NBA 2K14 VC Shows Its Ugly Side

I have no problems with them providing short cuts for people. However basing a mode around VC is completely wrong. If you want to sell me something sell me a combine, summer league, and training camp I'll pay extra for those.

I almost made that last sentence part of my signature. Well put.

Reading through some of the new post a thought hit me, I realize this may be a little out there but many of us...myself included wished 2k had gotten the NFL license.

With all the players on the field and everything that goes on could you imagine how bad VC would have been in that? Work with the QB Coach, 400 VC, work with defense 400 VC, work with offense 400VC. Coach ability to communicate with Coach in the press Box 500 VC, ability to challenge play and throw the red flag 500 VC (Oh by the way....Red Flag 600 VC)

People who play myCareer will do the same. I do agree the price of packs in myTeam are ridiculous, but it seems the Domination mode will give you specific team packs that could yield Gold Players. The wack side I'm noticing is 2K is making it so you have to build from being a scrub to the top and if you want to bypass that, then you have to buy VC. This sucks for online gamers because you will build regularly and some other guy may buy VC, I get that. But to the guys who want to play the game and mainly the offline portions (myGM and myCareer) how is VC stopping that? What if they called it XP, eliminated the price tag but had the same progression levels? To me it seems like the best of both worlds because you can act as if VC doesn't exist (call it XP), play the game (which is why we bought it) and unlock things as you go along. Or, you can buy VC and play the game that you want to play it. The only thing that has seem to change to me is you can't max out your myPlayer or myGM in year 1 and dominate the league, which is realistic. I think this debate needs to go on and better balancing is needed, but the option to pay more and play the game the way you want to instead of how the developer wants you to, is a great option.

Also realize that some people play the games different ways. some people love to have the ability to customize and build a season how they see fit. Some love to sim through seasons and truly play GM by building their teams without having to play the games. Now they force you to play all the games if you want VC. If not you can barely level up your GM. Or once you hit the offseason you can't send your guys to training camps because each one costs VC. I don't mind VC being there but don't let it affect how each individual plays the game. 2K themselves have said that they are trying to provide a more controlled experience for the user.

And that's it for rewards.

But yeah, this microtransaction problem with 2k needs to balance out and also needs to be an option for modes like myGM. Cause at this point, I see 2k adding a subscription service where pay X per month and get X amount of VC by the end of the month. Like some weird loan plan.

I hate what 2K have done to this game this year and ****ing loathe the required grinding. The VC payouts are super low too, especially if you're not the best player -- so it's probably agonizing for casuals. I found a way to get VC at a reasonable clip by simming mycareer, with my current roster I get 1750VC every 7 minutes which is probably the fastest it's going to get without paying for it. It's still slow tedious work but atleast buying a pair of shorts doesn't feel like the worst thing in the world now that I can earn the funds required in 7 minutes. There's a video that walks you through how to do it -- search for shake4ndbake how to get the most VC on youtube. But you shouldn't get the roster he recommends and you should download mine instead because it makes more VC(His makes about 800 a pop, mine makes 1750).



My roster is named SimGrindMyGmVC by YzeNup it requires a few extra steps to use but is way more efficient -- start up myGM without injuries and with custom rosters using the above roster. Accept all the goals as fast as you can. Before you sim a game -- select business, press R2 and R1 and reduce the price for hats(which you can do without purchasing anything) to 1$ to ensure attendance. Select options press L2 and set all season task automation to on (this is shown in the above video). Following that just sim a season, you should get 1k VC from 5 goals for completing the season and you will get another 2 goals for the playoffs for a combined 450VC -- a sweep is virtually guaranteed so you will likely pick up another 100. For the post season just resign all the players on team options and select advance to next season for another 200 -- quit out after your second encounter with the gm.

For some reason on ps4 it requires it doesn't give you the playoff goals the second/any time you run this after the first one unless you close the application and restart, which is worth it since it doesn't take that long. I hope this makes sense and helps some of you out that are finding it hard to enjoy this game. This is still tedious but it's faster and you can bankroll things to get to where you want to be.

Hey all, the easiest way to get lots of VC is via the iPad NBA2K14 App. Finally got it to sign me in, and I tripled my VC in one day. Not to mention the addictive card game included in the app. Hope you have iPhones or iPads, it is not available on Windows.
