    You gotta ADD Swante too because Swante been talkin about the VC prices for the longest..even before the Game Dropped 3 weeks prior..He really Said that the reason why they added the Stamina System was to make us Buy more Boost $$$$..and it turns out to be that way..he also said that the community are full of Hypocrites(which is also true) because they really don't want a "Realistic" game.. the First thing ppl do when game drops is Find "THE BEST DEMIGOD BUILD" "I ALREADY BROKE THE GAME" type of Videos.. I Mean look at the Park.. first thing they did was Make 7 footers dribble Gods, is that realistic? my problem with this community is that they are a bunch of "FOLLOWERS". If a group of Bigger Content Creators say the Game is Good,then everybody say is Good..If they say Game is Bad..then Game is Bad...The Game is Decent but if you been playing since 2k15..you know for a fact the game still clunky for a "Next Generation Experience"..Idk What Engine 2K is using for these new Gen Consoles but the movement is not as fluid as previous 2K from the last decade. its so easy to manipulate people from this community and 2K knows that..this company be slappin people faces and guess what? They still BUY the game..no other Gaming community would accept that type of humilliation. The Only Year the community truly came together to stop playing the game was when 2K18 DROPPED..I highly doubt it will happen again,sadly.

The ONLINE INPUT LAG and LATENCY where every button press is delayed by 1 second or more has been in the game for years. WHERE HAS THE OUTCRY BEEN FOR THAT? You don’t have to buy VC. But the SERVERS are a must to play on.

    I feel like a bigger issue is that everyone wants to be 99 overall in the first week of 2K. I purchased $33AUD 75K VC to get my guy to a 75. After just a few career games to get my shot timing right I hit the park and have a 81% W rate. The gameplay this year is good enough to the point where if you know how to actually play basketball you will win against anyone, even people rated 90 and above.

    DON'T BUY VC. Its really the only thing the community can do at this point. KZreadrs with a platform need to push this idea. I appreciate guys like Phantuums. The community needs more like them. We really need a grassroots movement where the community actually speaks with our wallets, otherwise it's just going to get worse. I haven't paid full price for a sports game in years and I absolutely refuse to buy virtual currency for any of these games. These companies are legitimately asking for $200-500 EVERY YEAR from you in order to compete at a high level and theyre not even carrying their weight by actually producing quality games each year. They release broken games with broken modes and want us to pay more? No thanks

It gets you to like a 75 which is juuuust playable in park if you have good IQ and the right build. It wont change sadly man but hey if its an hours work for me to save 60 hours + of grinding I'd rather just spend that $33.

All of the big outlets picked it up and it got so much bad press that they eventually made hair cuts free. The most simple way for them to fix this is to literally give us more VC per payout, giving us about 5K per game would make a huge difference.

Spent nothing and have a 85 overall, it’s funny how increasing difficulty just increases the amount of rigged occurrences in even the offline games. Rookie = You’re literally unstoppable Pro = things are skewed in your favor All star = Fairly Balanced some rigged shenanigans especially when a game is becoming a double digit game early Superstar = Regular rigged occurrences, your teammates didn’t forget how to shoot but they forgot how to make ‘em Hall of fame = Game is literally rigged against you Id only recommend playing if you actively dislike watching basketball that makes sense.

    This even happened for 2K18 I’m pretty sure. VC prices for things as little as haircuts were out of control, and they also originally wanted to require you to ALREADY pay and upgrade your player before you could see your attributes. There was a lot of criticism that went their way and they changed things to make them better. Creators voices do matter, if content creators don’t think their voices have any power or influence, what does that mean for the rest of the player base?

Sooner or later 2k is going to realize why their sales of their game are low or why the regular consumer is not buying their game. The 2k community shouldn't be relying the content creators to be their voice. The 2k community have a voice as well, they can do it by their actions by not buying the game. That how they can get their voices heard by 2k simple as that.

    The VC issue gets brought up every year when a "new" 2k drops and every year multiple youtubers make vids about it but majority of players don't care and continue to buy the game and in turn buy VC. These game companies that shoehorn micro-transactions and essentially force you (in this case 2K) to buy VC keep getting away with it because us consumers let them/enable them by continuing to buy their product. I don't understand how such a huge group of people are okay with getting screwed over like this year after year lmfao

Changes likely won’t come this year but at least it’ll force 2k to realize the content creator / community voice carries weight. Every avalanche starts with the movement of a single pebble.

