While they have offered numerous pre-order incentives, NBA 2K games are notorious for their blatant use of in-game purchases sometimes to the detriment the game it self.

This damage can be observed in the most recent MyCareer campaigns, where Cheap 2K23 MT is gradually removing a lot of the features that made free progression through MyCareer stories rewarding with each release; VC earned through the game is now drastically cut off, and gameplay incentives like the VC boosts that players receive for playing on higher difficulties have been completely removed.
