NBA 2K14: MyGM Virtual Currency Rewards Slashed by 40%

Re: NBA 2K14: MyGM Virtual Currency Rewards Slashed by 40%

If this game didn't have the best gameplay I've ever played in a basketball game, I'd be trading it in and getting current-gen 2k14.

So many restrictions in the game and downright greedy moves that they're making.

I HATE women comparisons with games...but it's kind've like dating a fine girl who treats you great, but you keep hearing about how bad she treats your/her friends...you wonder if it will eventually be you too, lol

Right now, with the modes I play, MyTeam and quick games...I have a lot of fun...and that's what I am all about....I don't care to analyze the direction of the series and all of that, I just want to put in my disc and have fun...VC hasn't had an effect on any of that yet (but DRM has)....I still play often and enjoy myself...but it still sucks to hear this kind of stuff on behalf of the community...

2k really needs to take a long look in the mirror in the 'offseason'

Damn and I was sitting here thinking it couldn't get any worse.

I have been saying this from the beginning 2k has the worst development team in the entire ****ing world. Instead of fixing the game breaking glitches like constantly getting dashboarded or servers not working they decide to patch domination glitches that actually let you get 1 myteam pack a game which actually makes sense. It also seems like I am in the ****ing depression because my vc is worth absolutely nothing. I have spent like over $80 and I have almost nothing to show for it because you don't get anything. For $80 I should be able to have a 99 overall player and the entire myteam collections but instead you get constant duplicates and pennies on the dollar for selling them back in. Honestly I like 2k but I swear on everything if they keep ****ing patching these glitches that people like me do because they don't want to spend money and actually want to make a decent amount of vc in a reasonably amount of time and they don't patch the ****ing glitches that actually hurt gameplay I am just going to quit 2k.

Thanks for writing this, it's just another smack in the face. I guarantee that the overwhelming majority of people who "farm" have also spent way more actual money on this game than they would want to admit. The whole reason for farming is that the VC reward system is way out of balance--which of course is intentional so you are practically forced to buy VC to get deep into a mode like MyTeam.

I just read this morning that the winner of the Million VC giveaway couldn't even get the current 30 players he needed to unlock the diamond Lebron award! Think about it--1,000,000 VC isn't enough to get 30 current players you want...

The sad thing is they've changed the reward but are too cowardly to announce that they have and too lazy to change the graphic that now tells you the wrong amount. Pathetic.

Amazing how any part of the game that unintentionally benefits the consumer is quickly fixed while countless other problems will be ignored.

I just got this last week and I have to say..vc is evil. I can't believe 2k would even do us fans like this. I just got into myteam yesterday and man I've missed out on locker codes since I've had the game.

I never would have though back in October I'd be looking forward to NBA Live 15 of all things. 2k managed to lose a fan on their first next gen offering. I won't be buying 2k15. And if that means I don't get to play any basketball game this year or the next then so be it. It wont stop the game from selling well. It just has to be a personal choice to give up on basketball games for the foreseeable future. EA UFC, MLB the Show, and Fifa will have to fill that sports void. Not much else you can do. Wouldn't be surprised if in NBA2k15 after you pay $60 for the game, they gonna make you pay 1000vc everytime to save your game data to their servers, just watch.

These are the kind of comments I have a problem with. 2K has very far from the worst development team in the world. VC isn't a development team issue. Sadly, they put themselves in position for this kind of crap to be said about them.

If they're going to continue to be completely silent on this issue, then they better damn well ship a game in October (or November or whatever the schedule will be now for next gen) that is free of the DRM and VC issues that they've infested this title with because they are doing serious damage to their brand. They worked all these years to climb to the top and make 2K Sports a name synonymous with quality and excellence in the sporting game arena and they're flushing it down the ****ing toilet in one damn year. Everybody thinks they're untouchable until they get punched in the mouth and 2K's punch is coming if they don't get their priorities straight.

I really want to hear Leftos thoughts on this. Surely they couldn't have implemented this change without some input from him, right?

Leftos, Wang and and the rest of the core game developpers have probably nothing to do with that kind of decisions. They're the only reason this game is still great gameplay wise.

Re: NBA 2K14: MyGM Virtual Currency Rewards Slashed by 40%

The sad thing about this is there are 2K devs reading this thread and saying/doing nothing.

I know the few that frequent OS probably aren't the ones making the big decisions. But, "our" voice collectively being against VC should mean something since we're the ones feeding their basketball monopoly. And whether our opinions are relayed to the decision makers or not remains to be seen.

They've taken the fun out of basketball and are almost turning the game into a managerial system.

All I want to do is have the ability to play Association, Create-A-Player, etc. like I used to do.

I used to strongly support 2K. But now, I dunno. All of these issues point at them turning into their competitors.

At the end of the day, 2K is reading complaints, making these monopolizing decisions, and doing this in our faces (ie. reducing VC earnings, KNOWING how hard it is to attain VC):

Re: NBA 2K14: MyGM Virtual Currency Rewards Slashed by 40%

Man I've been having a ridiculous amount of fun with this game...especially lately...but jeez man, if sucks to hear stuff Like this....who is making these decisions?

What game modes do you play?

[FBeaule04]

It's funny that all of a sudden, a thing we expect from EA Sports is done by 2K*. It's no surprise to be honest. The game is popular, the opposition isn't there and the best way to make people buy the VC is to make it neart to impossible to improve while just playing the game.

As for the 2K devs on the forum, I mean, let's be honest a bit. If I was one of them, I wouldn't say a thing even if I'm against the way to do the thing. They have a job and you don't lose it for decision you don't have a say on.

For the 4 pages of people not happy in here, there's still a bunch of people buying VC, so we can talk all we want about that, it's like trying to kill someone with a Nerf sword. We'll get tired before the guy in front is dead.

They can do this crap but I still can't see Awards, Voting, Hall of Fame, Team History or player or the week/Month on mycareer? Nor do I have a free agency

Re: NBA 2K14: MyGM Virtual Currency Rewards Slashed by 40%

Meanwhile Ronnie2K will do a MyTeam broadcast where he'll use his all-diamond lineup he didn't earn against some average Joe who's been playing his butt off to get his players. They don't even play the game the way it was designed, they're better than us, they don't have to, so why would they care? 2K is way out of touch.
