Are games selling worse or are they at a point where they cost a lot of money to make.

If neither is true then then the extra money grab is kind of a slap in the face to consumers. It's not like we bootleg there product. Maybe people didn't buy enough rtts steroids or the other options so they decide they need another way to capitalize on the impatient players.

The worse thing that could be done is to place this on us players who care not about taking the easy way out.

Games like 2k and the show are taking the biggest risk doing something like this when it requires being online always (if that's the case with the show) swing as they have the worse servers of every sports game year in and year out.

For example: you have to use VC "Currency" to change your line up in GM mode. if you are out of VC then you either HAVE to play with the line up you have until you have enough VC to fix your line up, or the HAVE TO PURCHASE MORE VC with real money. Its not a little issue, it literally RUINED the game. Thats why people are freaking.

Back on topic, this is my worry. We don't know what the features are until they tell us. But, if there anything like NBA 2K14, then I certainly won't be purchasing the game. But, if it is just universal currency used over the different modes and my franchise doesn't have to be connected to their servers at all times, then I'm fine.

It's pretty simple for me. If I can not play an offline franchise and I will be subjected to microtransactions to manuever what I can do on my PS4....It may be a long while before I ever go to a new console.


Sports games that require you to be online at all times and hit you with pay for play are not going to fly with me on the PS4 when I decide to get one. And I really really hope The Show does nothing like what I have read 2K basketball did. I would never buy 2K for PS4 in it's current state.


Man what is going on??? What the hell is happening to us solo offline franchise guys? Don't get me wrong....I love playing in SOS Madden...it is a blast. But I am having my usual awesome time with my offline CFM, Dynasty, franchise/classic season replays, Be A GM, and Association modes on my PS3.


If this is really the future of sports gaming.....I am not buying it.


I gotta believe The Show will still be a robust offline game. Gotta believe that. Baseball is not some wide spread popular sport anymore. We are fast becoming a cult (baseball fans) much like the NHL. Maybe I am wrong but baseball has far less popularity today than the NFL and NBA.

Limb......I'm going out on it.....there won't be anything in the game you need to buy UC for.
Just a guess.
