Yes, because not previewing haircuts is downright scamming. Thats the main point for me that crossed the line. I dont even care that you earn even less VC with every year, Im not totally against VC, but the way 2k handles this is disgusting. Literally everything in MyCareer screams for buying VC to speed up the process of upgrading your player. A lot of stuff is hidden behind certain OVR's (yes even hairCOLORS), they know that everybody wants to get 80+ asap and they do everything to maximize profit. There are a lot of game developers out there that handle microtransations way better...

And years ago, in the app we could get many VC every day (even 1500 vc). Now just 100 per day (plus 500 for playing)

VC is ruining gaming as a whole. I remember when skill points were all it took to level up a player

I'm sorry, I'm old: I'm assuming VC is virtual coin or virtual currency?

I blame the famous Youtubers for making VC so popular and acceptable within the 2k community

Kind of feels like 2K14 all over again...where they had to dial it back after public backlash...you would think that was a lesson learned....

Really sucks that they went this route in a year where the gameplay developers worked their tails off...
