As far as the future of gaming...as long as it doesn't get to the point where we HAVE to buy anything to enjoy the game, I'm good.
"Already on the disc" means the players and models you're buying exist on the disc from day one, and you're only buying into some aesthetic about a "card collection". It's a scam, and buying into it only gives the scam legitimacy...

By this logic, all DLC is a scam though..

I get what this guy is saying. Idk if I necessarily agree with him but I get his point. You're paying extra money but you're not actually adding any sort of content to the game. There's plenty of DLC that actually adds content so idk how you think he's saying that.

A lot of DLC is actually. Any DLC that's actually already on the disc is no doubt a rip off.

You'd be surprised man, people will buy anything. I wouldn't be surprised to see people dropping a lot of money next year to get the same players. Sometimes people are impulsive, and they don't think logically like that. Impulse buys will definitely be a factor IMO. Also not to mention they will no doubt shut down the servers to force some people who don't want to.

I'm not understanding what seems to be the problem with this thread, your not forced to by VC for Myteam, i've seen players who have worked for their cards and far superior gamers then people who bought it all. There is no disclaimer that states you must buy VC to play the game mode. EA sports does the exact same method, and Gaming as a whole will evolve into monetizing their product. It's here for the long run, it's a sports DLC. There are tons of other game modes to play. If 2k were to charge you to play a quick match online then you would all have a point.

The point is we're heading that way.... The more money you give them for nothing, the greedier they get, the more they invade our lives with these micro-transactions... It's going to cost VC to play an Offline Quick Match soon....

Not really... Not all DLC is already on the disc...


Do you understand the ability to play a game as Jordan came with the $60 price tag, and you can do that, and edit his attributes any way you want right now?...

But you have people willing to pay $100 more to get a "Diamond Jordan", that's basically the same content you can already access, and edit to your liking?...

The card aesthetic, and the ability to play other idiots online makes it different tho, right?...

By this logic we should be making fun of everyone who buys expensive basketball shoes because there is cheaper ones, or buys BMW's when you can buy a used chevy for much cheaper....
