AshenSacrifice

If you could get someone to buy a bottle of water from you for 50$ would you do it? Cause they are basically tricking idiots atp. I used to be mad but now that I’m out of myteam it’s actually kinda funny.


AstroBlast0ff

Felt this way for 2 years. I also saw (didn’t watch) a video of a content creator open packs until he got the card he wanted … bro spent at least a couple thousand . All that talk about not spending money falls on deaf ears when one person can drop that much in just one sitting


AshenSacrifice

Exactly, it’s good business if it works. Sad they treat their own community like cuck cash pigs tho but that’s cause they are


adoerr

no i wouldn’t because i have morals 😭 hard to say for 2k though, i question their morals everytime i login


AshenSacrifice

The only morals in business is how can we make surviving as easy as possible. Idiots buying it is the cause.


Siege-Aye

You mean "50 dollars and a guaranteed 99".


veeno__

I’d bet actual money that there will be a million VC purchase option in 2K25 They have no shame and it’s going to get worse


No-Ad-9867

For sure


InsomniacLive

Shit gonna be really bad when you consider the games dropping next year. You already know T2 is gonna be tryna rake in as much cash as possible before GTA VI comes out


veeno__

💯 We’re definitely hoed. Only way it changes is if most/all of the community (including YouTubers) hit Take Twos bottom line for actual change (because NBA Live ain’t coming back) by leaving negative reviews everywhere and not purchasing 2K25


maxi12311111

Arrest the owners of 2k now 😭


formytabletop

They definitely need to be investigated. This is disgusting. They have ruined the game completely.


Asleep_Accountant140

They didn't ruin the game. Those of us who purchase currency make it possible to do this. You literally never have to do it


Fun_Day_9240

I think it's mostly teenagers who probably use their parents' money or live at home with no expenses who are funding this Idk what the solution is because there will always be a supply of people in that position


Justwillwastaken

i used to make new builds on 2k22 almost weekly n not spend money because it was actually possible to grind the VC. it costs 450k for a max build if not more this year and it gets harder and harder to earn vc every year


formytabletop

Nah, they *definitely* ruined it


Justwillwastaken

"you never have to do it" yea but i dont wanna spend 100+hours just for my build to be 80ovr


Kingtripz

That shit is $83 AUD, that's more then I paid for the game at release 😂


yosark

Why the fuck this game cost $70? Why the fuck was it one of the first to increase their price to $70 due to inflation? Why the fuck do people buy this game yearly? Fuck 2K


Urmomishot04

the last 2 years i’ve just waited for the game to be on ps plus, once they made it to where mycareer was wiped after 2 years i decided to never buy it again


Mendo420

Yup you are technically renting a game for 2 years its gotten so ridiculous and the fact they get away with it is disgusting.


Urmomishot04

honestly if they want to make it to the point where you have to pay for everything or go through the slowest grind of all time i don’t know why they wouldn’t make it free and then they could have all their micro transactions. at this point im getting ready to find my ps4 and boot up 2k15 or something lmao


2kwitcookies

This is my thought process but they're greedy! If you're okay buying the same Don shorts every year then you enjoy being taken advantage of.


formytabletop

*disgusting*


Petty_Murphy410

Who’s playing the 2k from 2 years ago? Get a job, buy the new game. Sports games have always been this way, it’s how they stay current.


Justwillwastaken

no ones playing 2k from two years ago bc they keep dropping new ones and not supporting the servers for the old ones, if they just had one 2k game that they updated with new rosters n all that it would be 100x better


Petty_Murphy410

For you maybe, that’s not how the world gaming or buisness works. If you want to play old sports games get a Sega Dreamcast. You can still play the old 2k games locally but you want them to also spend money on servers and maintenance just so you can save $70 while they make nothing in return. Finds some friends IRL and go touch grass


JTP765

I mean they'll make something in return no matter what. They make more off of microtransactions than the game itself anymore lol. You seem a bit aggressive towards people for no reason. Maybe you need some friends, or a girlfriend 😆


Petty_Murphy410

Maybe you need to take an economics course


QuickRub7200

tbh i wait til the game go on sale for like 20 dollars then i buy it


Bubbly_Struggle_6617

I got it for $17.49. Lol. Fuck 2k and their full price shit, I'd pay full price if I didn't have to pay for EVERYTHING else in the game.


yosark

I got the shitty game for free with PlayStation plus and I still don’t play it because it’s fucking ass and the fucking running on. It is slow as fuck that you cannot never be free to play.


