The individual in the stream link did confirm that you earn more XP playing on higher difficulties in Career: the XP payout will increase (multiply?) with the difficulty.

You aren't forced to buy VC...that's a choice. You are in control over the choice. They even give you an option to play the game to acquire VC.

You don't have to buy VC...You DON'T. HAVE. To Buy. VC.

The design decision could have been made because they want you to play the other modes to EARN VC. Right? Or maybe that doesn't fit in with the sinister narrative about them being greedy.

I'm simply providing a counter point.
you said my idea of business is warped. then you made no steps to show how that is the case from a business standpoint. then you start talking about how I dont have to buy vc.

let me explain something to you.
You do realize you dont have to by brand name products from food to clothing to cars. Yet people do. Do you think just because customers dont HAVE TO buy these name brand products, the name brands are not doing everything in their power to get you to part with your hard earned money and purchase their products? If you say No. then you have no idea what you're talking about when it comes to business.

You do realize the people at the top have meetings every qtr, every 6 mos, and every year about "how can we increase revenue". They brainstorm and come up with a bunch of ideas on how the think they can reach their goals for the qtr, semi annually, and annually. these goals are usually tied to people's bonuses. and can be tied to your next pay raise or promotion. Now I'm not saying they have to be shady about it. But I'm saying lets not act like they can't be or lets not act like business havent been caught being shady. video game companys have been caught doing that for some time. not all but some. dont think 2k is not a business like other businesses. We're speculating on why would they do such a thing. And right now I can't help them. I can't think of one good legit non (i'm just trying to increase revenue ) reason to do that.

What that means for me as a career player, and whether the x2 HoF modifier has been scrapped, is just more guesswork.
Lol and that might be the last straw for me. The nickel and diming they're doing with VC is pathetic. This combined with the 100 VC "bonus" garbage from the app is absolutely disgusting.

What's the incentive to even play HOF anymore? Was the 1,200 or so VC I got from HOF too much? They had to nerf that too? Jesus, the 2x HOF modifier has been in the game for years. Are they hurting for VC that badly? This is utterly laughable.

I'd love to see what this mode looks like 5 years from now.

I think I'm just gonna skip myplayer and just play mygm/myleague and maybe play some play now online... I'm gonna skip out on all the modes that require you to spend VC to be successful... I bought VC twice last year... like 50 bucks total and I regretted it each time... I'd rather invest my money into another game to play because I know after the first month my interest for 2k is gonna wane a bit as we get deeper into the best time of the year for gaming releases... I kinda miss the old mycareer model... and if I want to play a career type of thing I'll just create a player insert him on a team and put it on player lock and boom... I get to wear any accessory I want, any hair style I want and any shoe I want without having to invest VC into it... I can even create custom shoes for my player and wear any brand that I please... that's my work around all of this BS 2k is pulling

Well 12k views here and not to mention the tweets and 2k forum posts. Looks like that's enough proof for the non believers that this move was a total money grab. And now it will be swept under the rug as the vc rakes in.

I don't know if you didn't read the whole thread, but Mike Wang said they're looking into fixing it. That's as much as we could have hoped for at this point.

Ya, I already figured they'd say that as it would trick people to think it's such a process, when it reality it just buys time to eat up the vc from the early players. Nothing new under the sun.

2K got me.

I tried following their spread sheet on the dribbling stats, it's not reliable.

Really bummed I wasted cash on this player. I probably will never spend money with 2K as openly again.
