High End PC's crush next gen consoles. I own a PS4 and only own an 8 years old laptop so don't call me a *****, just the truth.

Agreed high end PCs can handle anything these consoles put out and more.

it's their way of saying they all the profits. if you guys know pcs can run it what else could it be?

edit: this just might be me but i feel like 2k is slapping loyal fans in the face. what's the point of putting focus on my player when you half do it in the first place. no point in having other people on the team. if they made it 1v5 at least i'd know why i was losing.

Of course, that's what they are saying. They did it to push console sales, because that's where they make their money with the micro-transactions and what ever else.

Well just knowing VC continues to be in means I'm out. Sad I can't even enjoy all the hard work they do over there because they continue to rely on such a stagnated approach to player development in MyCareer.

2k14 needs so much work, and they are already losing me with this VC crap.

People saw MLB The Show's version of VC as a pre-order bonus and started freaking out as well. As an owner of the The Show, I can say that I'm perfectly fine with how it was handled there. As far as it's inclusion in Road to the Show. There isn't a single second where it's required for you to buy the currency. Your contract isn't some ridiculous looking 500 Mario coins while everybody else has 5 year/40 million dollar deals and so on. It's exactly as a microtransaction system should be. There if I want it, but never something I actually NEED. 2K has a chance to right some major wrongs from 2K14. I'm still confident they will, but as of right now, they are a used game purchase (when I get around to it) from me as opposed to the pre-order on the first day available that they used to be.

This is so true, MLB the show is a perfect example of how to do microtransactions right. The 2K guys should take notice; you aren't charged some ridiculous amount to change the color of your batting gloves or whatever, if I didn't look I might not have known microtransactions were in the game.

The difference is that SCEA was up front about how it would be handled. 2k has continued to actually make the VC system worse throughout the 2k14 cycle. After they lowered the VC rewards in MyGM, I lost all faith that they would go the same route as The Show next year.