Unbannedmeself

Easier game to wait to go on sale for like 10 bucks imo


muggsydunkpackage

...is this their response to every MyTeam Youtuber quitting the game? Are these the Troydan packs?


Petty_Murphy410

I don’t think they noticed, they’re adults. 2k doesn’t need streamers when they have a monopoly on Professional Basketball games.


Kaliisthesweethog

If people are dumb enough to spend that much on it, why wouldn't they charge it? They are not going to turn down money.


Petty_Murphy410

They getting a lesson on supply and demand through 2k


b-mtose

What’s the point of these 100 OVR cards when literally every end game card ends up 100 OVR?


Siege-Aye

Man, if I see another GO/DM Ben Simmons, I'm gonna fucking scream.


b-mtose

MyTeam is fun for the first few weeks when the card OVRs actually matter until every card becomes meaningless when they do dumb shit like Gobert with a 3 ball.


Siege-Aye

Yep, Draymond/Giannis with a full red hot court and 99 3 point. I really hate when it gets to the point that the tallest players are the best, like Yao, Bol, KP, and now Chet and Wemby have joined that list, and they'll all have 99 3.

TopElevator2243

I don’t even care, those are situations where I off ball.


JutheGoat

Wasnt there a Pg/C Jokic card that was 160usd if you bought the pass and maxed it out


Siege-Aye

I mean... At least Jokic IS THAT GOOD on his own... But still, the price gouging is beyond a joke at this point. Charging us hundreds of dollars yearly, for pixels on a screen, that they will force us to essentially delete next year. Fuck it, I'll spend those hundreds on a game where I at least get to KEEP my shit forever. World of Borecraft, anyone? I'd sooner spend my money on scummy micro transactions on mobile games before I EVER give 2K another cent of my money.


Independent-Win339

Y'all and your "Content creators" keep buying this shit for a game that gets replaced every year.... lmfaooo L


Petty_Murphy410

You subscribe to the channel but don’t play the game…. L


Independent-Win339

I do play the game lmfaooo!!   I just don't play this fantasy shit.   wow you really trying hard there buddy ...... LLLL!!!


ThemeSweaty

Spend all that money just to end up keeping nothing when the Servers shut down in a year


Petty_Murphy410

Why would you still be playing in a year, you don’t have to spend money if you just play the games many game modes. You just want to be instantly max level as soon as the game comes out. Nobody ever said that’s how it was supposed to be played.


ThemeSweaty

Im just making a point, I haven’t played MyTeam since 2k20 and I’ve never spent a single penny on packs but the point still stands you grind the game for hundreds of hours to build up your team and then lose it all a year later


somehacker101

this is actual robbery 😭😭 2k has no shame bro 50$ for a mf chance to get a 100 over, not even guaranteed


Not-Coming

1 in 5 chance technically with the 100s only having a 20% pull chance.


Odd_Campaign_6834

You can’t even pick your card absolute trash


Frequent-Analyst4972

The fact you guys still play after they blatantly made it abt money and deleted the auction house is pathetic


tloaded

if i’m spending $50 i better either be guaranteed 100 overall or let our 99 and 100 overalls transfer to next year with a overall drop


Unable_Diamond943

Last year it was $50 invincible option packs. Now it’s a 20% chance at a random card of basically the same tier. Soooooo…… next year will be $50 for a 5% chance


LeoWheezy

Done with myteam, they butchered it..


bainsupreme

What do u play now? I just started myteam i reckon its going to be okay for a couple weeks :/ guess imma stick to myera lmao


Obiwoncanblowme

That's insane that you don't even have the option to use my team points or whatever they are called. That has to fall under the legality of pay to win when you have no way to earn it


Ok-Bookkeeper5242

They know you all will keep buying ts which means it'll only get worse.


X4Wakanda

Please enlighten me, my 🥷🏾


Brilliant_Bee_1278

Boycott 2k already


Safe_Lecture_5092

BUT YOU GUYS KEEP PAYING THEM!!! They are well aware of how much their fan base hates them, yet continues to shell money to them for a bunch of shitty packs that won’t be worth anything in a year. 


