    Update 3 (November) News

    Hi folks,


    I wanted to give you an update about our Update 3. I know there have been lots of questions so hopefully this will answer them for you.


    Yesterday, we began rolling out Update 3 on the Google platform. The Amazon and iOS platforms will get the update as soon as those companies review our submission. Update 3 contains three major new features: Rivals Clash, Pick and Win, and NBA 2KTV. We cannot turn on RC and P&W until the update is available on iOS and Amazon. You can enjoy NBA 2KTV though right away. The first Rivals Clash will begin as soon as the update hits.


    We did update the photos today for dozens of players. This is mostly players that changed teams before the Season began and hadn't played a game yet in their new uniform, or players that we used media shots for and now have pictures from actual games. Hopefully you enjoy the new photos.


    The new update does restrict use of the NBA 2K15 side of the game to those that have played NBA 2K15. This is intentional and it was a bug before that was allowing players to use features on that side of the app without having started NBA 2K15. This led to players thinking they had gained VC, when in actuality they hadn't. Fixing this problem will reduce the confusion on why VC isn't being earned.


    We also now explicitly tell you which platform you're logged into for NBA 2K15. If your account is linked to multiple platforms you'll be able to tell where your VC is going now. The platform will appear next to your logged in name on the main menu button.


    I'll post up more official notes when the update hits the street for iOS. Hopefully that happens in the next few days. Post in this thread if you have any questions about the update.

      1. You said we won't be able to use the daily lottery anymore if we do not have NBA2K15. What will happen to the credits we've already earned from the daily lottery? WILL THEY BE TAKEN AWAY?

      2. If they are not taken away, what happens if I buy the game AFTER the update has hit? I know that all VC will be lost, but will the credits also be lost then?

      I would really like to know that...

        Glad to see RC coming so soon, I thought it was coming next year for some reason lol. I have a couple of questions though.

        1. When we draft cards after winning games in RC, are they specific to our tier or can we earn cards outside of our tier? For example, if I'm in UR tier and I play a RC game, can I draft an epic card from that board?

        2. This is unrelated to this update but is there any ETA on the Auction House?

              It's not so much that the VC is lost, it's that it never was really there. Since you didn't have a NBA 2K15 account, that VC was basically not depositing to an account. You need to have a NBA 2K15 account for the VC to get credited. It's why many (not all, some have a different issue with "lost" VC) were reporting their VC not being received.


              If you're not able to transfer VC from app to game once you start a NBA 2K15, make sure that on the main menu after you login with your PSN, XBL, or Steam account, that the correct platform is shown next to your name (e.g. if you logged in with PSN it shows Playstation 4, if you're playing NBA 2K15 on the Playstation). The VC will be going to the platform shown on that main menu.


              If you're still having problems then send in a Feedback ticket with the following 5 questions answered:




              1 - Have you rebooted your console since earning VC?


              2 - How much VC does it show on the App? (screenshots to verify this are always nice)


              3 -How much VC does it show that you have on the console?


              4 - What is your gamertag/PSN ID? Do NOT send us your password. We do not need or want your password.


              5 - (After Update 3 releases) When you log into the app, is the console identifier shown on the My Game button the same as the console youre comparing yourVC totals to?

                Credits that you have won from it, are not taken away. VC that you won will be reset to the starting value once you start your NBA 2K15 account on the console (I think they start you with 100 VC, but I'm not 100% sure).

                  1. Cards drafted are always tied to the tier you're currently playing in. That means the deck you're using is in Ultra Rare, the highest card you can win from the Draft Board is an Ultra Rare. Another example, if you have cards that put you in Epic, but do not play them and lower your tier to Super Rare, then the rewards from the Draft Board will be no higher than Super Rare rewards.


                  2. The Auction House is in the next update, Update 4, which is our major focus now that Update 3 is rolling out. The best I can tell you is soon. We have all of it functional, but we're testing the snot out of it right now.

                      If I may comment, I feel that the only thing this update does is penalize those who do not have the console game from earning daily credits and drafting player cards and enhancements. VC is still "earned" through daily quick game play. It's not like the VC that was never earned is valuable to non-console players. But not being able to get daily credits is a huge disadvantage.

                        It was never intended to allow players to login to the Daily VC Bonus without a NBA 2K15 account. The fact that you could was a bug. It worked the same way last year with MyNBA2K14 too.


                        The other way to look at it is that for a few weeks you got an extra bonus of Credits. If you want to keep using the lottery then go start an NBA 2K15 account just like last year's app.

                          I thought I already signed up for an account at the 2k website. Where am I supposed to go to sign up for a 2k15 account?

                            That is such a BS answer. What does having nba 2k15 have anything to do with credits used in the app? This game gives nothing for free. I've been grinding everyday to build my credits so that I can one day buy a pack that MAY contain a legendary card and it is very disappointing to see you guys stop this. Your company has always been quick to do updates as soon as possible to keep the users from attaining something earned in the game. Who care about the TV update part of it. It means nothing and I can't believe time was spent on that before getting Rivals Clash or the Auction House set up.

                            Folks this company is so cheap that it spent it's time taking away a small advantage for the users first before giving you the whole game. What does that say about these guys? They don't want you to grind through the games. They want you to spend $20 on imaginary cards. What do u get for that $20? A CHANCE at getting a legendary card. Anyone know how many real cards you could have of these legends rather than a card that you will have zero use for in a year. Don't keep giving these guys anymore money. They are laughing at you.

                              Go to a friend who has nba 2k15 set up a new account and play for 10 - 20 min?

                              Thats the only way I see out of this problem
