I think of it as paying for the opportunity to max out your player.

That's 5,500 VC for absolutely nothing.

I am now checking before and after attribute every time i upgrade myplayer.


Its messed up that i play all that time to "earn" my upgrade and then get absolutely nothing for it while shelling out VC.

too much shadiness in this game.
I may be wrong but some attributes don't raise the actual number sometimes. Again this would only pertain to buying ONE bar/upgrade in each category.

You've seem to have bought two,how many bars did you GO UP and buy?
5,500 VC may seem like alot but since last year.. that's what it's about..$$.

Those two attributes you bought may not have a major effect on the player..due to the player you may be creating.

PG has good speed already so upping one bar might not add a point to his overall..and maybe and maybe dribbling/ball handling might be another.

I don't know what you exactly upgraded but the ones that matter and up your overall the most is the ones that aren't truly a PG strength ..say rebounding..strong defense.

I could be wrong 2k could glitched in that area..or maybe they're trying to milk you more by not upping the attribute when you buy something.

Honestly I believe 2k17 was just like this, but $25nof real dollars to VC could get a very good player and this is year I believe just to get to an ,80 overall..I'd about 190k in VC...that's way TOO MUCH.

Did you get the free 10k when you ordered? I believe that was included everyone who who bought just the regular edition.

Re: Attribute upgrades = SCAM

I can understand if your final upgrade gave you nothing new, but don't see the logic as to why you need a new attribute every level🤔

I don't know how you don't see the logic in that.

Think of it like a old school rpg since when you level up your only making progress (not necessary getting a +1 every level)

Or think of it as paying a fee for absolutely nothing because their upgrade system wasn't well thought out/planned.

You can quickly see this situation by starting an offline mycareer. It's a quick way to check attributes to an 85 overall without having to view cutscenes, etc. But you can also quickly see that tall builds, or at least tall, heavy builds (haven't made a light one) have about half of their speed, acceleration, vertical, and lateral attribute blocks raise exactly zero points.
