Re: Learning to Embrace the MyCareer Grind in NBA 2K19

Am I the only one who read this as devil's advocate mixed with parody mixed with tongue in cheek?

Quote:
“Skateboard costs 60k VC LOL”

That’s a lot of VC. Try walking. It’s free.

“2K how you gonna charge me 10k VC for shoes I made??

Did you hand-stitch those shoes yourself? Will you be playing barefoot without them? Yeah, you don’t really need those then. Keep grinding!

“How To feed MyPlayer – He keeps complaining at the end of games that he’s starving and how his old coach used to make sandwiches or something”

I….okay, not sure what to tell you here. I guess find a way to get him those sandwiches? That is, providing they don’t cost you any VC.
Sounds like the writer is having a bit of fun with us here.

I think the ridiculousness of the arguments against the criticisms are intentionally trying to highlight the reality of the situation - that it is all just a bit ridiculous how far VC has gotten. At least, in my opinion, if this is in fact a serious attempt at a rebuttal against the VC grind criticisms, it is indistinguishable from a parody of a 2K fanboy.

Re: Learning to Embrace the MyCareer Grind in NBA 2K19

It’s because of people and mindsets like these that we even have microtransactions in the first place.

“Embrace the grind”?
NO!!
What in the world is this?!

A FULL PRICED GAME SHOULD NEVER HAVE MICROTRANSACTIONS THAT AFFECT GAMEPLAY. EVER. NO EXCEPTIONS.

And what is the point of going through Metacritic user reviews of all things and commenting on why they are wrong in your opinion? That’s not journalism, that’s not what this site should have.
2k are greedy bastards who care only about how to squeeze more money from people’s wallets.
MyTEAM Loot Boxes, microtransactions, false advertising to make it seem XP is earned fast, you name it.

STOP ACCEPTING THESE SCUMMY THINGS IN OUR GAMES
I cannot believe this is actually okay by some people, thank you for ruining games.

Re: Learning to Embrace the MyCareer Grind in NBA 2K19

This article was clearly written by Ronnie2K.

Honestly the gameplay is great but VC has sucked the fun outta this game massively the last 2-3 years, now everything costs VC and a lot of it, I’m an NBA player that can barely afford haircuts (2K17), clothes, shoes or a scooter/bike? If I create a new character I’d need to buy everything again.

I understand upgrading ratings like shooting, ball handling and passing etc, but things like vertical, speed & quickness players come equipped with that natural ability, but having to pay for jump shots, moves, running styles around the neighborhood is overkill.

Re: Learning to Embrace the MyCareer Grind in NBA 2K19

This article is shockingly poor for an OS article. I'm in favor of microtransactions, because I understand it as a business model, but the return on your VC is so poor that it's actually just kind of insulting. Just like this article is kind of insulting to people's intelligence.

It's gonna be a Yikes from me on this one.
