New patch stops the simcast vc trick

[Mike_SethT]

Im sure some of you know about getting a quick 5k vc for simming a couple my league games, well now you cant do it anymore.

[sjackson1983]

yep I used to get around 900 VC for simcasting the first game, but now I only get like 50 VC. Oh well, time to patiently wait for the next trick

[FerdBrown]

But why even playing the game only gets around 30 VC?

2k is really going out of their way to have everyone spend more money to enjoy their game. It seems they’ve taken out the ability to earn any decent VC in my league. So it’s either spend $20-30 every my player or spend 40+ gameplay hours grinding each player lol

Have to be honest, I don't blame them for closing down these glitches however much that may suck for the players. That said, glitches that encourage users to spend more money are never targeted in anything resembling the same manner, such as the animation glitch. There are no repercussions for the players that used this to their advantage, often creating another player or 2 just to get them, ergo spending more money on VC.

They won't have theses animations removed from their players, once again screwing over the users that have played the game as intended. These players with dodgy animations should either have their players deleted or the animations deleted.

I'm sure Ronnie was quoted as hearing the noise about vc/grind in this years game and would be addressing it. And yet...

The speed and decisiveness these vc glitches receive over and above everything else is the biggest kick in the balls for anyone playing the game. I'm sure Zach said their would be a HoF multiplier for XP before the game dropped, and why tie the vc difficulty modifier to a 95ovr ranking as opposed to playing the game?

All the user can do is hope that 2k learns these lessons without any precedent or confidence that they will.

Hopefully we've hit the peak cash grab this year, and 2k will scale it back going forward, but who believes this?

They patch this real quick but I still don't get VC after Play Now games online. Lol..

By having the VC modifier tied to being 95 overall they can still say that it's readily there in the game they haven't taken it away. But there's also the fact that if you're already at 95 OVR, do you even really need the VC multiplier anymore? If you've already spent enough extra money or grinded hours upon hours away to get to 95, what is a little VC multiplier at the end of the rainbow really going to do for you? 2K either thinks we're dumb or they simply don't care.

2K hasn't learned anything and the cash grab will only continue to get worse. While the gameplay continues to get better, the cash grab nature of the game/company continues to get exponentially worse every year.

Our only hope is now that NBA Live is back, hopefully EA can continue to improve the Live franchise and give 2K some competition so that we have multiple options and don't have to rely solely on 2K for basketball gaming which should slow down their money grubbing business model .

If you switch EA and 2k in this post it could be a post from 2003/2004 regarding madden and nfl 2k series.


damn shame.
