I did not know that NBA 2K14 had a companion app. Downloaded it and it has a few things that can help earn VC. Every day you get a random amount of VC. Yesterday I earned 1000 VC. You can also pick the games which help you earn some VC as well. I do think I will be passing on anymore NBA 2K as long as they do VC. The grind to earn VC will just get worse because 2K will continue to try and push people to spend real money to get VC.

I haven't had any issues earning the VC it just takes time and getting achievements within the game to increase it faster

Re: Xbox One Random Thoughts

Yeah I think they've made it better than last year. I've gotten my rookie all the way up to an overall 80 rating and I'm just around the All-Star break. And I like how you don't have to get stuck in the monotony of all these boring *** practice scenarios over and over again just to scrap and claw for some extra VC.

Same here a few days from the AS break and I'm at 82 the choices for some of the challenges are odd and turn u into a ball hog

Re: Xbox One Random Thoughts

Yeah, some of the in game goals are ridiculous and counter intuitive. One of the ones I despise the most is when the coach basically mocks you and says okay superstar that you think you are score the next 10 straight points, and then if you get an assist you are punished and fail that goal. That was stupid.

Now everytime I put a disc in it reads. "Try an Xbox one game, a music cd, or a movie on blu-ray or DVD"



I guess I will have to call Microsoft and get a replacement.

Re: Xbox One Random Thoughts

Only issues I'm having lately is it boots me to the main screen when playing some games. Hoping that new update helps with that and also makes it easier to accept and create games and party

Re: Xbox One Random Thoughts

My COD stopped working yesterday. Would boot up and then just go to a black screen.

Uninstalled it, and reinstalled it which of course took an hour...

Only for it to do the same thing. Repeated the same thing. Same thing happened.

Wasn't going to uninstall it again so I just unplugged my Xbox One completely. Turned it back on, and boom, it worked again.

That all being said, I am glad I have a warranty. The thing is bound to break at some point, IMO.

Taking an hour to install something a little over a Gig in file size OFF A DISC is pretty bad.

Microsoft has a ton of kinks and bugs to work out. I have faith, though. For now.

Re: Xbox One Random Thoughts

Yeah, I feel like this was clearly a wobbly start for the Xbox One, but at the same time it's easy to see how it will probably all come together over the next year or so.

It sucks that we have to basically be beta testers by being the early adopters, but it's still a good system even now, overall. But a lot of room for improvement, definitely.

The first year of the 360 was worse than this one.

That one always pisses me off when I see it especially now that I am playing as a pg. How do you get penalized because you got your teammate involved and did not try to be a ball hog.

It felt so nice to stomp Jackson Ellis and send his team home with a 25 point loss.

Read that Elder Scroll Online will be $60 retail and then have a monthly charge of $15.
