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

This is just silly.

like every gamer that doesn't take your stance lacks common sense and self control. Please. Proceed with your "movement", but don't generalize everyone else.

I'll say it right now...there's a 9/10 chance I'll buy new next year...and it's not because I am going to "OMGZ" or what ever else you want to put in capital letters at the trailer. It's because I enjoyed enough of 2k14 that they've earned my next buy.

Relax, i didn't say every gamer that doesn't take my stance lacks common sense. In fact i clearly said that the problem is with most people that have all these gripes with the game and complain a lot about all the issues, turning around and buying the game that they just said they had a lot of problems with and didn't enjoy as much. It would be like if someone kept eating at a restaurant that they said had terrible service and sub-par food over and over, it makes no sense. There's a difference between that, and a person buying the game next year just because they liked it. Read what i said more carefully.

If you feel like 2k14 was good enough for you and you want to purchase it again next year, that's fine. I clearly wasn't talking about people like you though.

Sounds like you keep eating at the same restaurant, have the same complaints, but saying your better than those people because your eating for free (buying used) though,,,

If I misunderstood you're original post, my apologies....wasn't quite as clear as you say...

Eh, that analogy doesn't work for what you're trying to do there though. Because for one, I wait until the game is used and at a lower price because i don't feel it's worth the full price, and i don't support the devs with my money by doing that. Also, if there are no used copies, i will not buy, simple. Again, i'm referring to people that complain about all the problems with the game, and then turn around and forget about it when a new trailer is released and go buy on day 1. Hell i did the same thing with COD back in the day and i haven't played a COD game since Black ops 2, because i didn't like the way the flaws weren't addressed in that series. So i have no problem with not buying something.

It's all good, but it's pretty clear man. Like literally in the quote you used from me i said "Let's be honest here, how many of you people complaining are gonna impulsively shell out money for 2k15 next year and then complain about things they don't fix?"

If you don't like it, or feel it's not as good as it should be, don't support it.

Did I miss a post or something? Are we talking about the VC rewards being reduced or legacy issues?

But no, seriously. Better choice for YOU, you should probably clarify there somewhere.

^Yeah, imma have to cosign that. As many problems as 2k has, it's still waaaay ahead of live. There's really no serious competition at this point. Live= stale bread, 2k=mcdonalds, yeah it's not that great of a food, but it's at least edible.

To specify, i'm talking about both. Legacy issues are my biggest gripe personally(i mean there are plenty problems that haven't been addressed in years) but the vc rewards being reduced(and vc in general) is just icing on the cake. But i here i was referring to a lot of people voicing how upset they are about vc, but will continue to support a product they act like they have so much disdain for.

[tpaterniti]

I don't know if you guys are aware of how video game companies work, but once they release a product, they move on to the next one and any problems related to the one they have already released are going to be met with the quickest fix possible. Maybe it shouldn't be that way, but it is.

I don't care if they make a perfect game next year, they screwed us over this year. They're not getting my money again until I'm convinced they respect the people who've supported them all these years.

Ahh ok I get what you mean. The same people complaining about VC to no end, will probably still buy the next 2k. This is definitely true. Just wait for the 2k hype train to come back around august then everybody will forget about how much they dislike VC.

I'm betting the tone around these parts may be much different come August than it has been at nearly any other time within the past ten years. I think an initial 2K15 information offering alluding to a return to what made them great (fully customize-able experience, return of aspects missing in 2K14) would be their best bet.

But even if 2K seems to have regained their wits about them, I have to think pre-release skepticism is going to be at an all-time high. I think a lot of folks have fully crossed over into "believe-it-when-I-see-it" territory on the heels of their experience this year. I can't really say what all this means for future sales, but I'm certainly interested to see how it all plays out.

The only way I see a noticeable change this year is if Live comes out with something big. Otherwise people are still gonna want to play their basketball games and most likely disregard any skepticism.
2k only has to say one word to get everyone back on the bandwagon. Crew.

Perhaps you are right. I honestly have no idea how it'll shake out. I think there's a lot of offline folks, like myself, who also couldn't care less about Crew, though that's obviously just one feature example. If nothing else, I feel like many typical release day buyers will be much more cautious this year.

Going without a current basketball video game was a bit easier this year than I thought it would be. Many may have to buy a ball game every year on impulse (like the millions who buy a new Madden regardless of how they feel about the game itself every year) but I think more and more may realize skipping out on a basketball title isn't the worst thing in the world, particularly if things continue down a path for which many consumers do not favor.

For me, even if 2K15 promises everything on my personal little wishlist (more classic teams, return of create-a-player, create-a-team, Reelmaker, Association, D-League, manual saves, Summer League), I'd still be very guarded until the game was released and put through the ringer. Even prior to 2K14, there was a pattern developing there where new features were being trumpeted, only for some nasty truths to be revealed post-release (ex: Dream Team couldn't be edited, 2K13 removed manual saves, 2K14's slight form of DRM). For many, I think things have gone from "I trust these guys, automatic buy no matter what" to "Welp, we'll just have to see about that."

I wish I could say that would be the case. There's just so many impulse gamers out there. I've seen people talk about how ****ty cod is one week and then buy the new one the next. It makes no sense but it happens. People always feel like they need the newest product out there for whatever reason.
There may be more cautious buyers out there but ultimately I see them purchasing the game any way. I wish people would just be more careful with their purchases and what they're choosing to support.

I did not buy it and I refuse to now. Removal of OA. Forcing VC to be used in every mode. I was gonna hit up ebay and look for a used copy for 30ish. Not now. This is a mobile free to play game that they have asked 60 for. If they want to go this route and try ti force eople to buy VC, then the game should be free, just like countless other mobile games thst follow the same pattern. At least they don't double dip you.