There are times where a 6'4" guard can go straight up on you or go past and you jump and smack the ball and it doesn't affect their shot or even give you a block. Paint defense is atrocious. If they just gave it a buff it'd stop the rim running and make scoring harder. They made shooting harder, they should make dunking and finishing in general harder. No way smaller guards should be scoring on 7'3" centers with ease. You shouldn't need anchor on HOF to be able to block people that are 6'4" and below.

    Most 2k content creators make a ton of "build" videos. With vc prices being what they are- who's gonna keep making builds? They are hurting themselves by not speaking out about 2k's predatory behavior.

I'm good I have an actual life to take care of.. Plus losing all my builds and realizing how much money I wasted because they don't transfer over to the new game... Nope 2k not again.

    The only way we're going to be able to drop them is a few months before 2k24 comes out everyone needs to start making a lot of noise, from content creators to the casual player and everyone in between. Videos, comments, tweets, etc. Just make the sheer focus of the next 2k the VC. Hard to plan but start it early enough and it will gather enough steam by the time it releases to make a difference.

    I choose to look at it this way. If it costs the price of another game, I’ll play another game. A build now costs as much as a tank of petrol, and since I need that more than HOF clamps I know what I’m going with 😂 NEVER BE SILENT in matters like this. Because eventually gaming will just be a privilege of e-sports and rich folk.

    2. Unfortunately I don’t think the community will stop buying vc. However I do believe that we can make a change. If we continue to voice out our opinions 2k will get sick and tired of us and they would eventually have to change vc prices. I usually buy a 450k vc when I buy vc. I’m disappointed to say I’ve nearly spent $500+ just because it’s so expensive. It’s usually $150 but now it’s $165. Gone up by $15. Come on 2k community we can change the prices if all of us come together

    Well see I’d love for them to change stuff cause 450k is ridiculous but the plan of them getting sick and tired, a multi-billion dollar company changing their prices post-release, I spent $20 and got to a 78 OVR, I’m a 85 I don’t plan on spending anything else I’m just gonna grind. Maybe we can get them to give use free vc or something but if the community can’t stop buying vc nothing is gonna change that’s just reality, think about all the problems in previous games they didn’t change majority of them because they just don’t care. We’re putting money in their pockets so while we complain they’re grinning

    Straight up haven't built yet because of how much it costs. Trying to make sure I know the deal with everything so I don't have a shit build and get forced to rebuild to be viable. Two other sneaky things that have flown under the radar in the whole VC thing. 1. Rebirth. When you get rebirth, you have one level 90 (200-250k+ VC) and another one that you can instantly level up to 90 (200-250k+ VC) and you now have two level 90 builds. What does it cost to get you to 99 from there? Another 200-250k VC on EACH. If you buy the $100 VC pack and do a rebirth, you will almost be out of VC if not completely out of it - and 10 levels to go on each. Straight up trap to get you in a position where you have to buy more VC even if you've bought the max bundle. Looking at $200 for VC, $70 for the game. 2. 100k VC for completing MyPlayer story. Same type of deal. That will get you a few levels at the higher end of leveling, or could get a fresh build to what - 77? Insignificant, non impactful - you will be buying more VC. It's sneaky. If they kept the cost to level up your build the same year over year, but increased VC prices - at least they would be up front about it. People have already spent money to buy VC before realizing that it take over $100 in VC to max your guy out. Going off of previous years, you might think you can earn VC, grind it out - but that is not the case. If they raised the VC prices, people would know what the deal is and wouldn't be $50-$100 in VC invested before realizing their money won't take them as far. The last thing - the game evolves a bit over the year. If people are bitching about something, it might result in a tweak to the gameplay - whether that is something like shooting getting easier, finishing getting harder or whatever it is - that can change the meta, that can make your early build less viable.

    I bought $50 worth of VC and it barely got me to an 80 overall. I will not be spending anymore money on this game. Yea the gameplay of the game as improved and I enjoy playing the game but VC wise this game is a nightmare. You can’t even make good money in mycareer anymore. Endorsements suck and there are no more VC checks. Even when you play online you get even less VC. I’ve always felt that if you play against real players you should be getting 2-3k VC per game regardless of whether it’s park or REC

    I would love to see a dozen or so KZread/twitch 2k streamers and content creators get together and figure out a weekend where all come together and not buy VC or better yet just not play the game in protest. I think if we gave it enough lead time they could get everyone to come together and just for 2 days don’t buy VC and better yet don’t play the game. If everyone in the community came together and go all their viewers behind them it would get their attention. I’m not sure the community can come together but I for one would think it’d be worth a try. With Ronnie’s comments on VC and how arrogant he sounded, something like this would actually get his attention. Maybe they’d listen especially if the community would come together and do this.
