My nba 2k18 player has went away and I bought 60$ on that player and I also had badges.

same thing happened to me!

I've been playing NBA 2K14 on the Xbox One and it has micro transactions also. It is a grind to upgrade your player's attributes, but it's fun seeing how my player gets better incrementally with each game. I bought some currency but still had a lot more
things to buy. I don't see the problem. It's a pretty brilliant business model but looks horrible and greedy to some people. If my player was maxed all the way, I wouldn't have much incentive to keep playing.

I actually was playing it befor and then i tured it off to play cod mw2 and went back to nba 2k12 and i didnt get my achievements for "start in a my player game " and " Become the player of the game "

My Player is great. Association is broken. Why are teams shooting 75% in the first 3 quarters and then 25% in the 4th quarter? Every away game so far does this. Playing defense has no effect. I've had 3 people guarding guys when they take a shot and it still
goes in. lol!! It's horrible. NBA 2K11 is so much better. Why do my player not run or get back on defense? I hit the turbo and my stamina bar starts to go down and the play continues to trot at the same speed. lol!! Completely broken. It wasn't like this in
NBA 2K11. I still play 2K11. My player is terrible in 2K11 and Association is terrible in 2K12. My players move like they are running in molasses have the time. It's ridiculous. Response time between the controller and player is horrendous. I push the analog
and the player takes 2-3 secs to move. What a joke.
