Re: Virtual Currency frustration

I don't blame 2k for giving an option to buy VC points I blame the people actually buying it

Re: Virtual Currency frustration

THe VC system is a nice concept. they do give you 2 options. You can buy eveyrthing outright or you can earn it if you put time into the game.

Re: Virtual Currency frustration

If you only play My Player mode can you earn a decent amount of VC to progress your player? How much slower is it to progress compared to 2k12?

Re: Virtual Currency frustration

Seems to me that 2K is going along with the EA Madden mindset: "LOL! No competition AT ALL for three years running?! LMAO! Let's do the Madden thing in a similar way they do Ultimate Team, but make this thing called Virtual Currency. Yo, dawg, you know how our consumers love player accessories? Let's add different 'thangs' in Virtual Currency and give them an option to spend their hard earned money on silly things like shoe strings, wrinkles on player headbands, ripples on their wristbands and long shorts that are tight in the behind with the possibility of seeing a player's butt crack. That be nice, yo. Our customers will be handing us money for those monster features, mane!"

Oh lawd. I'm glad I've maintained the willpower to hold out so far this year (trust me, it won't last and I'll end up getting it at $35-$40) Yes, I realize that I'm going to get flamed and welcome all the e-shotguns that are about to be verbally pumped. I miss the days when there were 3-4 football games, and 3-4 basketball games (2K, Live, Sony's game (Shootout?) and Microsoft's game -- NBA Inside Drive). Selection and choices.

What game doesn't have the option to buy upgrades and improvements through the marketplace? I believe every game does now, especially sports games.

What gets me is that I see a lot of 90+ overalls on the blacktop and I almost know for sure they didn't "earn" it. I am almost HoF Status already and my guy is only a 72 overall. I've played the game a lot. And I just find it hard to believe people have played more than me and actually earned their currency. Granted I did spend a few for MyTeam, but it wasn't that much.

Re: Virtual Currency frustration

All I want is an official manifesto on what amount of VC is meant to be rewarded for each game mode.

Last night I was playing 1-on-1 Blacktop.
Game 1 - 160 VC
Game 2 - No VC
Game 3 - 160 VC
Game 4 - 10 VC

How does this make any sense at all? And even though I'm always connected to the server I haven't gotten any VC out of Association whatsoever, which makes me not even want to play that mode. With the same difficulty and rules, Quick Match gives me VC but Association doesn't? I feel like I would be better off boosting in coach mode, then actually playing the game. That's sad.

Please, some clarification.

Re: Virtual Currency frustration

In that case a all 99 7'3 vs nate robionson all day

I almost feel like they don't want people abusing 1v1 blacktop for points .

Because some games don't count at all .

Re: Virtual Currency frustration

If you have things to do during your days, just set up a 'Quick Game' for 12-minute quarters, then turn on 'Coach Mode' and then you can just let it run, but just make sure you press a button every 10 minutes or something, or else the controller will sleep. Takes about an hour, but you're not even playing, and It's free VC.

Re: Virtual Currency frustration

It works!!
just made Nick Young 7'6 with 3pt shooting 99, nate robinson 5'3
cash all day

[Joobieo]

Re: Virtual Currency frustration

250/10 = 5 min quarters
600/10=12 min quarters

VC I received doing coach mode .

The 10 is for winning the game .

A guy posted this on Smoove's video:

easiest way is to play the rookie showcase and do work, save and quit with like 5 seconds left. go back in, it saves your VC right before the interviews so just dashboard at the first interview. boot up the game again and you will see you got around 400 VC. keep doing it over and over. I got to 20,000+ in about an hour and a half.

How do you do this if you already played the rookie showcase?

Make a new MyCAREER, it won't overwrite your current save or anything, but just make a guy who you think can earn you the most VC. Like maybe a 3pt specialist point guard.

I won't do this though. I can't force myself to do things just for VC.

You can have as many as you want. I've already had 4 going at once. What you're thinking of is that you can only have one MyPlayer.
