MyTeam Preorder bonus temporary



I know most of y'all couldn't care less about MT and what happens over there but u can't be the only who thinks that even for "fairness" charging 20-40 bucks for a Kobe and Jordan card that is only a trial isn't a good move. And ik a lot of y'all are gonna say that you like it because it's OP to have them form the start like that but for me and a lot of guys who mainly play MT and invest a lot in the mode (including the extra 40 for the cards in the gold edition) this is a seriously not okay thing to do.

And if I'm wrong please don't crucify me but it was listed in the list of new things been added to the game for 2K17 thread.

And I'm also posting this here because this is a serious thing and it won't be seen in the MT board as it is as dead as a doorknob over there. If it needs to be moved so be it but I iust don't think this is something that can just "slip by"

Re: MyTeam Preorder bonus temporary

The MyTeam card is just an added bonus IMO, I'm buying it mainly because I'm a Lakers fan and Kobe lover but also for the other goodies and VC they are giving.

I don't really see the issue with it, I don't think the MyTeam card is the main selling feature. The only issue I would ever have is if it was the only thing being offered with the $99.99 version.

Re: MyTeam Preorder bonus temporary

I agree with you. I mean I wouldn't mind if we got a little lower rated Kobe but got to keep him instead of a dope Kobe that we can only have for 5-10 games.

It might not be for you but myself included it was not only as a huge Kobe fan but a person who plays MT ad the main mode those cards were a HUGE part of the decision to get the gold edition. It might not be You but I can name 30-40 people on my friends list who made that decision based on getting those cards. And I personably feel that 20-40 extra bucks go them being temporary is a serious breach of trust

You're paying 20-40 extra bucks for the VC + other things... Not for the temporary cards. The temporary cards are bonus. Don't see what the big deal is.

Re: MyTeam Preorder bonus temporary

I play a ton of MT, pretty hard core with it, and these trial cards from the pre-order don't bother me. In fact, last year I was requesting a form of trial card come into the game, hopefully giving us opportunities to select different players to insert into our line ups for 5 games (offline only), allowing us to see how they fit into the rotation before buying them on the auction house. This is mainly to counter having to resell the player if we don't like them and take a hit with auction tax. Ultimately, I ended up creating a custom roster with my MT on it, and added and removed players I was thinking about buying, in order to test them in a scrimmage first.

My big attraction to the preorder bundles is the whole package of stuff, specifically, the large sum of VC that comes with. I use that VC to kick off my career attributes, buy some dunk packages/jump shot animations, tattoos, and maybe a few pairs of shoes. The rest I dump into my MT on packs.

I understand where you're coming from. It is a breach of trust. The preorder said Kobe free agent card, it never said trial card. If you bought the bundle on that pretext then it is false advertisement.

Yeah it's cool I hear you, I play MT a lot as well so I get it.

Should've just made it a rookie 80 rated Kobe or something like they've done in the past with other guys.

Read what I said before... Had they announce that they would be temporary before that's if efferent but to not say that until a few weeks before the game comes out is not okay when you have people who make that decision to not only spend that extra 20-40 but to pay it for a item that they were led to believe is one thing only to do out right before they get it and they have already paid find out it's not the same
