NBA 2K14: MyGM Virtual Currency Rewards Slashed by 40%

[TMuss]

2k must really want that "Worst Company in America" title that EA currently has.

Pretty shady, 2k. Luckily, it doesn't effect me too much because I actually play a lot of my games. Also thanks to the My2k app I have plenty of VC at my disposal. Of course, it's ridiculous that I have to do that, but it's better than spending real money.

Pay more money to play an already paid for game on FAULTY servers.

The point about changing the VC is something I hadn't even previously considered. With the negative press this is receiving, I imagine the promotional materials for 2k15 will almost certainly promise us either better VC payouts for completing things in the game, or lower item costs. But once the game has been sold they can flip those values to whatever they please.

Shame on you, bunch of piece of s.

Did someone mention this game was part of that Best Buy trade in deal? After this bs I am definitely looking at trading this disgrace in. It looks like the show devs are the only ones who still give a crap about their customers, sad.

[WTF]

I truly hope that this is a mistake, perhaps they meant to cut the cost of items by 40%, not VC earned.

If it's not a mistake, that's quite a "suck it" to the fans.

These decisions are so far removed from how I once envisioned 2K to be. I'm becoming more interested in The Show day by day just because they still seem to be able to suggest that creating a fun & enjoyable experience for their customers may be priority #1. I know every company wants to cash out (even folks making The Show) but when you're dealing with art, there still must be some integrity there, no?

I am endlessly baffled and wholly disheartened with 2K's continued shift.

i honestly think this move is to get more people to purchase VC than to just run that mygm roster where you basically win everything then just delete it and redo it over and over to farm VC. this way it wont be worth it as much so people will fade away from doing the mygm farm or just purchase VC now.
