I will reserve judgement on the VC aspect until we see more of the game. I've been confident that 2K will have learned their lesson from last year's disaster and dialed back the way VC is handled this year.

Just because VC has appeared as a pre-order bonus doesn't mean a continuation of 2K14's mess at this point. People saw MLB The Show's version of VC as a pre-order bonus and started freaking out as well. As an owner of the The Show, I can say that I'm perfectly fine with how it was handled there. As far as it's inclusion in Road to the Show. There isn't a single second where it's required for you to buy the currency. Your contract isn't some ridiculous looking 500 Mario coins while everybody else has 5 year/40 million dollar deals and so on. It's exactly as a microtransaction system should be. There if I want it, but never something I actually NEED.

2K has a chance to right some major wrongs from 2K14. I'm still confident they will, but as of right now, they are a used game purchase (when I get around to it) from me as opposed to the pre-order on the first day available that they used to be.
