I love the VC system...

Yes it does take some time to earn a lot of VC, but that is going to give the game more replay value in my opinion. Over the course of an entire year playing nba 2k13, you will earn so much VC, probably more than you realize at this point...

I do agree on clothes being overpriced. This is my only complaint. I can max out one of myPlayer's attributes before I can buy most of that stuff... That is a little weird to me.

It is insane that you have to pay like 20 bucks for a pair of VIRTUAL earrings. Hell, I paid that much for mine in REAL LIFE!

My point is you're basically saying "well hey the VC system isn't as bad as you think it just takes hard work" when in reality the system is pretty horrible.

The structure of having real contracts are taken out in exchange for VC, you negotiate your contract in VC, you get paid yearly in VC, in order to improve your player 2k decided that they'll implement a system where you essentially pay to get better. That's shameful and people need to stand up against it, if you as a consumer don't have a problem with what they're doing they will continue to do it.

like i said, i played 5 games and earned around 3,000 VC. i bought a double wristband and a sweatband for my player and also improved my players inside scoring ratings from 64 to 72, improved his mid range rating from 72 to 78 and improved his 3 point shot from 64 to 70. i did all of that using less than 3,000 VC which i only played 5 total games in different game modes to earn.

your the one that is making it seem so bad, but in reality it isnt. you dont have to pay a cent to improve your player and buy accessories.

Yes you do but I'd honestly be rather playing as myplayer rather than playing random games just to milk VC. The mode already drags seeing as you can't sim.

And i want to be careful about this subject because i honestly dont believe 2k is such a money hungry company, I hope they remember the days when their games were 20$ just to compete. I dont think they realize just HOW difficult obtaining VC is... And i wonder how guys are earning more than 500VC a game cause that is the most i have EVER earned

Maybe they will add an update and we can gamble VC on the plane like the real players do lol
