    Re: Everything that is wrong with MyGM - VC Discussion

    Yea that is kind of lame, but I like incentives for playing and earning "xp". The more you level up the more you can do.

    Plus when I put in Battlefield, I have to level up to unlock guns and other things...even though as a soldier in the Military, I should have access to any weapon I want.

      It's heading towards the printer/ink model: we'll be buying the game but to keep playing you'll have to keep paying.

        I think the idea behind this is that you can't have full reign of the Franchise if your just "starting out" as a GM... even though in real life, people that get a GM position have allot a pull in regards to the lineup / roster, I think 2k was trying to give you something to work towards...

        1 thing that does bother me is that I don't get any VC for sim games... I would like to get some sort of VC for sim games, even if its not as much as if I actually played the game.

        Overall, I'm intrigued by how this will work out... I'm still looking for the Traditional "association" mode, does that exist on next gen?

          With respect, I think there's a little bit of a difference between online Battlefield play and what is supposed to be a real-life simulation product in NBA 2K. Perhaps a slightly better comparison would be the single player campaign of Battlefield? I'm still not sure that'd work, but at least in that regard you tend to come across new weapons organically, yes? As opposed to scoring points for killing targets and randomly buying the ability to use a bazooka throughout every single-player level?

          But even then, that kind of helps illustrate the divide. I think there's a lot of people who'd like a "level up" model in NBA 2K. However, it'll always be completely at odds with gamers who began playing 2K in the first place because they yearned for a realistic NBA simulation, through and through. I came over from NBA Live 2001 because it seemed 2K's goal was to chase real life, and I thought it was awesome. The difference now is, if 2K goes the NBA Live route off the court, I no longer have a realistic alternative out there.

            If only it was XP. It's not. It's a microtransaction currency and every reward in the game is based around the fact that they want to bait you into buying it with real money.

            Battlefield 4 is already walking the line with their battle packs and how you can buy products that come with battle pack codes. However things you get from battle packs aren't designed to be better than the guns you have when you start the game. That's completely different from being able to upgrade your MyCareer player to 99 overall or unlocking every single category in MyGM (or buying the franchise, what a sucker's deal that is. 50k for owning a franchise that you can get 1K VC per year?)

              Wait, you buy NBA franchises with VC?

                Yes. For 50 000 VC. Then you can get 200-1000 VC per year depending on what your profit margin is (+15 million for 1000).

                Nobody's bought it yet from what I can tell because you need to play at least 3 seasons and waste 50 000 VC. And then you have to play at least 50 season making a lot of money to get even. Ehhhh.

                  Wow, that's ripping off the user at its finest. It's really a shame to see a mode full of potential being turned into a cash grabber.

                    How long do you surmise it'd take to earn 50,000 coins?

                          Unfortunately, it took me a moment to consider whether you were being real or exaggerating for effect.

                            Could you please patch the VCs out of MyGM?
                            Really ruins the experience.

                              That is very true. More I think of it it is pretty tough to compare these two, even BF4 campaign wouldn't really relate because it is a completely linear experience.

                              So yea, I'm not too crazy about this....especially in the 'Franchise' mode.

                              Now a linear, Mass Effect style career mode would be cool...but still...pretty impossible to compare.
