An idea that might be able to fix the MyTeam Economy

[MR_BLACKMAGIK]

Most people are upset with the current state of MyTeam because of how difficult it is to earn MT. But the only reason we need so much MT is because of the inflated prices for rare players due to a few glitches. If people didn't have hundreds of thousands of MT by glitching, no one would sell cards for 400k simply because no one could afford to buy them!

So what if 2K updated the game and implemented a cap on how much you can sell a card for. There isn't any reason a card should be able to sell for 1 Million MT. It would be damn near impossible to earn that much through natural gameplay. So why not put a cap on the max price for every card? Somewhere around 150k maybe?

I know some people who have a lot of MT saved up will probably be against this, but not every did the glitches to get that much. I'm not even talking about myself. If someone were to start playing the game today, they could never dream of earning enough points to purchase one amazing Historic player, let alone multiple.

That would be an awful idea. What if you bought a Michael Jordan for 800k the day before they implemented this? And there's no reason to put a cap on cards if people are willing to pay more. Everyone feels entitled to have all of the best cards, even though the game is designed for only a small percentage of people to have them.

Re: An idea that might be able to fix the MyTeam Economy

There is really one solution this year and this can not change for 2k15 version.
Reset accounts of everyone that glitched. All the rest are plain patches that would fix one thing and screw over another thing.
2k right now is losing money from packs, because yes it is is the only way that you can accumulate MT, but on the other hand buying a superstar (like Hakeem Jordan etc) from the AH with these highly inflated figures is just impossible therefore making the pack-buying unworthy. However we should realise on thing, I have been playing FIFA UT for many years and I have faced only 10-20 players having messi and even less having C.Ronaldo. In 2k15 everyone from seed 5 and onwards has a superteam. There is no tactic needing to build your roster. Why trying to find 4 forwards that supplement each other when everyone can have Durant. What I am saying is that I am really tired playing against same players all the time. Every team seem to have players only from the below list
LBJ, Durant,Curry,Jordan,Bryant,Klay,Davis,Howard,Wilt, Russell,Malone,Drexler,Carmelo,Harden,Hakeem,Mulli n, Lillard etc.
90% of the teams consist of the above players. Noone uses Jefferson, Rondo, Rose,Horford,Wade even if they are franchise players. So there are close to 1000 players on myteam and we see only 20 playing. It would be nice to play around with a bigger variety of players and once in a while face a LBJ or a Durant. If this would be the case then you would also realise that you are playing against a superstar, as something unique.
Right now if I face a team in seed 4 with Gold Lillard,Gold Geoge,Gold LBJ,Gold Durant,Gold Howard I kind of feel that is a "weak" team in a sense that it doesn't have all these onyx and ruby super-versions which is kind of silly.

One of the best posts I've seen on here.

I have a superteam too but that last line rings very true. I usually consider games against that team an easy win and that shouldn't be the case.

Re: An idea that might be able to fix the MyTeam Economy

I just started a couple weeks ago and prices seem reasonable low. Playing fifa really puts it into perspective of how lucky you guys are with low prices.

In fifa you get 500 coins a win and there is 120 players over 500k and some reach 15 million.

Don't take FUT as an example, their market is even more broken then the market in 2k15. You can't make snipes unless you use a autobuyers that recognize low prices within a few seconds and automatically buy it. Bargain players are already gone before you even realize how much they cost. Also, many "companies" are selling coins and use bots to acquire them. Players like Xavi are worth nothing compared to their stats, the price difference between very good players and elite players or legends is way to high. You can buy like 90% of the players for less then 300k, the rest goes for > 1 mio.

My hope is, that in 2K15 people will start to realize that their prices are way too high and they will go down. Who buys McGrady for 900k to 1000k? So unless you are willing to lower your prices, you'll have to live with the fact that you won't sell those kind of players.

Maybe the best solution would be, if 2K starts to buy all the cards for limited players and auctions them four less MT. Some players would get a lot of money with this but still, 2K can always offer the lowest prices. Maybe they should also stop offering past onyx players in packs.

Another solution could be to make packs temporarily available for MT only, so players who used glitches will lose MT on packs.

No one can take anyone serious that says "1000 K".

The game has an achievement/trophy for completing the 14-15 Collection AND another for completing the Historic Collection! I understand not everyone cares about achievements or trophies, but if they are in the game, they should be obtainable. I believe 2K originally planned them to be obtainable, but after all of the glitches that allowed people to amass so many points, they simply aren't any more.

I do understand your point about buying a card for 800k and then having the update come right after. I guess a way to circumvent that would be for 2K to announce when they will do it. That will people will know not to buy players until after the update.

Even if they make an announcement a lot of people will get screwed over. It'll just be the people who buy right before the announcement. There is no way to really fix it right now other than the following, and I don't think these would even have much of an impact.
1. Lower price of contracts/increase length of contracts
After paying for contracts, an online game hardly earns you any MT
2. Making MT rewards for winning games online
Similar to how in MUT you can win like 10000 per season in addition to the game rewards.
3. Make solo challenges with decent MT rewards for winning, and make a lot of the challenges.
4. Maybe add a historic domination
This will allow common players a chance at pulling a 90+ legend in a pack.

The contracts are brutal. They need to come down in price. It's the worst!

I'm sorry, I don't speak english natively and thought it was a common way to say 1 Million but besides that and you being a smartass, is that all you read out of my post? I made a constructive suggestion, you were just trolling. If you don't have anything else to bring to this conversation then you better stfu.

Re: An idea that might be able to fix the MyTeam Economy

First I want to say that I like it that not everyone has Jordan, Onyx Kobe, etc. 2K even said that they don't want everyone having the same team. From the post earlier..about the same 20 guys you always see...Wilt, hakeem, Lebron, Durant...etc. It is is completely true.. I mean theres literally SO many combinations you can make to have a unique team...but somehow this is the lineup you most likely will encounter sooner or later. Lebron, George, Melo, Durant, Dwight/Shaq/Hakeem etc.... Lets be real...is Jordan THAT much better than Lebron and Durant(in 2k)..Go look on the AH right now..and see how many LBJS and Durants there are. It's ridiculous. These players need to be RARE. Then you have the cheesers putting Lebron at Point Guard..thats another thing altogether! Last thing I will say... I'm pretty active in the twitch community.. I watch a lot of streams...and some of these broadcasters have Millions of MT from the glitch......But we are struggling to buy Monta Ellis and Josh Smith. The Auction House is completely broken and I'm afraid it will stay like this. 2K is getting our money..they got yours, they got mine...and It is what it is.

Re: An idea that might be able to fix the MyTeam Economy

I have LBJ at PG and I am not ashamed at all about this. It is call adjusting to 2k. Since it is very easy once you had built all 16 collections that gave you 25k (you complete one, than you got 25K than you sold, then you did another, all you needed is a player from pack that costed more than 40k, it was easy in the beggining) you can find fantastic guard/forwards like Ruby Kobe, durant etc. So since LBJ is a better passer and dimer from most PG, why waste some of the above on the bench? LBJ IS the best PG in nba2k15. I understand that this should not be the case but it is. It is the same case that you can not score 30 points with a center. You should be able to, but you are not? So what do you do? You continue feeding the post? No, you adjust.

Re: An idea that might be able to fix the MyTeam Economy

If you are starting LBJ at the Point, you can expect my lockdown Scottie Pippen to match him up and shut him down because he also has a 86 passing IQ.
