NBA 2k18 - Another VC grind fest?

[SirGaryColeman]

The thing about the VC Grind in MyCareer is that it's not enough. Even if you buy $500 of VC, you still gotta grind for badges.

The grind has got to be changed or greatly reduced. The fact that you can't grind online, you have to load ridiculous Practice Sessions (all that loading), and pay VC for everything is a really tedious system.

Strauss Zelnick Take Two's CEO has come out in support of Microtransactions in of all their games. Rockstar games has it in GTA Online their sharkcards still brings Take Two a ton of money after 4 years and it's still going strong. NBA 2k also brings in a lot of money for Take Two through VC no way it goes away. I'm fine with VC as long as it's not very intrusive and not really forced on you as long as they don't go back to what they did with 2k14 where you had to pay VC to change your lineup in MyGM. We can already gain a good amount of VC if we play all the modes anyway.

did you play mycarrer last year? if so, you really didn't feel as if they wouldn't force it on you? again, mycareer was basically a mode built around vc grinding.

gta to me is a different thing. it never felt as if i had to grind to make money. 2k on the other hand...

It was always about money. You are kidding yourself to think otherwise

But to answer the thread of course and it's the course gaming is heading as long as these budgets to make and market games increase so will the ways publishers will have to entice people to pay more than the base price (honestly surprise we still pay $60 for games).

GTA also gives out tons of free DLCs, updates, and constant fixes.

The 2k grind is ridiculous. 2k's grind is harder than those online MMO RPGs and those games go on for YEARS....

In 2k, your dude is obsolete after 1 year if you want to continue to participate online, which makes the grind that much more punishing.

The punishing grind needs to be fixed... it doesn't fit in this game, and it is ruining the fun (videogames are supposed to be fun).

I just want a game where the focus is good, NBA basketball

I feel like those glory days are long behind us unfortunately.

So I had heard rumors that there would be no MyPark in 2k18, that the ELeague was replacing MyPark, any truth to these rumors? I haven't seen anything that says either way!

I don't know but I can see some kind of Jordan Rec Center from 2k15 with a Walk On mix.

Like pickup games with street clothes in an individual court (not with other courts and players playing in the background).
