To Whom it may concern,
First I would like to say that I am a yearly customer since 2K8. I have so many great memories from this game. So many great times with friends and family. So many great online matches(sometimes). I can overlook server issues here and there. A glitch here and there. Nothing is perfect. I also understand that you guys are creating a product to make money. You guys are a business first and foremost. The last 3 iterations(probably more) of 2k that have released have been either unplayable or broken in major fashion the first month of release. I can only recall the last 3 off the top of my head but i'm sure others have had the same fate. We all know that the servers have always been a problem. As a customer I am willing to throw down my $60 in spite of all of that. The game with all of those issues is still a wonderfully made game.
The game has now turned into pay to win freemium model. If you want to play competitively you have to spend money on VC for MyTeam packs/ attribute upgrades. Some may say you can grind out VC by just playing the game, but each year 2K raises prices of VC and lowers the amount you can earn. They look for every possible way to have a VC sink( haircuts/clothing/shoes/accessories). You not only have to pay expensive prices for these items but also if you want to make another character you have to buy them again. If you want a different hair cut you have to buy it again even if you have purchased it already. The people who play this game competively all spend more on VC than the game itself. THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM for me as a consumer. For the first time since i fell in love with the series I am considering not buying next year. And this makes me sad. It makes me sad that something i have had so many good times with has turned into the most unfair/ unsporting videogame of all time. The worst part about it is that it will not change as the demand is such that 2K can get away with doing this and make millions of dollars. And I don't blame 2K for trying to make as much money as possible. I hope consumers wake up and stop buying this game so the changes could happen. Call me what you will but this sucks and i hope someone from 2k reads this and addresses it for next year.
Thank you for the time you spend reading my rant.
Have a blessed day.
