buying vc = still gotta grind, but does save you some time.
cheat engine = no grind at all. unlock everything with a couple clicks of the mouse. on top of that maxing single attributes to 99.
So again imo, buying vc is clearly not the same as cheating using engines to mess with game files.
As a PG, I have like 28 badges, but no dimer yet. It's no bid deal. When I get it, it will be rewarding and I will be proud to have earned it. I have A LOT of 2k experience. Been playing every year since Dreamcast. I have over 400 hrs in this year's 2k, but I think a lot of the time is from having the game open, but minimized while I do other things on my PC. It's ridiculous actually. What makes you think I have no experience in this game?
I do have shot creator, but I don't know how I got it.
I am currently in the playofffs of my first full season. 10 min qtrs 82 games.
Look at it this way..I like the grind means im getting my moneys worth it also means im getting alot enjoyment watching my dude grow into the kinda player i want him to be,Whats the point in spending money on vc?
dont have the time is a common answer ok fair enough then, but again if this was any other game with micro transactions there would be uproar about it.
one last thing to really think about before you buy vc.
What if they took the abillity away to upgrade your myplayer....what then?
Im sure some people would love it and some people would hate it.
id hate it for sure it would kill the game for me,And if 2k look at all this cheating and people buying 99s on day one of the game realase and decide meh lets take remove the upgrades then the community and 2k just killed one my all time fav games.
I take it you don't play any online modes.
What do you mean by "remove the upgrades?" You talking about the ability to upgrade our badge?
"I am the PG" looks to me like the real deal, mad respect therefore.
Seems like thats part of our transient society nowadays, taking shortcuts for some internet fame that wont help you at any time in your life, all at the expense of some honest !diots. I wouldnt feel any pride in buying vc to play with/against the best, it just feels wrong.
Great points! It's sad most people in this thread think buying your way through a comptettive online game is acceptable. I think my view does stem from being a hardcore gamer before this era of the microtransaction shortucts.
I'd be ashamed to admit I bought VC.
MyCareer for me is just plain out boring now and feels like a daily quest from an mmo. There was a time though, id say 2k12-2k13 where all i did was play MyCareer and never bought any vc becuz theres no point. Me buying VC is not about gettin to 99 faster than any1 else or having advantages over other players. Its about that 90+ rating WOW factor and thats enough to get you started on your way in mypark to being able to squad with better players. Lets be real, aint no 99s gonna pick up a 60 ovrl. to play competative games against another squad thats all 99.
Yea i agree with all of you that buying VC is wack and should be looked down upon. But if your a serious baller and your mission is to play competative games with the best players, then that makes your decision to buy VC alot easier.
And no, buying VC doesnt make you a better player, but it does help you to squad with other better players early on which can eventually lead to amazing team chemistry and a squad that is feared on the court. Eventually the elites slowly move into their own little community where it becomes a battle of elite squads everyday on a regular basis.
Or.. you could just settle starting MyPark with a 65ovrl player, which is fine if your a casual player. You will play with other casual players, playing casual games. Whatever you good with thats you. For me though, Im way past being a casual ball player and will continue to buy vc if that means getting to play in those fun exciting elite games.
The point of a game maker like any company is to make money. If many people are willing to buy something and you decide to stop selling because some people SPECULATE it's hurting the industry you'll go out of business. People keep buying it so they're going to keep selling it. Stop playing games that do this if you're so opposed to it, you're not going to make us that buy shortcuts or 2k feel bad about it.
I've purchased and spent 50+ hours on each version of 2k over the past 5+ years grinding out points in single player games, hoping that maybe one year they'd have a good online mode. They finally did this year and I didn't want to grind out another 50+ hours so I bought VC to max him out. If it bugs you so much then don't play online until you grind out enough VC to play at a higher level, or just play with people at or around the same skill level.
The real gripe here should be that my park games should give you more VC and badges, or that the AI cheats so damn bad which makes the grind that much more difficult.
I got it to play online, which this game finally did well enough (the my park part at least, save for the lack of communication and stupid matchmaking system). Single player games only have so much replay value, and that's been dwindling having put so many hours into single player nba 2k titles over the past few years.
Why does it bug people so much if gamers spend their own money instead of their own time to make their guy better? Are you guys just tired of losing to players and blame it on their overall rating being better?
Thank you. It makes the game much more fun when you're up with the elites having really fun and competitive games. It's also fun watching guys with maxed players suck and get destroyed by a rank 85 because he's smarter basketball wise. It's a comination of a good player and knowing the game, anyone's going to need both to keep up with the best players and have the most competitive and exciting games. Whether you spent 100 hours getting all your stats and badges or spent $50 or even ce to get there it doesn't and shouldn't matter as long as we all have the same ceiling, which as far as I can tell we do.
The only real problems here are people over their height for their position or with the super long arms that crash the game. Even the players with NBA stars faces miss shots and lose games, I don't think there's a way to mod the online game sliders.
Eventually everyone that cares enough will have a maxed player to go with online. If you're mad that people are there before you then go on being mad, none of us care that much outside of talking to you on this thread lol.
Totally agree. It's obvious 2k could make the grind easier, let you skip practices that give you nothing, stupid half time locker room sessions, watching videos etc.
Even more reason to skip the grind if you can IMO.
