Should Virtual Currency be an option?

You didn't even try to play someone online in MyTeam mode, did you?

While I agree the VC was "overdone" in this game...the more I play the more I realize it's not the "complete" roadblock it's made out to be. on MY GM (the only mode I play) I find for the most part I can do what I want when I want the longer I play. But I agree with the folk here - it's overdone and distracting.

But I hate to tell you all- micro transactions are going NOWHERE. And if you think NBA 2k is bad get a whiff of Forza 5. They just said screw and went for it. The best we can hope for is MT that is optional and enhances the core game not limit it (see Madden).


PS - NFL 2k was SIM. IT wasn't killed off because of appealing to masses,etc. it died because of that dang exclusivity deal. How dare you!

I said I like VC for two fundamental reasons that it seems a lot of people are too enraged to understand. Before that, I want to mention I only purchase VC for clothing, accessories, and etc as I refuse to ruin my experience of being a rookie/grinding to the top with VC buying. It's like using cheat codes in a game, a waste.

1. There are people who due to real life are incapable of putting in the hours to get the progression in which your more "hardcore" players have. I think VC is a perfect option for them and have no problem with them doing so to max out... it still comes down to skill.

2. The most important reason for VC is the cost 2k has to keep the game going. So many of you I can tell are strictly console gamers and don't understand the costs of servers that game purchases don't cover.

If VC is annoying you that bad you should probably jump ship. With these new consoles it's only a matter of time before a majority of games are doing what PC games have been doing. Micro transactions and monthly subscriptions. 2k could of easily put in a monthly subscription fee, but they didn't. The positive of microtransactions is you can STILL earn the items, you are not forced to buy anything. So quit complaining and deal with it.

Haha nah but on a serious note man. I'm tired of people whining that this ruins the game. You do not have to buy VC in order to do anything in this game. VC can be earned.

But then again from the sounds of it these guys only play one game mode and expect to earn loads of VC.

Well unless you want to play MyGM 12 min quarter games for 925 VC or simulate seasons for VC you're stuck with buying it

VC should go like Carter did Toronto.

I do have a problem with VC. I have a problem with VC be over used in this years game.

I have issue with the lack of balance between payout Vs cost of Items.

Basic Mode features costing VC just to play!

and VC being the focus instead of putting out a fully functioning game.

VC + List of BUGs= problem. When the game works it's a blast to play then you realize in order to upgrade MYplayer I have to work extra hard to by like 1 point. Don't have an issue with working for something have an issue with the lack of Balance.
