I was under the impression that GT6 was fundamentally different from FM5 and NBA in the aspect that it didn't change its usual requirements for currency so real money was entirely optional.
Missed something?
is that portion of the game online only ?
My brother plays it fine offline.
They should at least mentioned on the splash screen that it tries to connect to the 2k servers. I started the game today and wondered why it always kept hanging at the splash screen. So I twice deleted and reinstalled twice, thinking the 2k14 files on the drive got corrupted, but that didn't help so I gave up. After trying again now, I can get into the menu, but only because PSN is down for maintenance and it won't even try to authenticate.
This shit right here is bonkers. It's like they were going for a minimalist look with the main screen menu, but it looks like complete horse shit. My little brother thought I was playing a flash game when I first booted the game up on the TV.There is no option on the first menu to reach Practice/Tutorial, Blacktop, Roster Creator, Online Games, Online leagues - those are on a second menu that scrolls horizontally for some odd reason.
They do this secretly after launch, after reviews, after people who would've NEVER bought an online-only game has bought it? That's fucking awful, and I eagerly await the upcoming shitstorm. I hope there are review updates.
I don't know about not allowing you to play the game offline (pretty sure I've done it recently), but the game straight up has the worst menus of any game I've ever played. Not only is it ugly as hell but it is extremely difficult to find what you're looking for.

I'm still getting NBA2k14. From what I have seen, and played, it's a lot of fun. Folks talking about some modes are a grind but how else would the game be worth $60 if a game is not 40 hours or longer to beat? Ofcourse currency needs to be validated, especially when you can pay real money to get some. I don't have much empathy for most of these complaints. I have to laugh at the complaining about the rpg mode. I have seen laymen folks praise that mode anyways.
Anyways, just worst fears, not going to get hysterical about it.
Looks like they've changed it a bit. Now they just decide to lock you out of modes that use VC.
This is horrible. smh
is VC still not in the PC version?
2K14 was like this one day one. There was nothing "patched in" that changed it. I noted it in impressions/review and we talked about it in the podcasts. If you don't have a connection to the 2K server (whether internet is down, PSN down, 2K server down) you'll be unable to continue playing your MyCareer or MyGM saves. Of course anything online related like NBA Today and MyTeam goes away too then. With the frequency that 2K servers are down that is always a concern. However if you start a MyCareer or MyGM offline you would be able to continue it offline. You just can't continue an online one because the saves are stored and they have the VC system tied into their servers. It's a mess of a setup regardless.
when I first got the game and PSN was down I was able to connect to the game modes you mentioned, and was able to get to the menu screen pretty fast. This is not the case now. When I turned off my router and PS4 and booted it up and clicked on the NBA 2K14 game it set on the Lebron screen for 5 mins before I gave up and decided the OP must be correct. I did see that others said it took 10+ mins before the menus popped up but who the hell is going to wait that long? Defiantly not some new user who just bought the game and don't know he has to wait that long to get into the menus. Regardless the game is a hot mess if it didn't have this problem.
Are they legally allowed to do this?
What if you bought the game as an offline experience and now you can't play it because its online only?
That is changing the criteria for use AFTER release!
Its like a cell phone company changing the usage requirements AFTER the contract is signed.
That is really loathesome..
Damn this thread is super misleading. Mods should modify the title.
I planned to buy the game... preorder cancelled, for real.
Holy shit, they want VC for every damn thing in the game? What the fuck, can't adjust lineups, have to spend currency to unlock to be able to do that hat? tattoos on my player cost? What else? EVERYTHING, oh my lord, I can't believe I fell for this, I spent $60 on this? Someone do something! This is what happens when there is no competition. Fml
