Did We Get Bamboozled?

Jim Sterling had another look at the fee to pay model. It's unfortunate none of the reviews for 2K14 mention the microtransaction model that has spread into every aspect of the game.

I hear you bro. The VC is disappointing on how they did it and how they valued it, really disgusting. I don't mine paying for VC's but Jesus, why so much?

[WarlordZMaster]

Yes, yes and again yes. Too much VC, VC price of alln-game items is unreasonable. VC is in ALL game modes. The game is missing modes. I will give them a couple of weeks to fix this game, and if there is no change I will buy back 2K14 for the 360 and NEVER buy another 2K product. Greed is so infuriating! I have contacted Tech Support and Customer Support, all of you need to do the same, push and prod, scream like hell and vote with your wallets to be treated fairly. I paid $60 for this lacking garbage!

Downward spiral has started and will continue until NBA live becomes competitive and takes back the market share. 2 of the modes are damn near impossible to play without VC and the modes that don't need VC are totally screwed and neglected (online quick game/lgs)

Note to self: What ever LD2k or Ronnie2k mention, lower your expectations to half of that.

Year after year its always the similar problems.

Just like in the 2011 Dunk Contest, LD2k & Ronnie2k are like Kenny Smith and the game itself is Blake Griffin- all flash but no substance (i.e., OVERRATED) ...

I like the core game. It's actually quite good.

But anything that's presented as "mindblowing", "game changing", or will "make you forget about other modes", expect it to be one of the more underwhelming and forgettable additions-- ie. The Park and Crews, perhaps two of the biggest missteps this year, and the whole Jay-Z treatment last year.

Though I suppose The Park might actually be fun if it's fixed, but it's basically more Blacktop without leaderboards or the ability to form teams with friends in the form of a neat but seemingly shallow tech demo.

It's the official, big announcements that don't get the teasing and hinting treatment that are usually worthwhile, like MyCareer and MyGM. Sure, not everyone likes the changes, but they're definitely huge and properly implemented could be phenomenal.

MyGM is broke, the goals don't work. Says sign a sixth man blah blah blah. You sign one and it still says goal failed. That's just one of the problems. I can write a 20,000 page manuscript of problems with this game.
