NBA 2K19 Gives You a Choice to Grind for Unlocks or Pay Real Money

The sooner people stop buying into this trash, the better. The problem is that most people choose to be stupid. Every single day, I grow even more weary of this stupid world.

It's only a dollar, it's only 5 dollars, what is another 10 to save myself a week of play and have fun today? They have learned it is really easy to get multiple small amounts of money from people because when the dollar amount is low enough typically people can't assess value correctly.

It is like how all companies want you on a subscription model and can easily do it, people will sign up for $5-10 a month things all day long because it doesn't seem like much.

I am okay with microtransaction items as long as it doesnt create a competitive advantage. I don't have the time to play games like I used to, but I am okay losing to someone who can play more than I, but i am not okay with someone who just bought something in the game and can now beat everyone. My opinion is as long as it sticks to cosmetics and they keep adding to it, it does make the games more unique and for games that have a longer expected lifespan, it helps a company sustain it.
 
The hell type of content would you grind for in a sports game anyway? Alternate uniforms? Michael Jordan?
You start at 54 OVR and basically can't shoot, dribble, or pass accurately. Say nothing of rebounding the basketball or playing defense. It takes probably 100 hours to get enough VC to get to 70+ where you can contribute usefully.
 
I won't be getting 2K18 then. Will stick with 17

I think the multiplier returns in 2K19. 2K18 was the biggest grinding piece of garbage I've played. It's comparable to those early Korean F2P MMORPGs (like 9Dragons lol).
