Virtual Currency frustration

[JaYcLoBBeRiNgEm]

My thing is, the NBA Stars should already be unlocked on blacktop. Now I understand My Team, but blacktop?

Guess I will have to play online all time from now on lol.

We should earn much more money from online games. I suggest 500 VC per game (if you win). Right now I'm at 7th seed in MyTeam, and my team salary is 100VC, meaning I only earn 150 a game. THAT'S BARELY ANYTHING (and I have all bronze level players with 4 of them having a sig skill). I'm basically forced to try to exploit the game to get VC from other means (I haven't played more than 2 MyPlayer games because of the play vision glitch) and I haven't made an association for a long time.

That and reduce the damn prices of things.

Other games that have micro transactions like Uncharted 3 make it easy to acquire new weapons by buying them, but getting them in game is just a matter of playing a couple games. It seems like 2k is trying t force us into buying VC because just playing the game to get it is far too long

You should get more when you win, simple as that. +10 is it?

I don't mind the grind for VC, because all I use it for is MyTeam and MyPlayer for online blacktop. I wouldn't buy any accessories, clothes, etc. until you got your player where you want him. IMO the best way to have fun and get VC is play 3v3 blacktop. You get 160 if you win and the games only last 15 minutes or so.

I enjoy the grind though. I don't like being able to max out my player when the game hasn't even been out a week.

So I just turned my xbox off right there not to risk it. Looks like if you disconnect while playing myplayer just turn off your xbox. (unless it is saving and then by then you are too late.)

The best thing to do if you get disconnected is immediatly pause the game and try to reconnect. I've done that a couple of times and it worked perfectly fine for me. I think it checks your live status after every quarter but I'm not sure but i know after every quarter my downloads stop which usually happens when it goes live.

Lmao. Thanks for the laugh.

Seems to me that 2K is going along with the EA Madden mindset: "LOL! No competition AT ALL for three years running?! LMAO! Let's do the Madden thing in a similar way they do Ultimate Team, but make this thing called Virtual Currency. Yo, dawg, you know how our consumers love player accessories? Let's add different 'thangs' in Virtual Currency and give them an option to spend their hard earned money on silly things like shoe strings, wrinkles on player headbands, ripples on their wristbands and long shorts that are tight in the behind with the possibility of seeing a player's butt crack. That be nice, yo. Our customers will be handing us money for those monster features, mane!"

Oh lawd. I'm glad I've maintained the willpower to hold out so far this year (trust me, it won't last and I'll end up getting it at $35-$40) Yes, I realize that I'm going to get flamed and welcome all the e-shotguns that are about to be verbally pumped. I miss the days when there were 3-4 football games, and 3-4 basketball games (2K, Live, Sony's game (Shootout?) and Microsoft's game -- NBA Inside Drive). Selection and choices.

I don't blame 2k for giving an option to buy VC points I blame the people actually buying it

[tril]

THe VC system is a nice concept. they do give you 2 options. You can buy eveyrthing outright or you can earn it if you put time into the game.
