I'm really glad that MyLeague isn't going to use VC...hate VC with a passion like most others around here, but it makes me wonder how they will look at those "stats" they talked about as far as the most popular modes people play.

I would wager that MyLeague will probably be high as far as people playing it, now will 2k look at it like there is no VC in MyLeague, they are playing that mode the most maybe we should make VC less relevant over all? Or will they look at it like they are playing MyLeague the most...we need to add VC to it and get more money out of them. I'm hoping it's not the latter...

We've seen people come here saying how much they've spent in VC then have problems and get irritated cause basically they wasted their money. Wish they would realize they are a big part of the problem and just not buy it.

If there's no VC used for the new franchise mode so I guess u don't earn VC when u play games as well?

Would make sense

The real problem is the sharing the currency throughout all modes. I mean if we could earn MyGM VC or My Career VC or even MyTeam points for each game we play I believe it would counter the problem.. Maybe if they gave us a choice on what currency we would be awarded per game we could possibly be headed towards the right way. The reason why the VC is so messed up is because the value is not the same for each mode. What I mean by that is for example... I play one game of MyCareer(12 min quarters) I go in MyTeam what is really eligible to buy? Nothing at all.. But if i play a game or two of MyTeam, which would take the same amount of time I can just about buy any pack that I would want.. (I go for cheap packs btw.. Still in 6th seed..) But if I stayed in MyCareer mode I can upgrade several attributes and buy a sig skill... If the reward value was a choice in the matter I believe people can get the enjoyment of one mode while improving another at the same time.. I cant even say anything about MyGM though.. That system needs a massive overhaul.. I have been fired countless times because most of my VC went to MyCareer.

Pretty sure were saying the same thing different ways...

I think the article said you'd still gain VC for completing games in MyLeague

I think, like many others, that vc isn't bad, it just needs to change. For example, vc shouldn't be in MGM, if anything, maybe exp based progression for skills and maybe a small amount of vc for facilities and stuff. For mycareer, they should either give you more vc per game or make things cost less. For accessories, they should either be free or for a separate paycheck like how there was one in 2k12. For myteam, it should retain vc, but packs should cost less. This would give the player the ability to play all the modes without worry while still keeping the player busy for the full year. For those who are impatient, they can buy the vc, while others can work to realistically improve

I look forward to modders on the PC making VC completely irrelevant.

VC in MyCareer I'm fine with because u can earn it gradually and make ur player better, but paying 4 shoes accessories and the whole MyGM mode is ridiculous, it took all the fun out of the game.

At least it's seems like they've listened and the new Association mode in 2K15 has no VC!
