KOTAKU : NBA 2K18 is Riddled With Microtransactions

[GisherJohn24]

I play offline only. Not affected . But I do know i played other modes back in the day because VC did not exist. 60.00 should be as much as you should pay. Paying 99.99 for a deluxe copy is insane to me. No video game should be 99.99 or even 79.99. You can almost find a used console for that price. In perspective it's insanity imo . Take our money 2K, but not all of our money . I spend a year offline with my franchise and playing with friends. That's worth the 60.00. Asking for more to do simple things is wrong.

That would be true if the other game modes were actually giving out the VC they promised. That to me has been the worst of all the glitches so far. I actually broke and bought some VC so I could play a couple games with my friends because the other game modes I usually get VC from are broken. The worst thing is that it seems like that glitch is low on the list of importance at the moment.

A good start, although the article wasn't the best written in the world.

Would be great if IGN covered it but wouldn't surprise me if they are in 2K's pocket, the world of gaming journalism is shady enough in itself.

IGN covered it in their review, actually.

I've never yet paid for any VC and I've still managed to play and enjoy every single game mode. FUT, MUT, micro transactions are everywhere.

2K is trying real hard to be Rockstar. Their greed is just as transparemt as them. But at Least Rockstar's system is better balanced.

I'm fine with grind, adds to sense of reward. I'm not fine with all the clothes and hair etc costing so much and not being even previewable.
