Pro-Am not rewarding VC

[Sleepy59]

Initially I never bothered checking, but I noticied my VC has been going down after only spending 1,500 on boosts for 5 games. In 5 games I earn at least 4,500 (A+ grades) therefore it should be going up. Tested it out today, and to my surprise I wasn't receiving any of the MT the game said I've earned. I play as a walk-on through the game-mode selection screen. After the game ends I wait for the "searching for players" before pressing start and subsequently quitting.

Hmm.. i've been getting about 900vc every pro-am game since Patch3 dropped.
Definitely adds to my VC total. But im always with a squad - never as a walk-on

Also, I dont think attribute boosts that you purchase actually apply in Pro-Am.
But i do think the temporary boosts you get from doing Off Day Training do...

Re: Pro-Am not rewarding VC

I'm talking about playing as a walk-on. It also states that I've been rewarded 900 but it never adds up. Boosts are also consumed so I would find it strange that they don't apply. If so this is extremely misleading.

Yup, been like that for a week now. Typical 2k stuff, they'd rather bring out Marvel appearance than fix the game. 2k is my fav game but this company is absolutely pathetic

Because the art department totally works on the gameplay design and bugs.. (they don't).


Why does everyone act like/think one department handles the entire game?

It has nothing to do with who works on what, it has everything to do with the priorities tho.

All the my team packs and throwbacks, special clothes, vc sales, and special park rules are all over social media and the main menu of the game....

Try and find an answer or some acknowledgment as to why the patch broke walk on with friends or getting no VC after games...ha good luck.

Executives could push certain departments to expeditiously resolve critical issues. I'm pretty sure people are wondering why most updates are from customer relations(Marketing and sales)

Yea, because i totally said there's only 1 department working on everything. It's all about priorities, a working game doesnt seem to be one unfortunately.

Re: Pro-Am not rewarding VC

I would hope +5 boost works in ProAm because when I go back to boosts section it decreases after each game I play. I think practice boosts also work as well.

Re: Pro-Am not rewarding VC

So....everyone has insight to what 2KSports priorities are and what timeframes it takes to address those priorities? It's safe to say they're working on Patch 4, but yet people want to believe that 2K Sports is somehow "ignoring" game issues due to other stuff being released before the next patch.

2K Sports is not going to stop promoting VC and other "workable" aspects of the game while they're working on a patch for the game.

2K actually does a great job at listening to feedback and applying fixes. I feel like Ronnie listens to cheesers complain too often though, so he bashes on devs . He said Devs listen too much, when in reality everything on patch 3 was great. Sometimes we'd rather get verification as to whether this is a bug or it was intended.

Patch 3 took some adjusting to, but it's great (aside from too many bump steals).

Pro-Am walk on works fine for me VC wise. However, I'm not quite sure that Live Practice boost are effective in anything outside of mycareer. That's been a myth since day 1.

Re: Pro-Am not rewarding VC

Yea 2K usually addresses all the issues within the game..but little things like (didn't effect me, but) the PS4 voice chat not working in park were ignored.

No VC and not being able to play with friends are kind of a big deal when talking about the mode as a whole.

It takes me about 2 minutes to gather my thoughts and type out this here response; so on Twitter it would probably take 30 seconds to say "We know Pro-Am walk on with friends is broken." and the same with no VC being awarded.

I don't feel like bashing 2K all the time, but it's so freakin easy to tell us that so I don't have to repeat myself and be "that guy" on the forums lol.

No rep for pro-am is the dumbest thing they ever did

No rep for pro-am is the smartest thing they ever did. Ballhoggers and dribble spammeres can stay at the park.