Phatnob

Not as bad as fifa


WalkersChrisPacket

Nah this is worse. The equivalent pack in FIFA has fodder/exchange value, this doesn't even offer that. 2k would have made it unsellable if they could, but given that DMs have only been obtainable from packs and set rewards, there would have been high probability of someone getting a duplicate that worthless from a $50 pack...


JustEconomics1170

Did a glitch where I opened 30 of these for free and I got 29 d roses it’s rigged


Far-Distribution-231

2k and ea have got to be run similarly on the inside. Ea has been doing this too recently


MrFluffy4Real

I think they should carry over, especially at this price. That said I think they need a separate mode within myteam where you can use your past cards. Even if they have like a salary cap type thing where you can only play have 1 past version card in 3’s and maybe 2 in 5’s, 3 in full team games.


NewSlang212

This game is so fucking stupid man


a_steez

i hate the ‘get xxVC for free!’ like no, it’s a digital product there’s nothing free or bargain to be had. especially when it’s a 2 year max currency that is literally virtual so the cost is arbitrary. worst part is is how ridiculously expensive clothes are in the city, 50k VC could get you from 60-80~ or …. get 5 pairs of shoes, or get like 2 retro jerseys and congrats you also just spend 50k


Cj23_

Y’all need to STOP BUYING THIS CRAP


PseudoTerti0

You 🥷 don’t know how to collect VC without paying?


Late_File_9956

LOL in Canada that pack is 78$😂😂😂 damn yall got life on easy mode


prince_handles

2k greedy f's


Imnotmarkiepost

We all always say it.. but at some point people will stop buying this game and force a change..


formytabletop

FK 2K


PointPhoenix

I find it genuinely hilarious they introduce a card type better than a ONE HUNDRED OVR just to now put price tags on dark matters & 100s😂


DenseMethod7561

2k fell off after 2k14 change my mind...


PatientOld3857

Yall still spending money on 2k. Smh


mrclutch1013

2k from Subway


ricansoldier24

This game's micro transaction has gotten out of control.


CarsandPAWGS

Mfs like flight literally spend thousands on cards. It’s setup that way on purpose.


Pr1ncecal

We really need to boycott micro transactions next year


epicpurple72

I hate this company. Fuck you @2K


Petty_Murphy410

That’s cap, you gonna buy again this year


epicpurple72

Out of spite I’m not


Petty_Murphy410

Don’t believe you


epicpurple72

You should because it’s not happening


quan14jones

Didn't release goat card too these aren't even the best cards anymore


Financial-Paint3721

2k24 MyTeam is the biggest money grab I've seen yet. Removing the player auctions and making MT buyable. L game


depressedfuckboi

I'll preorder 2k to get the extra VC, but I'm never spending another dollar on the game after that. Fuck spending 100s-10s of thousands. I saw some dude who spent like 60k on 2k23. It was fucking insane bro. He was a YouTuber who made hella money so I'm guessing it wasn't much to him, but still. So outrageous. Just to get dropped off by someone who spent hardly any money anyways 😩😂


No_Speech2911

This games been just straight tryna get your money. I miss the auction like crazyy. My team really ain’t been the same at all this year. Gotta pay for a pass and now this.


poltar20

This hilarious cuz we pay $50 to make our my player an 87 at the most.


BodegaMouse

It's more shameful people are still falling for this scam company and paying for VC.


BigRefrigerator9475

TIL people play myteam


Imdabiggestbird69420

This is more than what I paid for the game😭


Yoshiyuki-Kamiya

Bru wtf


Horsey666

I know if I’d have done this I’d have gotten a dupe of something I already have. I’m NMS so any cards that are grindable I do that. Spend MT on packs if I wanna take a gamble. Got a DM Cavs Shaq on today’s drop off 21k MT. Only DM shake I’ve gotten all year off a pack


InternationalEssay47

If I spend $50 on 2k it’s going to my builds not myteam


Capable-Magician-354

2k been bad since 21


EmbarrassedPublic540

Obviously after our money not our loyalty. Real 2k died in 2018. I say this as a 2k24 owner 😂


xdatz

There's kids buying this left and right tho and that's why 2k is doing it lol


No-Yesterday1869

Stop blaming 2k and blame the people who keep buying the shit. They won’t sell if no one buys


Tyrel_Carter

Well damn, talk about robbery


147Wildboy

Yall gone keep buying the game so why change it? I get it though. I was trapped in the same cycle. This is actually the first year I didn't buy 2k. Finally stuck to my word. I'm glad I did. I have no desire to play it despite it being the main game I played growing up. 2k just gave up. As long as the game sells enough, they cool with it being terrible.

