    Attribute upgrades = SCAM

    So I upgraded my speed for 3,500 VC and it stayed the same.
    I upgraded my lateral quickness for 2,000 VC and it also stayed the same.

    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.

    You should post some screenshots before and after upgrading that show your current rating. If that’s true, it is a big issue.

        Its been like that in 2k17 as well . And it happens on certain attributes that get really affected by player creation options like weight and height.

        For instance certain archetype gets 15 speed upgrades, if u make ur player lightweight you will get upgrade on each point, but if u add bunch extra weight your speed has to end up lower . Of course they could just give less upgrades to buy if ur character creation ends up with nerfed speed, but instead they give u same amound of upgrades to buy while some of them being "empty" .

          This kinda makes sense but then why are you charging me VC for empty upgrades...

                ...well yes and no. There's a better way to do it. But if you saw builds and the same atchetype had 12 upgrades, but yours had 10, people would complain about bait and switch

                  I see your point, but as it is now, you literally have to pay VC for nothing in some cases. That is not right, especially when you consider how much it takes to upgrade and how little you earn for playing.

                    Not really. If you can explain the differences being due to height and weight, then I think people could rationalize that. But there's no excuse for making me pay alot of earned currency for absolutely nothing in return.

                      Exactly why im dissapointed. I played my *** off to get set of upgrades and paid almost 8k VC to upgrade 3 categories to only come away with 1 point better than I was. The other 2 categories stayed the same.

                          Totally agree. There's clearly a better way or more transparency that needs to be given as to "why" here.

                            I think the reason it's happening is the upgrades are increasing the stat by decimal amounts due to formulas for different heights, weights, wingspans, etc, and that particular upgrade doesn't push the decimal into the next whole number so it stays the same.

                              Great thread and a eye opener. Stupid question how do you check individual attributes rather then the main upgrade one where you dump your VC in ?
