I'm not lecturing anyone. I gave my opinion on the article which I found interesting. You're free to have an opinion on myleague. I don't own it.

I hope OS gives you the modship that you so clearly crave, but calling out guys for "bitching and moaning every day" before then inferring that we're all babies with victim mentalities (poor us, greedy companies) goes a little beyond giving uneducated opinions on modes you don't play.

There is absolutely ZERO reason that this year's iteration of the game doesn't have a mode that is identical to the mode that the E League qualifiers got to play in 2K18 where you got to pick premade archetype players to play games. Imagine if other games that were trying to build their name up as a serious E League game forced you to pay a $20-$50 entry fee just to be able to be somewhat on the same level as the other ELeague prospects. Imagine if in Call of Duty you had to pay 20 bucks just to be able to use that nice M8A7 that all of the other players are getting to shoot and play with. Or if there wasn't such thing as a private match and they had to grind to max level just to be able to equip all of the guns and perks that everybody else is using. There's literally no other reason except for greed that 2k19 doesnt have a similar private match system with fully unlocked archetypes to play with.

It's funny, the author of this article plays these modes and gave his take on the grind. Another poster posted about how he doesn't mind paying because he doesn't care for the grind and just wants to have fun. Their opinions don't matter though because they aren't complaining, do they? Stop acting like your anti VC/grind take is the only one. It isnt. If I did play these modes and cared enough I'd just buy the dang VC and be done with it. But that's just me...

I actually like to play and enjoy my games. I'm only here to get more enjoyment out the games I play. I'm good on the mod, tip. I know nature of the Internet is to complain and moan. Stop getting so worked up over an opinion. I don't expect nor care to change your or anyone elses mind.

You have to literally go into a casino and spin a roulette wheel to get your daily bonus. That right there should tell you something about how this game is targeting it's customers

VC is garbage and is ruining what is otherwise an excellent series. We as fans need to stand up to 2k and let them know this trend is NOT OK. Other excellent games don't have these predatory microtransactions. Newsflash to the 2k community - you are allowing this happen to yourselves (especially when people write articles titled "How to Embrace the Grind").*

For the first time in over a decade I didn't buy 2k this year. The only way this will get fixed is if fans stop purchasing it.

If you read the page previous to this one, I actually addressed some of the things he raised in a specific yet non-confrontational manner because he obviously plays/played the modes on which he's pontificating. In that very post, I even credit 2k for increasing the VC you can earn this year.

I'm just baffled as to why you would turn up in threads about things that don't concern you, and your first impulse is to discredit or make sly digs at people that have genuine issues with elements of the game you dont ever have to face? Let me repeat that, you turn up in threads aimed at VC/grind issues and play "devils advocate" constantly in favour of their practices.

Would anyone who doesn't play battlefront defend EA's approach to microtransactions and attack the actual players of the game without actually experiencing what they were talking about? Of course not, and yet here you are...

I can imagine the holy hell that would rain down on the first mypark player to go into the simnation thread and call them bitchers and moaners because a play that the bulls ran once in the 90's isn't in the game.

I'd like this 20 times if I could.
