KOTAKU : NBA 2K18 is Riddled With Microtransactions

[Hassan Darkside]

Thank God for this article. At times I feel like companies look at message boards and communties as just a vocal minority. I don't expect 2k to ease up off of this until they get continuously get dragged by reviewers and critics. So far I haven't seen a review to make mention of this.

I don't mind grinding...i really don't but **** like this needs to be called out. If they don't get called out on this then they will lock face sculpting behind a paywall next year. This is how ridiculous the microtransactions are handled in this game. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

Honestly, I did think paying for hair and facial hair was going too far.

From Ronnie2k on twitter: "Haircuts, coloring and facial hair are now 100 VC. Want to make sure it's realistic going forward!"

I disagree. It's one thing to play as an icon character like Master Chief, Nathan Drake, Lara Croft, Mario, etc. It's different playing as a nobody that looks nothing like you.

If u plan on playing 2K a lot u will accumulate so much free VC u won't be able to spend it all. The game ain't even been out a week yet wtf. Hell just play everything offline if VC bother u so much lol

Y all are clearly missing the point but ok.
