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

    The same layout of the VC is expected to return next year. Nothing will change until the number of sales drop tremendously. They are also letting us know that, they can change the VC for the better or worse.

    So, if they change the VC system to make it better, once enough people purchase the game, they can make VC bad again. This is the future of NBA 2k. Pay more money to play an already paid for game on FAULTY servers.

      I am shocked, but in hindsight, I shouldn't be. This entire game is tuned to herd you towards buying VC. Now they're just taking off the thin veil and making it fully transparent that the sole point of this game is to milk you for VC money.

        2k must really want that "Worst Company in America" title that EA currently has.

          Pretty shady, 2k. Luckily, it doesn't effect me too much because I actually play a lot of my games. Also thanks to the My2k app I have plenty of VC at my disposal. Of course, it's ridiculous that I have to do that, but it's better than spending real money.

            The point about changing the VC is something I hadn't even previously considered. With the negative press this is receiving, I imagine the promotional materials for 2k15 will almost certainly promise us either better VC payouts for completing things in the game, or lower item costs. But once the game has been sold they can flip those values to whatever they please.

                Did someone mention this game was part of that Best Buy trade in deal? After this bs I am definitely looking at trading this disgrace in. It looks like the show devs are the only ones who still give a crap about their customers, sad.

                  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.

                    These decisions are so far removed from how I once envisioned 2K to be. I'm becoming more interested in The Show day by day just because they still seem to be able to suggest that creating a fun & enjoyable experience for their customers may be priority #1. I know every company wants to cash out (even folks making The Show) but when you're dealing with art, there still must be some integrity there, no?

                    I am endlessly baffled and wholly disheartened with 2K's continued shift.

                      i honestly think this move is to get more people to purchase VC than to just run that mygm roster where you basically win everything then just delete it and redo it over and over to farm VC. this way it wont be worth it as much so people will fade away from doing the mygm farm or just purchase VC now.

                        Yeah, if you've been following MLB The Show, they've implemented microtransactions as well, but they specifically state they're not trying to get into your wallet, and you can have just as enjoyable experience as always without spending a single dime. This was direct from the devs.

                        Compare that attitude to the attitude of 2K, which is total radio silence on the subject of VC while slowly but steadily having it take over all modes of the game, to the detriment of the player. After a certain point you have to wonder if 2K's priorities still lie in making the best and most enjoyable basketball sim on the market, or have they shifted into maximizing profits as their number one priority. Changes such as this do not make me feel optimistic.

                          On May 6 you can bet that I'm trading in 2K14 to get The Show. I'm just so burned out of it all: horrible teammate AI, Ronnie2K, VC, online cheese. I'm just not sure how one company can be so blissfully unaware of the problems with their product and their brand name, yet continue to blatantly put earning money off of VC as their #1 priority. Unless something major happens I don't think I'm gonna be getting 2K15, which is a shame because the series got me into basketball. Maybe I'll give NHL or FIFA a shot.

                              I also havent abused the farming too much

                              But its handy when u just want that quick 1000+ vc once in a while

                                If this game didn't have the best gameplay I've ever played in a basketball game, I'd be trading it in and getting current-gen 2k14.

                                So many restrictions in the game and downright greedy moves that they're making.