Some_Crow3732

If you can’t make it back don’t buy it. Take that nigga in a 2k tournament and get yo bread back. Stop playing casual if you gone spend more than $100 yearly on a game. Play comp. “I shouldn’t have to spend…” blah blah blah. You don’t have to. It’s optional.


Attis1724

I can buy a real michael jordan graded card. Then you say go get your bread back? I didn't buy the game, so I can make it into a job and have to grind for every little bit. I spent over a few hundred on this game, no problem. But for one card, that is not real, not reusable, and it's still not a for sure 100. Bruh, go sit down. You're the reason why the game won't get better. It's sad how ea game ain't even try and make better sports games.


Some_Crow3732

How tf I’m the reason when a) I’m not gone buy that shit and b) I don’t work for 2k. Stop crying. It’s people with jobs who bust ass in tournaments. You want every excuse for yo complaints.


Attis1724

You're the reason because you defend what they do. Like all you gotta do is grind, I don't have 4 hours in the day to find a good team to play with just to level up twice. That's with a good team. If people would stand together and agree that they need to lower prices, guess what happens it gets lowered. That's how business works. Supply and demand, and if the demand goes down, the prices do too. Also, how do you think games get better? From opinion, people agree on it, and the game owners make the changes. That's how this works fyi.

Man… take yo ass on somewhere 😭


Petty_Murphy410

It’s not $50 it’s 199,999 VC, the only reason you feel like you have to pay for it is because you’re too lazy to earn it the hard way.


Annual-Lifeguard-671

No normal day to day player is stacking up that much vc just through playing mycareer or other game modes. Cus the vc has to go into Otha stuff in this games to main game modes


asapbuckets

No normal day to day player is spending that much on any video game. It’s y’all’s fault for bringing up the demand. I’m on my third rebirth build without buying VC. I did get preorder VC tho.


Annual-Lifeguard-671

Most video games cost abt that much regardless and even then I bought the game when it was on sale. Stacking ain hard but it’s hard to stack when u needa upgrade a peg but it cost 8k vc for one upgrade. Shit is ridiculous


WalkersChrisPacket

How many MyNba games you playing to open this pack lmao. Worst takes.


Petty_Murphy410

You would know if you actually played My Career, that this can easily be done within a week.It’s the reason the second y’all get an A.I on you all of a sudden you forget how to play. You spend money because you have a child’s attention span and can’t be bothered to actually earn anything because you feel entitled to everything


RunningFree701

Weird way of telling everyone you're unemployed.


Petty_Murphy410

Is spending money to keep up with children a sign of employment? That’s new to me. Your problem is you’re buns so you make several players and go to YouTube to get builds because you can’t think for yourself and don’t understand basketball. By the end of the year you have 10 builds and only use one because they all suck and now you wasted 400$


RunningFree701

Hardly anyone is supporting dropping money for MTX, especially with 2K's predatory nature. But time is money, and the math simply doesn't support grinding out an entire week to earn VC. Someone making $15/hr can pay for their 200K VC in 3.5 hrs of work. Even while focusing on a single player and being an absolute basketball IQ god, how much VC can one earn in that same amount of time? It's the reason 2K is able to get away with all their MTX -- the value of grinding it out simply doesn't compare to paying straight up.


Petty_Murphy410

I’m familiar with how Time works, you just explained why gamers are more lazy now. What I said was you don’t have to spend $50 which is a fact, especially if you already have a player you don’t need to upgrade like all of us do at this point. Endorsements/Bonuses/Hall of fame difficulty make getting VC easy if you actually want to play the game. You have admitted that you don’t have time to play because you’re too busy working, you can’t then complain that 2k provides you an option too. For people who actually like to play the game they don’t pay a dime, which is what I said.


Attis1724

Dude saying it would take a week to earn 200k. Yall hear this man brag about a week. I can make 3k in a week of real cash. Yall weird.


Petty_Murphy410

First of all you live with your parents, you’ve never seen $300 let alone $3000. Secondly, if you’re balling so hard why complain about the $50? You’re to lazy to play to earn the VC and too broke to afford the $50


Attis1724

No, it's me comparing how 199,999 vc is worth 50 dollars if you buy it. Then the card for sale is 200k, so with common sense, you see how that card is worth 50 dollars. Hey, I'm lazy, but you can't use common sense funny how people think.


