Apparently, the shirts that were confiscated featured copyrighted logos and designs that mimic real brands. MyCareer mode is a feature that basically allows players to create custom shirts. The shirts can then be voted on by other players, and those that accumulate 100 votes are sold by 2K on its storefront. It’s nba coins to note though that these cosmetic items can only be used by players in the myPark mode — a 3 on 3 street basketball game. The problem here isn’t only about the copyrighted content, however. The custom shirts were sold on 2K’s storefront, and players paid for nba coins using virtual currency, VC. Players can earn VC the hard way by playing games. But they also have the option of just purchasing VC with real money.

Hence, losing the cosmetic items either hurt the player’s effort to obtain hard-earned VC or their wallet. One player affected by 2K’s move has shared his problem online, saying he had only been refunded 10,000 VC, which is enough to cover for three nba 2k18 mt. The thing is, the refund wasn’t enough because the player bought 10 shirts. Another thing that may have annoyed the player is the fact that 2K confiscated the shirts from his inventory without explanation. “Basically the problem is 2K allowed people to create shirts that were customized to look like Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Balmain, Bape, Supreme etc. as well as NFL, NHL, NCAA jerseys and were making a profit off of the sales of these shirts without paying the respected nba coins for their trademarked logos,” the player explained in a post published on Resetera.
