    read this before picking which version you preorder.

    hey guys...i Just wanted to put this info out there for ppl.

    2k18 is really trying to shove myteam down our throats this year in the preorder "bonus". and instead of offer an 80 and 100 version like last year...they bump it to 100 and 150...insane!!

    where they try to make that value relevant is 100% my team cards...which idk about you...ive never played. and considering myplayer is become a micro transaction must for VC an to stay relevant. why would i play 2 game modes that require me to spend any money.


    further more...for the extra 40 bucks you spend to get the 100 version..you only get 100k vc.

    now..unless they jack up their vc costs..this doesnt make sense if u only care about the VC.

    in 2k17 20 bucks got you 75k vc...so u spend 40$ ( same as increase to legends edition) and you get 50k VC EXTRA!! (150k vc instead of 100) not to mention you get 5k vc for preordering the base version of the game.


    so for the same amount of money you get 55k more vc.

    so unless you play myteam....i would offer this route as an option to get the most vc for your buck!!


    p.s. i wish they let vc transfer from 1 game to another. if i spend 20 bucks for vc on 2k17 an have a balance...why cant it transfer to 2k18....

    if only.

    You don't get 150k instead of 100k VC, you get 250k VC for the legend gold edition.

          thats 150 dollars playboy....i was talking about the 100 dollar version..


          but if u wanna talk about the 150 dollar version....i wonder how much 90$ can buy you of vc in the game. buying 75k for 20 bucks...well..easy math lets yoi figure that 80 bucks gets you 300k vc..


          and yes i know you dont have to buy it....


          i was simply letting ppl know there are other options that get you more vc if thats all you care about.

              Or everyone just buys the regular version and then buys no VC afterwards, so that 2k stops that microtransaction crap in future games...

                you are not getting 250k vc extra...you are getting 250k vc total!! for 90$ more than the 60$ version.

                if you spent 80$ inside the 2k store on vc..you would get 300k in vc...

                you just dont get the myteam packs, the gear your my player prolly wont wear for more than a week...and other pointless items

                  Re: read this before picking which version you preorder.

                  this is why I made this thread...people seriously do not understand how this works with the preorder versions! I will break it down for you.

                  $60 base version =5k VC

                  $100 legends edition = 100k total VC

                  $150 legends GOLD edition = 250k Total VC



                  Buying VC directly inside 2k game gets you more VC than if you spent the extra $40 for the legends edition or the extra $90 for the Legends Gold editions.

                  $40= 150k VC vs 100k VC in legends bonus

                  $90= 350k VC vs 250k vc in legends gold bonus.

                  I can not spell it out for you guys any more clearly than that...

                  if you do not care about the my team bonus...only the vc...you get more vc going this route!!

                    I preordered the base digital game and will buy vc when needed same as i do every year, not much of a myteam player either, and if i do like myteam this year well then i can always buy a pack if needed.

                      Just don't buy it. Everybody here can read. You're prefacing this as some profound source of knowledge that's hidden from the community and it's not. It's general information. We know exactly what's included in every edition of the game. I play MyTeam more than any other mode, so yes I bought the $150 version, but even if I didn't, maybe I'm a Lakers fan, or just like the color gold. I'm the one who goes to work everyday of the week so if I want to spend my money on that, mind your business?

                        dude...you are an idiot!! 100% dumbest response I have ever read!

                        last year we spent 80$ for 100k vc...this year its $100 bucks for the same amount of vc...

                        and you know what..i was about to buy it until I looked at how much it would cost to buy 100k of vc inside the game because I dont care about the my team stuff. once i saw i could get more for the same amount of money i pre ordered the base version.


                        this was just info for people who dont like my team or play it. but were going to pre order for the vc bonus like last year.

                        if i hadnt looked up the costs myself I wouldnt have known...and i imagine others people wouldnt either....

                        all this post was, was an attempt to help others out and put some info out there..

                        and you tell my to mind my own business....

                        GTFO!!

                          LOL 2k did not start the microtranstion game and if you think it's going to end anythime soon you are nuts, as long as people have the option to upgrade their player faster through VC people will take advantage of it so that they can compete on the court. I think last year was the first time i bought VC and it was my choice not 2K forcing me to.

                            Everyone can look at what 2k offers and make an informed decision based on their budget. Do you know how much VC will cost in 2k18? Has it been consistent through all the years?

                              Standard edition, not gonna spend time/money on myteam. Will just play it casually.

                              I wont spend money on vc this year. 2k getting too greedy for my liking.
