Has it been confirmed that always connected for single player is happening again?

Not officially. Though, in the first post of this thread, there's an asterisk under the pre-order bonuses that says something along the lines of, "internet connection required". So some folks have taken that as a hint.

I suppose we can hope that just means internet will be required for things that'd absolutely need internet (head to head play from different locations) and not necessarily for general play.

What I find funny is ALL these people on this forum crying about 2k, VC, blah blah, when the forums probably make up 5% of their target audience. It's quite apparent that 2k is targeting the arcade style players. The people who just want to get on and pay to play. The people who don't have the time to put in the man hours to put in the work or just who want to be the "best" right from the start.

They made it apparent that was the way they were gonna go on in 2k13, so I don't understand why people are still flustered.

VC is going nowhere. MyCareer and MyTeam will continue to be the focus since that's their bread and butter, and that's not changing any time soon.

NBA 2K15 has DRM "Always online" again

Says in the preorder bonus it says internet connected required

you do realize that you have to have online in order to redeem the codes right?

Go look at any ps4 game or hell any game you have period, that has online capabilities. It will say the same exact thing.

LD2K and Devs wouldn't understand why we hate VC, because they get unlimited supply of VC to spend. They don't view the game in the paying consumer's shoes. If they did, VC wouldn't even exist and the game would focus 100% on basketball simulation than microtransactions.

Bruh, you're missing the point it's about MONEY! Microtransactions/Season Passes are additional income for the company.

Let's not forget, In 2010 with the Draft Combine and MyPlayer, people cried like newborns cause it took your player Damn near a season or two to get a high overall rating. On this same forum, people said 2K should give us the option of leveling up our my players quicker, well, they did, and ran with it.

Personally, I don't play Ultimate Team with any sport, it's not appealing to me, but there appears to be a huge niche crowd that digs it and is willing to spend money on it.

What's laughable about this thread is the fact that all Triple A Titles have Season Passes, why would you think a sports game would be any different? They can't raise the price of the game $20, so they'll get $4 here and there when they can. It's the nature of sports gaming at this point. Name a sports game that's come out that hasn't mentioned some type of Ultimate Team/My Player stuff? My only problem with 2K is the VC for my OFFLINE Franchise, scratch that out, that's shouldn't be there.

Nice try, but you're wrong... Sports gamers typically purchase the game annually and pay $60 for little more than a roster update with a few new features (often inferior or troublesome). Occasionally we sports fans are graced with a refresh/remodel/new/etc. When this occurs, we get a half finished product for $60.

So, do you work for 2k or you just a little slow?

Seems 2K has taken a little heel turn I see

Their use of VC is evil. They know most people will just fork over 5, 10, 20 bucks instead of wasting days or weeks grinding for it. Your time or your money, or both--you lose no matter what.

I hope this MyTeam/Ultimate Team fad ends sometime soon.

lol its not ending, people literally spend over 1K on this game mode.. 2K is not going to remove it, they are making bank. Yesterday they released shoes for 25K and people actually bought it.

. You are onpoint with that post. Looks like VC is here to stay. NBA 2k is unfortunately the only sports game under the Umbrella of 2ksports(unless WWE is as well). This means they have to do what they can to drain every stinking drop of milk out of that cow by any means necessary. Its addition has really hurt this title imo and I don't blame the devs at all..Just the suits upstairs.

Re: Pre-Order NBA 2K15 and Get the KD MVP Bonus Pack

Come on, guys. 2K is being really generous with the pre-order bonuses. I mean, we're getting 5,000 VC. You can buy a whole Adidas arm sleeve with that!

You're selling them short. Don't forget about the leg sleeves. People are so ungrateful.

Re: NBA 2K15 Ships on October 7th, Pre-Order and Get the KD MVP Bonus Pack

2K priority list

1. VC
2. MyCareer
3. MyTeam
4. VC and limit your ability to customize
5. Did I mention no editing headbands on actual nba players
6. That GM Mode that we (2K) had to put in for the fools (Rocket) that love Association and controlling all the franchises to have a sim experience.
7. VC
8. VC to put in that GM Mode
9. Piss you off
10. Laugh at every post in this thread.

Re: NBA 2K15 Ships on October 7th, Pre-Order and Get the KD MVP Bonus Pack

They could give me a free copy of 2k15 and i wouldnt play it. 2k's priorities are in the wrong place. It doesnt matter how much they make from VC or myteam if i dont buy the game itself i cant buy VC. I know someone will reply and tell me this is the future of gaming no ones forcing you to buy it season pass blah blah. People control the future of gaming not companies, and after reading the complaints on this post alone, unless the news gets better by September 2k is going to find that out the hard way

Wow, condescending with the insult. Lol.

This isn't about a particular genre of games, it's about production cost, license fees, and getting more money.

The industry can't raise the price of games cause gamers aren't going for it, but they can go about it by getting extra money with Microtransactions, Season Passes, DLC, ect.

You think sports companies wouldn't like to get extra money like the Call of Duty's and Assassin's Creed' well maybe you're the slow one...Lol.
