How do we even know this has anything to do with real money?

Perhaps you win some sort of online "cash" or "coins" that you can only get online and you have to use those? Like I said in my previous post (which everyone seems to have ignored), the option to "buy wins" was blocked off at the lower two tiers that were shown in the video.

Everyone is really getting angry over something we know basically nothing about. Let's just wait for some real info on it before we start claiming 2k is just grabbing for cash.

I think this just means you slip the ref a 20 in his back pocket so that you get a few extra calls here and there.

I thought VC was an awful concept. Micro transactions really have taken over the industry and they not even trying to hide it anymore lol. How about I just pay 2K to literally play for me?

So you'll probably have to earn your way up there first. Then if you have some issues or what not you can "buy" the wins you'll need to keep your rank.



Probably cost you a certain amount of VC if you want to do it.



This is all still up in the air everyone. No need to get all riled up yet.



Edit:



Looks like each level you need a different amount of wins to reach the next level, but you only get a certain amount of games to win those.



Freshman: 5 wins, but you get 12 games to do it.

NBA/HOF: 8 wins, 10 games to do it.



After seeing all that, I can't imagine 2k would allow someone to just "buy" their way up the ranks.

There was a day long outrage because some one made an off hand comment about the possibility of my MJ looking the same in another thread....

You aren't going to convince anyone to use any logic here....that's "fan boy" talk. Rage first ask questions last

We just have to wait and see what they say. ..I hear you though, what you mentioned is what I'm thinking it means...

If it is indeed the worst case scenario ill gladly light my torch along with everyone else though....

I'm not a huge fan of microtransactions either...However, if they didn't have them they probably could not afford to sign more legends, they also might not be able to afford other brandings (socks) or other things..so do I like them? no...are they a necessary evil to keep pushing the game, yes. Buy away.
