It would be nice if we could sell or trade RP's

I have no use for RP's. I have hundreds and hundreds of them saved up. It sure would be nice if we could swap them for SP's. Maybe not at an even rate but some kind of trade value.

I haven't used a single RP and I never will. Seems a waste.

I was cool with the default clothes, so I bought some shoes. I bought tattoos as well since there wasn't anything else to buy. Progression wasn't too bad at the current rate so I don't know if allowing people to trade points to progress faster would be a good thing.

A lot of people do like to buy new shoes, change up accessories and so on, so that end, it's definitely worth having separate currencies for cosmetic elements and ratings upgrades. I think that's a fantastic approach actually, compared to having to choose how you want to spend VC in NBA 2K's MyCAREER (especially since VC is utilised in other modes as well).

However, since you do earn RP more quickly, and thus can have a lot of it sitting there doing nothing once you're done buying any gear/accessories you want to outfit your player with, I would be in favour of being able to trade it in for SP. Having a 1:1 exchange rate would probably be a little cheap, but with a fair rate, you could sacrifice RP you're not going to use to help build your skills a little quicker.

Well, maybe an option to not gain RP in the game, or be able to set a limit on how much we accumulate.

But something like a 10:1 exchange rate isn't really going to earn a lot of skill points. I have accumulated 281,000 RP's over the course of 1 season, playoffs and 10 games into the 2nd season. At the 10:1 exchange rate that would give me 28000 SP's extra SP's over that time period. Seems like a lot maybe but if so the rate can be adjusted up if that's what they think.

But to have that many RP's, which I "earned" and not have anything do use them for, kinda silly. I'd rather have an option to not earn RP.

Turning off the ability to earn them may not be feasible to implement, and would be overkill since you can just ignore RP if you're not going to spend it. As I said though, implementing a trade-in option is something I'm in favour of.

Progressiom was good in Live Run/online. I dont know about single player offline mode. i guess it depends on how many games you actually play in a season

How about letting me sell them to someone who could use them? :)

They're probably not going to go for that, but on a similar note, it'd be handy if they could be used for other things, like buying Ultimate Team coins (or packs directly, at a higher cost of RP than Ultimate Team coins). As I said, I've used some RP to outfit my Rising Star player for LIVE Pro-Am, but aside from perhaps picking up some more shoes, I've more or less got everything I want now. Since Ultimate Team games do earn RP, it'd be nice to be able to use them in that mode as well.

So, you wanna buy my RP's? :lol:
