That's my fault. I didn't understand that you meant you could earn 30,000 virtual coins by actually just playing the games in your MyGM for a few hours without any simming. That seems kind of crazy. How did you pull that off?

I will say BS...because I have done this for a couple hours and didn't get near 30,000VC. More like 14,000VC and I know this because I actually did it last night.

that's the team I pick all the time since someone had mentioned this trick a while back. No way in hell you're getting 30,000 in a couple of hours. The math doesn't add up since it takes anywhere from 3-5mins doing the sim and most of the time it's 5mins if you want to get the most VC for the season.

EDIT oh and then count the times when you don't get anything when you sim a season

wow...i said in a few hours as in say anywhere from 6-12 you can earn 30k off simulating it alone if you complete the goals which are not hard to do

if you want to play 25-30 games for that 30k VC go ahead im not doing that

Are you exiting every 2 seasons and starting over? if you continue onto 2016 and on you won't get anything

I'll chime in on this one. I have no problem with VC or microtransactions if implemented correctly. Using VC for myteam and mycareer is ok with me. Where 2k needs to put on blast is when they lock basic functions of the game behind VC.

The fact that 2k is attempting to nickel and dime people this way is disheartening.

Now it seems to be ruining one of my favorite franchises. Its sickening that 2k hasn't addressed this at all. Noone asked for VC here, so some of you defending it and saying "I don't mind VC.." stop it. VC was pretty much thrown on us. Yes, some of us dabbled with it but that doesn't mean we wanted it or wanted it implemented in every gamemode controlling routine tasks such as setting rotations? ugh

That's one of my biggest questions throughout all of this. Who asked for Virtual Currency? Of all the wishlists and feedback through the years, I cannot recall a clamoring along the lines of, "You know what? I think we need a really, really corny storyline in MyPlayer that forces all of us to take the exact same path. And you know what else? I'm tired of players getting paid with real salaries and I hate earning a lot of cool things while I play. I just wish there were some sort of alternative currency system that could take the place of money and really restrict my experience..."

It kind of reminds me of the Association alterations as well. I don't really recall "Less Control and make us pay golden coins for everything" making the cut atop consumer wishlists.
