In game adverts?

[zeroblackstar]

I don't know about the rest of you but I find the hourly pop ups reminding me about VC sales completely unacceptable. I mean just f**k off already. I didn't pay $50 to be constantly pestered by in game ads. It's bad enough they keep releasing 2K full of ridiculous bugs which could have been easily picked up during QA and fixed easily (grey background player closeups during mycareer bug for example).

Each year it seems to be more about pushing VC sales rather then making a better game and it's really starting to sour the whole experience.

actually you did pay for ads... it's their game which you bought they can advertise anything they want inside of it.

To be pedantic, it's a hard fact that they cannot advertise whatever they like as there are regulations and restrictions, I believe it's something to do with "how the world works" but I wouldn't know. Likewise it's a fact that I bought a full price console game and not a free-to-play-but-with-ads-connect-the-gems-phone-game. I wouldn't mind getting told there is a promotion running on an in game item, I resent however getting a popup I can't turn off every hour of play so far constantly reminding me about it. Do you really want to deal with constant irritating adverts for in game purchases in a game you've already paid for and that year after year designs the game to encourage more purchasing? Bending over and accepting it is exactly how the world gets that way in the first place.

There's quite a few people who have bought the offer....and not got the free VC, I bet seeing the constant popups reminded them of how they've been effectively ripped off isn't nice either

They can advertise whatever maintains their "E" rating.
