I do not believe this will be the case. I have a difficult time believing each and every sports video game franchise will buy into stupifying their entire product in such a fashion. For The Show, Madden, NBA 2K, NBA Live, NHL Hockey, and every other sports title to forego the idea of a realistic off-court experience in lieu of golden coins and overpriced RPG fantasies... that could create an unprecedented shift in the sports gaming world that I feel would ultimately lead to heavy consumer turnover.

It kind of feels like bizarro world. If the most popular basketball video game on the market were to try to pull this maneuver over in 2002, old school NBA 2K would have pounced all over this opportunity by stepping up and flaunting their commitment to providing the most realistic NBA basketball experience on the planet, free of virtual currency and forced fictional storylines.

Unfortunately, there is not an old school 2K-like alternative out there right now to fill the void or keep current 2K from going too crazy.

Re: PastaPadre: VC Implementation Threatens The Future Of The NBA 2K Series

This pattern won't fly if it keeps up. How can you pay $60 plus and only parts of the game work??

I promise you sales will drop drastically next year. Sure some will buy but a lot of gamers are gonna pass this game over. Hell what are they gonna try to spring on us on top of what they tried to do this year??

I'm still in shock what they tried to do with this Next Gen version. Smdh

At this point it would just make sense to sell games for $80 and include everything cause then people wouldn't have any cause to complain (of course people would still complain about the price tag anyway)... But promising a full gaming experience before the game hits the shelves only to make people pay more money after purchase just strikes me as greediness... I don't think it actually threatens sales though cause the youngest consumers will grow up with this being the norm

You need VC to even change your rotation? That's sickening....WTH were they thinking?

I wish VC was gone and would never come back. Unfortunately there are stupid people who spend money on it so as long as 2k is bringing in some sort of revenue from it it will never go away.

Re: PastaPadre: VC Implementation Threatens The Future Of The NBA 2K Series

Put me in the anti-VC category. I just can't support these micro-transactions to do BASIC game functions. It really rubs me the wrong way and as much I have loved the 2K series I won't buy the game next year if this continues. I'm not a huge basketball fan that needs to get a game. I'll easily pass if they continue this path.

VC is going nowhere. But I'm confident in saying that we can expect a complete overhaul come next year.

The only place VC belongs is an optional gameplay mode. Not something that the majority of its players buy the game for.

Count me in on this. I will not buy the game next year if this continues. Might sell my PS4 too. 2K was the only videogame I played.

Pay money to change rotations ... smh come on EA-- I mean 2K.
