    Robbed Out of VC.... Again

    SMH! I finally hit Tier 3 with Nike after my Sophomore season, and I'm thinking great I can get my custom PE's for free. That wasn't the case, even though below the shoes it says "0 VC" it charged me 7.5k each. I didn't realize it because the animation where you see the amount of VC dropped didn't happen.

    Long story short, I spent 85k+ on "free shoes".

    Yea, custom shoes aren't free in MC. Not sure if it's a bug, or a money grab. But it sucks.

    I came in at comp. lvl 3 with Adidas, but not wearing my custom colorway D Rose Boost 6's cuz I'm not paying 7500 VC for them.

          wait, what? I'm still lvl 2 thinking i can create my own colorways when
          i'm lvl 3. At least it says you can do that at lvl 3? so what exactly is the
          difference when you reach lvl 3? im really confused now...

          2K pls...

            I get the feeling something is out of whack right now, and maybe will be fixed in the upcoming patch -- because there's no where to create any sneakers or color ways inside of MC.

            Everything is done from the main menu sneaker creator, but I feel like there should be one that's unlocked in MC, like when you unlock the Jumpshot creator.

            Wouldn't be surprised if this is addressed in a patch. But I also wouldn't be surprised if it's a money grab either.

            50/50 right now.

                    That's not what it says at level 3. It says custom colorway. They give you a custom made colorway of a certain shoe for free (it was a white and black Jordan 6 for me). Level 3 compensation isn't for free created shoes.

                      What are your team colors?

                      I think level 2 compensation gives you the "all shoes free" in your team's colorway, no? I took custom colorway to mean we'd be able to create our own colorway for an existing shoe, and level 4 gives us the ability to create our signature shoe.

                      But if you're saying that I have all of my sneakers in the Lakers colors because I came in with the level 3 compensation...that's kinda weak. That's why I assumed something is missing and might be addressed in the next patch.

                      Shoes in your team's colors isn't some super exclusive perk given to only the upper echelon athletes signed with a brand. I hope like hell that's not what 2K is doing here.

                        Level 2 gives you the team color shoes. You have to go into NBA Shoes in the store to buy them and they're all 0 VC then they show up in the NBA Gear menu.

                        It only gives you one shoe when you hit level 3. It's like Jordan brand creating a PE for you. For me it was the Jordan 6 in white and black and red (was on the Bulls, not sure if that mattered). The way I took it was that level 4 would be when you could use custom shoes.. At least that's what I'm hoping. Really hoping it's not just use the Create A Shoe feature to create one shoe.

                          Wrong. They do give you a custom colorway, but they also make your created shoes free. Trust me I have like 50 foams and 27 PE's, plus the 11 shoes I got robbed on.

                            Lol when myplayer got corrupted and I sent a ticket they restored the player with only attribute/badge purchases. So no shots, no dunks, no dribbles, no layups, no park animations, no court upgrades, nothing but the attributes and badges.

                            I don't know if you've looked, but dunks/layups/dribbles are all expensive af this year. They told me "We can't track VC purchases, sorry" and basically told me I was lucky they even restored the player.

                            I doubt they'd compensate for this.

                              Every single created shoe says 7500 VC at level 3 on both of my characters.
