VC ratio is ridiculous.

I don't understand how they can have a Create a Shoe feature and then not even let you wear your own shoes unless you're willing to shell out an additional $7,500 VC.

The whole VC thing might be the downfall of NBA 2k. EA messed up their Live but if next year they polished Live and doesnt have this VC thing, many would jump out from 2k.

Yeah, it's ridiculous. You can't fully enjoy every aspect of the game unless you decide to spend extra money. I called this back when VC was first introduced and prices were more reasonable (500 VC for a Bronze pack), and so did many others. Now prices for sleeves, shoes and packs have all increased. I predict that they will only continue to increase.

Shame on you 2k...I actually hope NBA Live gets their act together and makes a solid game. The level of detail and content in this game is incredible, but unfortunately whatever team is responsible for managing VC prices has no respect whatsoever for the consumer.

The more I read the more I don't want this game. I really love 2k but now I'm on the fence. I think these non-basketball devs are ruinning this game. Its ashamed.

Unless someone can give me a great reason to buy this game I might not.

I personally dgaf about this VC uproar. I always spend $20-$40 dollars every year extra to purchase some VC and I spend it how I see fit. I mean, yes it sucks that you have to do that to fully enjoy the game but it doesn't really hurt my pockets.

But then again, I am employed full time and spending $80-$100 dollars a year on a game I fully enjoy for a good 10-12 months is good enough for me. My reasoning is that spending $80 to $100 a year on NBA 2k will in turn save me thousands by staying home and playing the game and not going out to the bar every other day to spend $100 dollars or so a night.

I can empathize with the rest of y'all but for me, this VC thing is almost a non issue. One way or another, everyone will soon have to accept that this is the new wave of gaming. It does suck but no matter how hard you guys cry and make noise about this, I just don't see any developers changing their stance on this. Micro-transactions is a very lucrative market and it's looking like that is where the future of gaming is going.

Only like two of them maxed out and lock down defender and I'm broke again. And guess what? I can't even play myplayer since it crashes the game now.

You confused the cause with the effect
Developer will not change their stance as long as people like you will keep giving them extra-money for micro-transactions

By the way, I like the "I always spend $20-$40 dollars every year extra to purchase some VC". Sounds like VC has been here for the last 5 years
