    I think I've determined earning VC is set on a timer

    Was trying to farm some VC using Blacktop. Played my first game, got the 150 coins. Then I finished 2 more, earned nothing. Finally, got 150 more on a fourth game.

    After the fourth game ended, I happened to look at the clock and realized that 10 minutes had passed since completing the first game. So I waited ~8 minutes, started another game. Made sure I didn't complete it until the 10 minute mark.

    Sure enough, I got 150 VC. I think 2k might have a timer system in place on their server to prevent people from trying to exploit earning VC in various methods. So you can only get 150 VC every 10 minutes from Blacktop.

    Might be the cause for why people aren't getting VC every game of Association either. Possibly, you can only get VC in association every hour. I'm not sure, haven't tested it.

    Are you sure it wasn't cause you were playing Blacktop OVER AND OVER, not playing a different mode cause that's what most people would answer.

      This can't be right because earlier today the first thing I did was to play Blacktop Mode and I didn't even get anything.

        I get 150 +10 for winning on every blacktop mode. Might be doing rematch which doesn't work or something is wrong on your part.

          Just played after letting it sit for another 10 minutes. Got 150 VC again.

          Nope, quit out to the main Blacktop Menu every time. Multiple people say they don't earn VC for every game of Blacktop.

            I play 12min qts for my association and this what i done yesterday. I went to a game in my association and left it on pause for awhile and quit then i got coins. Don't know about everyone else but it seem like they do it if you been playing a long time as in what they did for your Jordans where you unlock them based on how long you played back on 2k11

              And again, waited 10 minutes to complete a Blacktop game. Got 150 VC.

              My guess is the only want to consistently earn VC every game is by playing the two modes that you spend it in, My Career and My Team.

              Then you earn VC set on a timer in modes that you wouldn't be spending it in.

                  Yeah. Works consitently for me as well. Glitch maybe? I think 2k really ****ed this whole VC thing up. But maybe you HAVE to change the guys youre playing with. I always switch from my player from MyCareer to Richardson. Just keep shooting from downtown. 4 Minutes Gamplay.
