Then do what FIFA did with their price restrictions.

Actually having a currency that's much tougher to acquire destroys the market more. Higher valued cards will rarely be moved because people just won't have the currency to purchase them. You can buy Stubs in the Show in the same way you can buy VC in 2k. Someone with money will always have the upper hand no matter what you do. If you're saying I can buy packs with VC, what's to stop me from buying a gross amount of packs until I get the cards I want, then selling off the cards I don't want. I'd still be able to convert VC into MyTeam currency. People will always find exploits, but when you put MyTeam on an island you force people to make a choice. Either play the rest of the game or play MyTeam.

Plus they don't seem to care much about the game being unfair for online play. Look at all the people who purchase VC just to make their characters great for the park without ever putting any time into them. Yeah they won't be at full potential but they'll be good enough.

Anyone who played myteam in 2k13 would know why VC + A Market idea would be a BUST.

BRB buying my all rainbow team on Day 1.

I understand some of the points you make so thank for that.

Buying packs with VC is very hard and a colossal waste of money for what you get in return. The pack odds are so low on most of them, a few of the Ruby sets were an exception.

People will spend money on whatever they please which is fine with me. The real problem this year was the lack of ways you could acquire an acceptable amount of MT. If they added more challenges with better rewards, more MT awarded from domination mode and RTTP, and others than it would be much more balanced.

This has been a problem in many of these game modes for years, it's not as easy to balance as you would think.

But that's not really the point. They should be making the cheese more difficult not significantly easier.

From the stream last night, it was said the card and ratings were to be based on the moment Jordan first stepped foot on a professional basketball court, before anyone really knew what he was to become. From what they said, I would expect the card to be rated much lower than the one from 2K15, which was based on the end of his rookie season. Furthermore, the card colors have a defined ratings range this year, which we know nothing about yet...I think it is a bit premature to get all excited about how overpowered the card may be. However, I would expect it to be a bit better than the Durant card because everyone that preordered got that one, whereas this card will be given away with the Jordan edition at a $20 premium.

It's bad enough that nothing, regardless of color, can be sold for under 500mt...that either needs to go away or be modified based on color tier.

Getting rid of Pink Diamond is probably the best news Ive heard. It ruined/killed the game off too early. To give away the best players to keyboard warriors who can sit around on cpu all day makes zero sense in the business profit mode. But 2 guys got a lot of social media followers. Im sure their pockets got full.
