Anyway it all been said before. VC has killed the Game
Wait a minute, what mode can't you play without VC?

And for the record, I would be happy if VC was gone. But it makes them a lot more money and at the end of the day, it's a business. 2K still delivers a great Bball sim and to me there's nothing game breaking or mode breaking that costs an absurd amount of VC that we can't earn by playing.

Hopefully that VC helps get that NFL license or patches.

MyGM From what I can tell require Big amounts of VC to fully enjoy. Considering I use every bit of my Earned VC to keep up MY player, to really fully play both modes it would seem to me at least that you would have to buy the VC which I WON'T DO.

Imma have to kinda disagree with this statement. A lot of the things in MyGM are affordable if we play the games. BUT, that takes way the ability to get though multiple seasons, especially since we can't change the season length anymore.

But I guess it's a preference thing, some people like playing all 82 games and getting through one or two seasons, but that defeats the purpose to me if the mode goes for 30 seasons. We don't make enough VC while simulating.

lol With Madden finally starting to show signs of promise, I'd rather 2k not make an NFL game IF they are just going to over saturate with VC. lol It'd just be a great looking and playing game that would charge for things like formation subs and jersey changes or something. But if you meant for the license to not be exclusive then I agree, competition is key

Re: Should Virtual Currency be an option?

Actually I do. You can play the mode in Domination without VC. I've never been prompted to buy VC in that mode. Matter of fact, you can play all of the game types in that mode without buying VC.
