Shutting down the servers while still selling 2k22 at full price shows how little 2K cares about the consumers.

[MDB]

2K has been closing their servers faster and faster 😢

[Anchorwing.]

2k turning into EA was the real heel turn

[ThatCoolGamerGod_YT]

For people who have 2K22 but not 2K23, DO NOT buy 2K23. You might as well just wait a few months for 2K24.

2k19 staying open so long was the best thing for wrestling games since GM mode. I’m still playing it because I had so much extra time to really perfect my roster.

The issue is that people want to keep playing the old game because we don’t trust the new game to be better or even as good. There’s a reason for that distrust.

Agreed
In my opinion sports games shojld release new games every 2-5 years with newer engines, better graphics etc. Yearly is insane for essentially playing the same game with minor tweaks and a roster update

[JustinTyme]

EA is a horrible company, but at least they let they’re servers stay on for years after their games release. The servers for WWE 12 are still up to this day & THQ isn’t even around anymore.

[monkeybone]

I feel like most of this could be remedied with just a few changes, first adding in a local version of the image uploader so we can continue to create wrestlers long after the servers have been turned off, and whenever they release a pack for My Faction, release it as DLC to buy for the main game. Either way 2K and WWE are getting money be it through DLC sales or My Faction micro-transactions. Just those two changes would fix some of my biggest problems with 2K WWE games.

[HappyCloud]

I'd love it if they'd just make a WWE 2K game that they just continually add to instead of having a new game every single year.

[JR-hefn]

I’m going to go back to buying disc copies for games. One day they might tell us we can’t use our digital versions anymore 🙄

[fundamentalconvolution]

I agree with your concerns. What they need to do is just stick with one game and add consistent DLC (reasonably priced), so they only have to have the servers up for one game at a time. Then, when they make a significant enough upgrade, then consider a new game. But, they likely make a lot more money this way, so i doubt it'll happen any time soon.

[somnusha]

As someone who still plays 2k22 and hasn’t updated to the new game I have to say I’m saddened. The reason I haven’t bought the new one is because of unemployment issues and stuff, it breaks my heart that the game is shutting down and I won’t be able to meet the fun people online anymore (until I eventually get the new one)

[Squiggle]

At this point I just want a game called WWE 2K and they just update it with new talent and legends new arenas, match types and a fantastic creation suite it just means that everyone who is a wwe 2k fan are on the same game and it makes it easier for 2k to release updates

[rogerpace]

i agree with you 100% Matt because back in the ps3 2k14 once you downloaded the created wrestlers you will have them to play with out the internet and still make the game still valuable to play but 2k needs to do better in making these yearly games better for consumers but it's all about the money and putting out the product every year.

[officiallawguy]

It’d be awesome if there was a list of every single secret and hidden character you can download off of community creations for 2K22 so you could make sure to pick up the ones you want before January.

[KingSlashrockerjr]

I went back to 2K19 and 2K22 after completing everything in 2K23 a month ago. 2K shuts down their servers for NBA Games but for WWE that was really quick for them to do.

[kadharefinley]

It’s simple, they want you to buy 2K24

[JacksonLane]

Feel like it was bound to happen sooner rather than later considering outside of 2K19 and 2K20 servers for past games go down I believe 2 to 3 years after release.

[OG-]

As a 2K22 player waiting for 2K24.. I’m gutted
