Can we have real contracts patched into MyCareer?

How was it that having no contracts in the mode was egregious, but this is ok? It's just as unrealistic as no contracts at all....except it did away with separate skill points, and it's just one universal currency for attributes, sig skills, accessories, popularity boosting events, Blacktop stuff, suits, everything. It just doesn't fit in MyCareer.

You know what? The could have just ADDED VC to our salaries in addition to real monetary amounts to help with immersion, and added VC costs to special events/camps. Problem solved.

Most of us would have overlooked the silly bag of coins bonus if we were also given immersive real life trappings.

I'm not even as mad about getting paid in coins...it's something I see once in a while and I can mostly ignore. It's the fact that we can't wear any shoe we want unless we have a deal with them that is annoying to me. Also how we can't get any accessory without buying them. These things are provided by teams to players for free, not something they have to buy. They should make us buy things for the blacktop guy or buy your suits, but anything on the court should be free like it always has. And we should have access to any shoe we want as well, these things annoy me.

You know what? That's a very good point. To be honest, I don't even care all that much about having to use VC to buy accessories, or the bloated cost of those accessories.

I would have been absolutely fine with the old system, with an allotment of VC added to each payday, and those coins were specifically for gear and ****. If I had to play out an entire season to earn enough VC to get a headband and a sleeve...I would have done that. But only if I had skill points to spend on getting better, and regular $ to spend on animations and signature skills.

People would have complained...but the complaints would have been "it takes too long to earn enough VC to get clothes and pre-game rituals." To which the answer would have been "develop some patience, or buy the VC."

But what if the complaint is "the single universal currency kind of annihilates the immersion...especially when you can earn it IN GAME, IN THE MODE, and there's no real alternative?"

I guess my answer is to not play the game, which I can live with, but that's bad business 2K.

VC currency is my biggest, and one of my only, complains about 2K13.

Isn't he complaining about real life details being missing from the game? I don't get your point.

If you consider regular contracts for MyCareer players a "real life every minute detail" then 2K12 had "real life every minute details" in it, but it was just inexplicably removed for a system that seems to be geared towards generating micro-transactions.
