    Re: NBA 2K14 Next-Gen Screenshot - Building Your MyGM

    Like I said before, VC for contracts would be TERRIBLE. We want to play with a realistic simulation of the current NBA CBA...

    But ONE case where I think VC could be interesting-- if you were forced to convert VC to "2K NBA dollars" when paying the Luxury Tax for going over the salary cap.

    You don't really feel the hurt when you're paying fake dollars you've made from fake tickets and fake concessions. But real owners generally dislike paying luxury tax unless they're big markets and potential contenders. Having to spend VC for the upkeep of expensive rosters would have a real world parallel and set the right kind of tone-- if you pay the tax with bought VC, it's literally money out of your pocket. It could even be fun managing when you'll pay VC for a title run and when you wont.

    It'll establish a premium vs non-premium metagame, based exactly on real world scenarios and cap dynamics.

    It makes a lot more sense than blowing half your rookie contract on an arm sleeve.

      It's an interesting take. However, I feel that because we are playing GM and not Owner, I'd like it better if some owners would not let you pay luxury tax instead of having any VC involved. Exceeding your spending budget would put your job on the line.

        We're part owners/GMs/coaches/players/trainers anyway, so I see MyGM as a simulation of the whole association (except when owners give you a goal for the season).

        Even if only certainly owners allow you to pay lux tax, it'd still be interesting to pay VC for the priviledge, so you don't blow tax because it ain't your money.

            This mode seems as if it will be exciting to play. I hope it's free roaming and not like nba life. Like SOny's version where you really couldn't emulate a nba season. Other words it would be a great addition for the Next- Gen.

              Thats what I'm saying. I remember back in the day when there really wasn't a big hype train. You just got the game, put it in, and it was like Christmas morning seeing all the new stuff. Just as long as they're not holding it back because it will suck then I actually like it. I like surprises. Well, good ones that is.
              They laugh at me because I'm different. I laugh at them because they're all the same.

                I could seriously cry finding out vc is in this mode haha. My excitement has come down quite a lot. Looks like i will just be playing quick games again all year.

                  Damn, VC has made it's way to this mode? I can't voice my displeasure enough for this.

                  But, at least we know contract negotiations and things like that are still handled with real money.

                  Also, from the screens it looks like we can change ticket prices and concession prices at the arena, I guess that's a positive.

                  But VC in our association? Yuck

                      I know some are annoyed with VC but I'll say this..

                      It looks like we're only using VC to level up our GM. Contract negotiations with players are still handled with REAL MONEY. I hope everyone understands that. We DO NOT pay our roster with VC

                        Yeah, but our skill as a GM will be based on our "level", not our decisions.

                          Yes I know, it sucks, trust me I hate VC.

                          What I'm grateful for is the fact that we at least still have real money to work with in the mode for real life financial decisions

                                So since VC gives the gm attributes...what makes the players better throughout the season...is it based off how the players play...or will it be the same way as current gen which is totally based off age and potential rating.