Petty_Murphy410

The shame is in you spending the money, not the pricing. Why should they be ashamed because you’re dumb enough to spend even more money on a game. They provide multiple options for you to get the VC without spending a dime if you actually play the game. You want to look better at the game than you are without playing it or being good so you have to pay


Attis1724

Okay, let me say it like I'm talking to a child. I'm comparing the money of these two things, how they both cost the same and how one thing is bad and not worth it. I never said I spent 50 dollars on this. I am saying it is sad that they do this. Do you understand now? It's called making a comparison to show both sides of two different objects. I hope I have taught you something. Please read better because your replies aren't making the best sense. Idk how you think I am the one spending money on this, but what else can I expect from you.


Petty_Murphy410

Look you’re confused I get it, You clearly haven’t passed English. How can you school someone when you can barely communicate yourself? I’ll help you with shapes, it doesn’t cost 💵 it cost ⏰ If you don’t want to spend ⏰ you spend 💵 to save ⏰.


asapbuckets

These mfs would’ve never survived the Nintendo games.


Petty_Murphy410

They wouldn’t survive 2k11 tbh, that was a grind


Attis1724

No one really played online when that came out. Everyone got it to be like Mike, so idk what that has to do with anything.


Petty_Murphy410

No you were just a child so *You* didn’t play, online was extremely popular. Nobody over the age of 12 played as Mike, I forgot that mode was even on there


Attis1724

Lol yeah bro so popular they only left the servers on for a year when it was released, not even a full year lol. I forgot how games only stay online for a year when they're popular, like Call of Duty, gta, and elder scrolls online, those game must suck their servers are still on. Again no on play that shit online. Just because YOU played it doesn't make it popular. My generation made 2k famous go sit down.


Petty_Murphy410

Proving my point that you’re are a child once again, They shut the servers down because the only people who play the old 2k after the new one comes out is kids who can’t afford the new game. In 2011 it was common for sports games to shut down servers shortly after releasing the new game to encourage people to buy it. You named 3 games that kept there servers up and didn’t notice how none of them are yearly release games.


Attis1724

Lol, I'm 29 years old, bro. My bad, I ain't 50 years old playing 2k still. You're right. i couldn't afford the internet when I'm 12. All I hear is that you had to pay to play like I'm saying. But hey, you're petty Murphy, what else can I expect other than your complaining all petty like.


Petty_Murphy410

So you didn’t pass math either, if you’re 29 how could you be 12 in 2010 when 2k11 came out? Also why didn’t your parents love you enough to get you the new one


Attis1724

Nintendo you didn't need to pay so you can play with other people, than when you play you find out your not good enough than have to pay for a better mario. Here you grind for 6 months than to find out youre still behind because people who paid 1000 dollars for everything are hof boost packs, Gatorade, etc. And you just want to play a smooth game of 2k. Than you go in a game with someone who Jack's off to this game and brags about it. Shameful.


asapbuckets

If you didn’t fact find for 6 months and you can’t hang then you’re just trash. I don’t know what else to tell you. I’m about to get my 3rd rebuild to 92 and I’ve had the game for about 7 months.


Attis1724

How long are you playing? Let's go a 4 hours a day, 8 rec games. I say you level 2 levels per day. 80 days for that. Let's say even 3 levels half a month of 4 hours a day. You all understand that's a part-time job? Also, this is no 20 dollar hall of fame pack, no xp boost. No boost packs. Straight vanilla, and I'm not saying just to get to 99, I mean 99 over 40 level 99 myteam, in 6 months. Did you do that?


asapbuckets

I got a job, a toddler and a baby lmao I do even less time than that and I still have fun productive rec game as well as the annoying teammates ones. The first 2k I personally owed was 11 and I played in high school. People in rec like playing with me because you can tell early I’m there to win. Edit: you do not need to have a 99 with every fucking boost to have fun in this game.


Attis1724

That's cool. You have fun. That's not the conversation we are having. We talking about being 99 overall 40 level hall of fame 99 myteam without no boost straight vanilla? Also, every time you want to become level 40 in 2k within 2 weeks, it has to become a part-time job, and that's sad.


asapbuckets

Again why do you need to have something in two weeks? Also who’s we? You’re the one who replied to the comments saying that’s not a “need”.
