That doesn't really help. All 2k will see there is that the game was sold for full retail price once at $60, then it was traded-in and re-purchased by someone at a price between $45-$20. That means 2k sold one game for a total of $105 at its highest value, 2k wins still.

The only way to truly boycott a game is not purchase the game at any stage in its cycle.

Oops, didn't see you say one guy the first read through. But even that isn't really possible if you don't trust purchasing used copies online and your friends either, A; only purchase digital copies, or B; keep all their games.

Let's be honest here, how many of you people complaining are gonna impulsively shell out money for 2k15 next year and then complain about things they don't fix? They probably realize they don't need to really try and i doubt they care much about improving the game when they know they'll still make a good profit anyway. The last 2k i bought before 2k14 was 2k11. 2k12 and 2k13 i bought used purposely so 2k would not get any of my profit, and i'll probably be doing it next year. If i don't find a used copy i just won't buy it. I'm in the minority though. Most people forget whatever gripes they had when they see whatever trailer 2k puts out all of a sudden they're like "OH MAH GOD MANE, DIS DA BEST LOOKING THING I EVER SEEN, I GOTTA THROW MY MONEY AT 2K CUZ I'M IMPULSIVE AND HAVE TO PLAY DIS MAN". It's sad really. For all the complaints 2k got about 2k14 this year, it won't mean a thing if they still sell well. As a matter of fact it'll prove that they don't have to try and people will buy anything(it's not like there's much of a choice, there's 2 NBA basketball games out and 1 is sooo bad that it makes 2k a game that's ok but needs a lot of work, look like the god of bball games).
This is just silly.

like every gamer that doesn't take your stance lacks common sense and self control. Please. Proceed with your "movement", but don't generalize everyone else.

I'll say it right now...there's a 9/10 chance I'll buy new next year...and it's not because I am going to "OMGZ" or what ever else you want to put in capital letters at the trailer. It's because I enjoyed enough of 2k14 that they've earned my next buy.

Haha wow. I am losing hope in 2K very quickly. Was planning on buying this once I got my PS4, but probably not anymore. The whole VC grinding CRAP made me sick of 2k13, then 2k14 current gen.

Their arrogance now is staggering. I am shocked. They used to be the humble, awesome and hard working developer that made a great game. Now, however, they just want money. I did not spend $59.99 for a game only to have to spend more money to play it. I reject this model and thus I am considering doing the unthinkable, not purchasing it next year.

All the people boycotting VC just play offline MyGM you don't even have to upgrade any skills really. You just need to buy the "allow to change coaching rotation" skill.

Just enjoy the game offline.

VC = BS

One of the reasons why I gave up playing this game. Better not have VC for nba 2k15 or at least make it more realistic...if not no 2k15 for me. ENOUGH of this BS.

It's the principal of the matter. Plus, the game shouldn't need to be all online anways.
