Re: NBA 2K14: MyGM Virtual Currency Rewards Slashed by 40%

first im sorry for my english.

anyone thought about starting a twitter campaign???

i hate that they done this. they should then raise the outcome if u play the game.
the best thing is i cant load my carrer and my 96 player is crushed. always i try to load.....back to dashboard.
i send them mails 6 times in 4 weeks. i wanted them to push my new one to 96 or get me the vc to get him there again. no reply! nothing!!!!

this is a company who cares about their fanbase.
i am working in charge in a supermaket. if i handle my customers like this....bye bye!!!

I truly hope that this is a mistake, perhaps they meant to cut the cost of items by 40%, not VC earned.

If it's not a mistake, that's quite a "suck it" to the fans.

The way VC was implemented was already a "suck it" to the fans...this is just a little added "and kiss our ***"

I've been done with this game since January and have no plans on buying this years version if things don't change....i'm pretty sure it wont so i'm preparing to be without an NBA game for awhile unless Lives gives me what I want.

They're doing a live broadcast tomorrow so I'm sure this will be brought to their attention...

They don't care about the comments lol they see them but won't acknowledge them

But if they choose not to say anything it will look really weak.

Such a perception has not seemed to affect them thus far.

Just buy an used copy of 2k15 from some guy (not stores) and then don't spend a dime in VC.
This is the best strategy to boycott 2k but enjoy the game at the same time.

Re: NBA 2K14: MyGM Virtual Currency Rewards Slashed by 40%

I never thought I would be one to say this, but I am done with NBA 2k as long as they keep pushing VC this hard.

It's a real shame because I really enjoy the gameplay that 2k14 offers, and the graphics 2k created this year are superb. VC just kills everything 2k did right though.

I could honestly live with VC if it was implemented correctly. Lowering the VC rewards when the game released was a poor decision by 2k, slashing them further by 40% is a disgusting tactic. It essentially says that 2k no longer cares about providing a product that gamers want, they want to provide a product that lines their pockets even at the expense of former customers that have been purchasing the game for the last 6 years.

If VC gets fixed then I may buy NBA 2k in the future, but for now I am going to personally boycott 2k15 because of VC (and I fully understand this will do nothing to change 2k's tactics I can only hope that enough people boycott as well to ensure that 2k takes some notice that we won't all let ourselves get conned by them).

That doesn't really help. All 2k will see there is that the game was sold for full retail price once at $60, then it was traded-in and re-purchased by someone at a price between $45-$20. That means 2k sold one game for a total of $105 at its highest value, 2k wins still.

The only way to truly boycott a game is not purchase the game at any stage in its cycle.

Oops, didn't see you say one guy the first read through. But even that isn't really possible if you don't trust purchasing used copies online and your friends either, A; only purchase digital copies, or B; keep all their games.

Re: NBA 2K14: MyGM Virtual Currency Rewards Slashed by 40%

Eh, honestly i'm sure part of the reason they did this is because they know their fanbase will buy it anyway(similar to the COD fanbase). Let's be honest here, how many of you people complaining are gonna impulsively shell out money for 2k15 next year and then complain about things they don't fix? They probably realize they don't need to really try and i doubt they care much about improving the game when they know they'll still make a good profit anyway. The last 2k i bought before 2k14 was 2k11. 2k12 and 2k13 i bought used purposely so 2k would not get any of my profit, and i'll probably be doing it next year. If i don't find a used copy i just won't buy it. I'm in the minority though. Most people forget whatever gripes they had when they see whatever trailer 2k puts out all of a sudden they're like "OH MAH GOD MANE, DIS DA BEST LOOKING THING I EVER SEEN, I GOTTA THROW MY MONEY AT 2K CUZ I'M IMPULSIVE AND HAVE TO PLAY DIS MAN". It's sad really. For all the complaints 2k got about 2k14 this year, it won't mean a thing if they still sell well. As a matter of fact it'll prove that they don't have to try and people will buy anything(it's not like there's much of a choice, there's 2 NBA basketball games out and 1 is sooo bad that it makes 2k a game that's ok but needs a lot of work, look like the god of bball games).

This is just silly.

like every gamer that doesn't take your stance lacks common sense and self control. Please. Proceed with your "movement", but don't generalize everyone else.

I'll say it right now...there's a 9/10 chance I'll buy new next year...and it's not because I am going to "OMGZ" or what ever else you want to put in capital letters at the trailer. It's because I enjoyed enough of 2k14 that they've earned my next buy.

Re: NBA 2K14: MyGM Virtual Currency Rewards Slashed by 40%

Haha wow. I am losing hope in 2K very quickly. Was planning on buying this once I got my PS4, but probably not anymore. The whole VC grinding CRAP made me sick of 2k13, then 2k14 current gen.

[ZoneBlitz]

Their arrogance now is staggering. I am shocked. They used to be the humble, awesome and hard working developer that made a great game. Now, however, they just want money. I did not spend $59.99 for a game only to have to spend more money to play it. I reject this model and thus I am considering doing the unthinkable, not purchasing it next year.

All the people boycotting VC just play offline MyGM you don't even have to upgrade any skills really. You just need to buy the "allow to change coaching rotation" skill.

Just enjoy the game offline.

[canucksss]

VC = BS

One of the reasons why I gave up playing this game. Better not have VC for nba 2k15 or at least make it more realistic...if not no 2k15 for me. ENOUGH of this BS.

It's the principal of the matter. Plus, the game shouldn't need to be all online anways.
