Re: VC ratio is ridiculous.

I personally dgaf about this VC uproar. I always spend $20-$40 dollars every year extra to purchase some VC and I spend it how I see fit. I mean, yes it sucks that you have to do that to fully enjoy the game but it doesn't really hurt my pockets.

But then again, I am employed full time and spending $80-$100 dollars a year on a game I fully enjoy for a good 10-12 months is good enough for me. My reasoning is that spending $80 to $100 a year on NBA 2k will in turn save me thousands by staying home and playing the game and not going out to the bar every other day to spend $100 dollars or so a night.

I can empathize with the rest of y'all but for me, this VC thing is almost a non issue. One way or another, everyone will soon have to accept that this is the new wave of gaming. It does suck but no matter how hard you guys cry and make noise about this, I just don't see any developers changing their stance on this. Micro-transactions is a very lucrative market and it's looking like that is where the future of gaming is going.

You confused the cause with the effect
Developer will not change their stance as long as people like you will keep giving them extra-money for micro-transactions

By the way, I like the "I always spend $20-$40 dollars every year extra to purchase some VC". Sounds like VC has been here for the last 5 years

Spending a little cash for some VC won't hurt my pockets either. I refrain from doing so because I don't believe that I should have to spend a penny to fully experience a game that I already spent $60 on to own.

I don't think we "have to accept" anything. Micro transactions are a disgrace to gaming. I respect your honesty, but I hope other gamers realize that this VC thing and micro transactions in general will only get WORSE if we don't voice our opinions.

Give me a break, what I meant is I've spent $20-$40 each year SINCE the implementation of VC. You also make it seem like I'm the only person who buys VC. I work 9-5, Mon-Fri so I do not have time to grind for VC. If spending a few bucks is going to let me enjoy a game a little more, give MyPlayer better attributes and all the other fixings, I'm going for it.

Clearly you can go for it.
But since VC really got worse from last year, get ready to spend $40-$60 next year, $60-$80 in 2k16, etc etc

By the way, this time I like the "You also make it seem like I'm the only person who buys VC". Souns like "You also make it seem like I'm the only person who doesn't pay taxes"

When that happens, that is when I will join you fellow smash the VC bandwagon. Right now the price is not too unreasonable, but any further increase will get me heated.

Re: VC ratio is ridiculous.

The more I read the more I don't want this game. I really love 2k but now I'm on the fence. I think these non-basketball devs are ruinning this game. Its ashamed.

Unless someone can give me a great reason to buy this game I might not.

That's exactly why VC will not go away. People who are calling the shots are non-basketball and out of touch with reality, essentially losing their core fan base.

With people who are out of touch, seeing is believing. They don't care what people say or complain about, they want to see it. So, the sales of NBA 2k would have to drop drastically and I doubt that will happen.

There was an NBA 2k Dev on the forum saying he's excited about the direction of 2k. He's suppose to say that. 2k is not going in the right direction...bad servers and now VC for everything because they want you to spend the extra money to enjoy what you've already paid for. That's excluding all the other problem they never address.

That's fine, but know that people like you are contributing to the growth of micro transactions in games that we already pay full price for. Whether you intend to or not. Ideally, every game mode should be enjoyable for people who have limited time and don't want to spend a single penny.

Damn, I'm so sorry that I'm contributing to your suffering. I'm going to hang myself now so that I don't make anyone else suffer.

That's funny, cause lots of my friends work a 9-5 and they can build a good myTeam and a 90 overall myCareer in a week or two.

"There's no time?" Lol, funny. It's easy to earn VC but the pricing and perspective of how much something cost is embarrassing.

I think you are correct. I have a hard time believing the creative minds of NBA 2K could listen to ideas regarding VC & other aspects and conclude, "Yes, this is what's best for our simulation basketball product." A lot of these additions do not feel like artists making artistic decisions.

Rather, as you said, it feels like they're coming from another, more business-driven corner and again, like you said, I believe that's going to very seriously affect their core fan base.

AGREED, Micro transactions ruin the fun it's not the money it's the principal it used to be you beat the game and you unlock secret levels or something fun like that. Now it's just SCREW YOU GIVE US MONEY

Re: VC ratio is ridiculous.

Hmm. I think VC awarded is much more appropriate compared to current gen. But I'm speaking specifically of what is awarded in MyCareer.
