    You keep saying that over and over like someone is disputing that point.. The point I'm making is, if you want to contribute to corporate greed, and destroy the future of video games in the process, call it what it is...


    Stop pretending like it doesn't affect us all, when it does...

      First off, wrong, another straw man. There's not a single post i haven't made that isn't a criticism? Dude spare me, i made a thread about favorite/least favorite things in the game where i wrote 5 paragraphs for cons AND *gasp* pros of the game. The thread died quickly though because a lot of people(not just me, shocking i know) were having problems with 2k14. Most of the threads nowadays are filled with criticism, but somehow im the guy who only criticizes? Please, take that exaggeration elsewhere(and what does that have to do with anything anyway) The reason i brought up you liking 2k(note i didn't exaggerate and say you're a fanboy or some nonsense) is because you literally tried to say people were saying something about "evil 2k" or just bashing 2k when people were explaining how a lot of people buying microtransactions and spending a lot of money in the game CAN affect others. You can deny it, but it really seems like you missed the point.

      I was actually was in this thread before and i responded to someone who was saying something ridiculous like "man some of you need to get jobs if you can't spend money on this mode" or something crazy like that. Funny thing is, you're rambling about tacking on or whatever, but i was posting in this thread before you were. By the same logic you're trying to use to say i just tack on criticism, i could turn around and say whenever there is criticism you tend to try to defend against it. That just doesn't work, stop.

      And nobody(myself included) said people couldn't spend money how they want, i(others) just pointed out how that can affect people for the worst in this case. I think that's the part you're misunderstanding completely, again. There's nothing to agree to disagree on because you're trying to imply that i said people can't spend money how they want. This isn't the first time you've misunderstood something and ran with it or taken things out of context either, you should read more carefully, just sayin lol.

      The "See all posts by" function speaks for itself,

      I read fine, it's just that not every one who disagrees with you is incapable of understanding a point....but of there's"nothing to agree or disagree on" , we're just typing about nothing at this point...so feel free to PM me if you feel the need to continue.

      Thread probably doesn't have much longer anyway.

        I keep saying it, just like you keep trying to drive home your over dramatic point, which I haven't even spoken on. I get your point, you get mine...so we can stop repeating ourselves...

        My take on what your saying is: it just is what it is....I could whine about how shoe heads waiting in line and overpaying for rereleased Jordan's will lead to more overpricing and money grabs (or could've whined, since we're past that point now)

        but there will always be people who are going to fork over their personal cash if they are willing to do so....we can not like it all we want...but that's the way it is.

          Gotta admit though, it's pretty ridiculous to spend hundreds of dollars on something as meaningless as that. Especially since Myteam is a pretty plain mode. There isn't much to it. You play cheesers who zone you all day on some low difficulty settings. Spending some real money on that seems pretty unreal to me.

          But nothing I can do about it off course nor do I really care since it dosn't really affect me.

              "VC rape" sounds just a tad bit over dramatic lol. I don't know about you guys but nobody is raping me.

                Its also pretty ridiculous that this game is gonna be irrelevant in a couple of months when 2k15 comes out and you'll have to start from scratch since u wont be able to transfer anything at least when u buy some nice looking jordan shoes u get to keep.

                  Eh, it's not that i think anyone who disagrees with me is incapable of understanding a point, i just think that you specifically tend to miss points. I've had logical debates with others on here. And other people in this thread have told you you're missing the point, so it's not just me.

                  And i mean, unless you're digging deep through the see all post, i'd say the only thing that speaks for is me talking about video games and boxing lol, if it was like you said it would be all "2k bashing(which is often what you call any criticism of the game by the way). You're reaching a bit. But, a better reference would be the see all threads post, surprisingly, my threads aren't all criticizing 2k, crazy huh?

                  Nothing really to PM about, it's just a debate. I agree this is getting off topic though. So i guess we can just sum this up as, you misunderstood and thought people were arguing that people aren't allowed to do what they please with their money. When in actuality people are just saying that a lot of people pouring money into this mode is possibly gonna make things worse fore everyone because it sets an example that people will in fact pay for vc despite all the complaints about it.

                    or we can sum this up as, you felt the need to get the last word and typed a paragraph about nothing, repeating what you've already said....I'm sure you'll jump on the middle of another conversation to tell me i'm missing the point in another thread in the future...see you then.

                      ^Sure man, if that makes you feel better. I mean like i said, you already had others tell you you're missing the point, it's not just me lol. And i was in this thread and discussion before you were. Let's move on now, it's over.

                      Anyway, to get back on topic, i have not and will not ever spend money in this mode, i'm sure that's pretty obvious by now. Question though, to the people spending good amounts of money in this mode. Why? What makes you do it? I'm not bashing you or anything, i just honestly don't understand why anyone would want to shell out 300-400$ for something that won't even carry over next year.

                        How much money have you spent on this mode?

                        definitely moving on, like I said, we've all been here a long time, and some things speak for themselves.

                        anyway, I do agree with jyoung said....I think the real issue is that the rewards aren't substantial enough to play the game without feeling the need to bring real $ into the equation. I probably had close to 80k VC just form quick games, tourneys, locker codes etc by the time I started really playing my team so I was straight....but seeing what you get as a result of progressing naturally now is pretty rough....I don't remember it being like that in 2k13. Like I said, I haven't bought VC since I almost lost $ last year, and probably won't again just off principle, but I'd be willing to drop some $ on something like how Live's UT is set up...

                        I know at one point I got JR Smith 3 times in a row opening packs....I would personably be pissed if I spent real doe on that, lol

                          It's normal for rape victims to be in denial... VC transactions invading every mode in the game is definitely rape in the first degree, and it will only get worse as idiots throw money at 2K for less...

                              And 2K is right to do it if people are willing to give their money away like that. I just can't grasp what the point of MyPlayer or MyTeam mode is if you completely remove the grinding aspect of it...

                              I don't get it, but smart business by 2K. And btw I've been playing a bit of myplayer on current gen and I don't think it's that hard to develop your player. I woudn't like it if it was even easyer.

                                I understand your frustration. I have never liked the concept of VC, have never spent any money on it and definitely don't like the direction the industry is headed with it. But with that being said, I won't insult anyone who does find value and enjoyment with VC. If it is fun for them, then have at it. I am sure that I spend money on things that others find to be a complete waste.

                                I understand that the consumers willingness to pay will exaggerate the sitation. But we could say that about a lot of things. I think the cost to go to a professional sporting event is crazy. I haven't been to one in ages. But I won't call someone an idiot because they go to a game.
