There has been no mention of VC anywhere in MyGM, and from my recollection, nowhere in NG have a seen a screen involving VC

Yeah, to each their own. It's just, at this point, I'd much prefer knowledge over speculation. Also, surprises aren't always great. Sometimes they can be, "Surprise! MyGM is motored exclusively by VC!" or "Surprise! Classic teams are still here, but we never said how many classic teams! Good luck with the '98 Bulls and '85 Bucks!"

I know, I'm definitely sounding like a broken record at this point, but I sure miss the straight forward approach.

Hypothetical example:

Q: Will the Raptors have their dino-jerseys as alternates?
A: They will not.

That'd be bad news, but at least we'd know.

I'm praying that this is the case. VC would absolutely destroy this mode.

Well 2k has to have a bottom line otherwise there wouldn't be a game now would there?

Even the masses could care less about some screenshot that tells them absolutely nothing about the game. This screenshot marketing needs to go its the most ridiculous marketing I have ever seen leading up to a launch for a game. They should of planned and had detailed written insights by now like they used to have.

All you guys expecting more than screenshots for this mode are going to be sorely disappointed. We're not gonna get a video on it, or a developer diary.

At the most what we're getting is a write up by Simballer (one of the leads on this mode). He said he would try to get us an article on it by the end of the week, but it's not guaranteed .

I don't like it believe me, it's frustrating as hell. I'm just relaying what was said. Who on here really stays on Facebook anyway to look for 2k updates? I remember when I was on the 2k forums back in the 2k9-2k10 days waiting for developer insights that took forever or never came. Marketing has never really been 2k's strongest selling point, and the social media push has only made things worse. But, when the majority of kids are on Twitter and Facebook this is what you get. It sucks, but it is what it is at this point.
