To me, it's like 2K putting a stripper pole in the game and saying it's a dancing apparatus

....because if no money is at stake, it's not gambling. That's like saying card games are gambling. There's nothing inherently bad about a free machine that only gives out prizes and no actual money changes hands. For actual gambling to take place, the person playing has to be risking something for monetary value. If there's no risk, there's no gambling.

Guess firehouses should be re-classified as strip clubs... even if there are no strippers present, the pole itself offends you. Wow.

Again, the only thing I'd say is don't gamble then

At the end of day...why does it matter? If you don't like it...don't play MyTeam. If you have kids and you think this will be a "negative" message to them, then guess what? Don't buy the game for them.

See how that freedom of choice works?

I'll take anything I can get to have 2k called out on their BS. MyCareer modes in 18 and 19 sucked because of how much VC they tried to suck out of you, they clearly made the game intentionally worse so that people would spend extra. I dont care too much what side of the argument you fall on these slot machines but I just want 2k to get more bad press, they clearly design these mechanics to get people to spend money not for them to have fun. If we kept building from 2k16, 2k could have been in an amazing place, but instead they went way further down the VC path and the game became a lot more unenjoyable (as a ProAM/Park player).
