No sir, I'm saying the balance of VC is off in how it is distributed, but overall I don't think it's a bad thing. You don't have to forgo shoes or accessories for months. You can spend the VC you earn however you choose to. I'm just pointing out that by playing the game (1a day) and tapping the app (which the iPhone app works perfectly for me), you can make around 150,000 VC in less than 3 months. I think partially as gamers we gotten used to getting the game and blowing through it in 2 weeks, that building over the course of a year until the next iteration makes us even more impatient.
The thought of us having a regular NBA rookie that isn't dominant, grinds for playing time and may only have one good skill his first couple of months in the league is too much for some. To me that could be seen as sim because most rookies share this fate, but if you want your guy to progress quicker they give you the option to purchase VC. If you're against purchasing VC, between playing and the app, you can earn enough by the All Star break to reasonably progress in whatever mode you're playing. The fact that guys want to play one mode and then start off high in another, isn't really sim in my opinion.

the problem is that it shouldnt be a grind it out mode at least not in the way that it is. yes you should have to work to progress but it shouldnt feel like a chore. its a video game. its supposed to be fun. personally i like to make multiple my players. i like to play different positions (make a sf then make a pf or c). so im playing the game the same amount of time and earning the same amount of vc but now i have three players to spread it between so im stuck having to farm just to make them decent. and thats only if i choose to ignore all other modes in the game that require vc. and the whole idea of my career is that its a fantasy mode. who wants to invest time to play as the next ryan hollins? some people want to be the next big thing. did lebron james have to grind it out before he was a dominant player and a starter? nope. he started out good and has steadily improved since.
but the way you start out in this game you are at the bottom of the barrel. even an "athletic" players physical attributes are sub par. i wouldnt mind the grind if it was actually realistic. for example instead of playing games to earn vc that lets you increase stats actually have to go to practice and work to raise your stats. want to raise your offensive awareness? go to practice and run plays. three point shooting? go shoot some three pointers. then vc is used only for purchases like shoes. but for those arguing that its sim to have to grind it out well yea it is if your actions directly affected your attributes. but instead your actions earn you money and your money changes your attributes. thats not sim. if it was then anyone who was rich could play in the nba.
