Preach.

Sadly in 2015 with the current video game landscape we will no see this change.

In fact, it will likely get even more ridiculous with micro-transactions and pay to play models.

One thing we all have to keep on mind is that, at the end of the day, 2k's real job is to generate profit. Sure they also want to make the best basketball game, but profit is #1. Think about it: 2k makes x amount of millions of dollars just selling the game. Then they realize they can make even more millions of dollars off the same people who already put up $60, by adding all the micro transactions.

I personally hate it, but I fully understand why we are seeing this game go down the path it's going down. The problem is, it's never enough for these companies. Every year since 2k started these micro transactions, each release has seen an increase in available items/categories that you can spend real money on. The question is, when is 2k going to cross the line to where us as customers become resentful? Some would argue that line has been crossed already.

Agreed. Pay-to-play is not going anywhere. It's far too lucrative and 2K doesn't cross the line when it comes to balance. Yes, you can buy your way to an 88 but we all know there's a huge difference between an 88 overall player and a 95 overall. It's not perfect but it works.

NBA Live 16's upgrade system is superior to 2K's. Let's face it, even though it's what we all wanted from 2K, NBA Live suffered financially from that model (along with other issues of course). 2K introduced a model that's here to stay. If I could make a suggestion to them, I would still allow pay-to-play but for it to only allow your player to reach the mid to high 70s instead of the mid-to-high 80s.

The real problem in MyPark isn't the VC-to-upgrade-your-character system, which isn't great, it's the people who have set all their stats to 99 regardless of their position. It's a lot easier to win when you don't have to worry about things like "contested shots" or "poor ball handling" getting in the way of you getting to the basket.

Also the 7'3'' PG I ran into last night. That was pretty cool.

The second you see a 7'3 pg you need to screen shot it and make a thread, plz. That's something I'm not willing go go though again.

Bravo!!! Finally somebody with the the guts to tell it like it is, now 2k how about focusing on how to teach people how to play the darn game instead of trying to hustle every dime & nickle out of ppl. How about putting the training camp mode back in. That way ppl can lear the basics of offense & defense, but the reason 2k took it out was because, IT DIDN"T MAKE ANY MONEY!!!!, My player, my team, bs as it is makes money & thats whats sad,

I kind of wished that you could develop the attributes solely off of the off day training (where the performance added +2 to your stats or attribute blocks instead of being a pay to play good system)


There are some merits to this system which allows you to make another position and boost his atts to 88 overall instead of having to grind to get to 88.

Really the game has barely even came out and people are complaining about a grind. Glad you didnt play any of the old school MMORPG, probably eould have gotten them ruined. This mass crying is why world of warcraft has dominated. They took a great genre and made it easy mode. Now the genre sucks.
