Not sure how (or whether) they can be unlocked on the PC, but the Stars can be unlocked on the consoles using Virtual Coins.

and since the PC doesnt have VC they cant be unlocked. I've already opened up a ticket with 2K support about it and reported the bug in all the appropriate places.

Are virtual coins earned only online? Or how does that work?

I'm not sure how you get VC in consoles. But in PC you can't get VC.

Tell 2K to incorporate VC into the PC version since it would probably be possible by a patch or making everything online..2K needs to integrate the facebook game with the pc "MyCAREER" since you can link your PC 2K account with facebook..

The reason VC and everything involved with it isn't in the PC version (and why MyCAREER is different) is because they knew it would be hacked which would screw up their entire online system based around it. And once it was hacked there, the console versions would also get hacked very quickly. (This may have happened already.)

FIFA 13 also uses coins and they also have a web based interface, and I don't see a lot of hacks.

I don't know if FIFA is the series you want to point to regarding an unexploited online system.

how about just recreating those "superstars" in create player mode, and assigning them the cyberfaces?

Have anyone know something more about that. I tweeted Ronnie2K and LD2k about 50 times about this and others issues PC gamers have, but I never got an answer. They are so bussy RTing tweets about the most amazing feature in NBA 2K13: They tweeting in the game.

solovoy, you're going about it wrong. Love from @Ronnie2K and @LD2k after 2K13's PC version? No. What happens, we'll have to do ourselves. I've given up waiting on 2K, really.

I know, I give up. I deleted all my tweets. I made a lot of tests with Cheat Engine, but I couldn't found anything.

Does anyone have the Xbox or PS3 version, maybe the prices are in the roster and we can down them to 0.

i was hoping that it was overall rating based, but its not. Just lowered Rondo down to 25 OVR and he didnt show up.

I tried changin the contract, but that didn't work either. With Cheat Engine I searched for some numbers that are the same in locked players but different in unlocked, I found a couple of them but no one worked.

I tried a lot of them. Right now I'm doing some researching. Nothing founded yet.

For what I saw in some videos, the prices aren't in the game, they are in the cloud, so I'm not sure about searching for prices.

What I'm doing is searching values that doesn't change in locked players (AI, Lebron, CP3, Jordan, etc). and that change in available players.
