total of 18 times. Also, a total of 27,500 favorable event points will be in hand after playing the Blitz, as mentioned above, which will easily complete one out of four of the milestone rewards, which will reward an additional 50 Highlight Reel tokens. And therefore all Exclamation sets can be completed at least once.

This will guarantee at least one Highlight Reel Master. Though having plenty of coins can help as more packs can then be bought from the store. And more stamina will also boost up Coin return, (which is currently 45K with maximum stamina of 450 available) and Tokens.

That’s it the Highlight Reel Event in a nutshell. Beyond that, there isn’t a whole lot to say about this event. All the calculations are at your doorstep there, do with it what you will and plan carefully. Do keep an eye out for stamina during the event. The stamina bar may need a recharge once in a while So keep a note of your stamina from time to time. Watch ads for 50 Stamina from time to time or your second choice would be to only play events that contain a limit.
