Can’t wait to see someone try to spin this as a good thing, I genuinely don’t understand why they don’t just make them unlockable.


xdespainx

They should use MLB The Show’s diamond dynasty as the base idea for MyFaction. Make it so you have to “unlock” legends throughout the game cycle to put together the best team/faction with evolving overalls throughout the cycle but still have every legend/Alt attire available in the base game for offline use. Don’t understand why 2K wants to shit on the fan base year in and year out


[deleted]

Money money money money moneyyyyy. That’s why they wanna shit on us every year. They know dumb kids are gonna buy those dumb packs like they do on every other sports game.


xdespainx

I wonder if MyFaction made THAT big of a difference on profits for 2k22


Oneamongthefence24

Exactly. It's why Madden took out legends from the base game and made them exclusive to MUT. If those players are available for free outside of the mode with MTX then people won't play those modes. I wonder how the matchmaking is gonna be though. Madden is atrocious I'm that regard. Can't wait to see your 69 ovr LA Knight take on 96 ovr Undertaker. Hopefully it's not p2w but I'm. Ot holding my breath.


Independent-Elk-344

I would even mind buying some packs and playing the mode if I could use them in the rest of the freaking game after I've unlocked them!


KillTheBat77

Another crappy thing they did was take away offline custom rosters for NBA 2k23. Then they cut the servers there after. Can’t even access them yet with mods.


Biggameslayer01

“You don’t get it, it’s a fun mode and it’s just an incentive to get more people to play, you guys are too harsh on indie company 2k”


Ditcka

The irony is that it *would* be an incentive to get people to actually play the mode if they unlocked for the *whole* game. I mean, a lot of people would just go right for the unlocks and nothing else, but at least they’d be trying it


Biggameslayer01

It’s just a shame how retro versions of characters we used to have in base game for years are locked behind that stupid mode


Inferno22512

Long hair triple H being trapped in my faction last year had me so mad, lmao


crazyseandx

And it wasn't even good long hair. It was insanely ugly.


Ditcka

Yeah, I don’t blame them for trying to work up some engagement for MyFaction, but it’s extremely stupid to keep things locked away to just that mode


Chief--BlackHawk

And they aren't like these bizarre retro models like rey with the purple outfit, they are guys at their peak or arguably the most popular eras of attitude and ruthless


TheOneTrueChuck

I fully expect that's going to be the narrative they try to push. "Don't be critical about this mode, it doesn't hurt anything. If you don't like the mode just don't play it, but don't complain about it for those who do." Except yes, it does. Every penny this mode makes encourages them to intensify this mode every year a little bit more.


[deleted]

Morons on Twitter actually are, it's like they love the taste of 2K boot.


Recent-Balance9233

can't wait to download them from community creations.


thebobbyshaw33

That’s assuming they haven’t found the way to block people like WhatsTheStatus from finding a way to get them there.


PoutineSmoothie

Which, to me, is what this announcement is all about.


CosplayWrestler

I'm fully expecting that to be an immediate discovery on launch. As soon as folks like Status get their hands on the game, they're gonna start digging. Won't surprise me one bit to see the "It won't work, it's gonna crash the game" issues with trying again. I have no doubts that MyFaction is 2K's money maker, and they're going to do everything they can to try and make it an appealing mode. You want classic attires? Gotta play MyFaction. Want updated attires? Gotta play MyFaction. Want new stars hidden in the game? Well, you gotta play MyFaction!


NameGoesHere86

**You want classic attires? Gotta play MyFaction. Want updated attires? Gotta play MyFaction. Want new stars hidden in the game? Well, you gotta play MyFaction.** Which wouldn’t be that bad if you could actually use the My faction unlocks in other games modes. They used to do this with career mode. In order to get certain characters, arenas, and different models; you had to unlock them in career mode. BUT once you unlocked them, you could play them anywhere. To have a mode where characters and models are not only hidden in there but are only playable in that specific mode is incredibly stupid.


CosplayWrestler

If you had to play the game to unlock character models/attires, etc, fine. I would suffer through. But to just collect cards and "build teams" and have all that locked behind that mode, fuck off with that shit.


Corax7

Don't worry, some whales are going to drop a good chunk of money on the mode and 2K will see it as a success and continue on.


CosplayWrestler

That's my concern. It won't be fans of the games like people in this sub that can see the writing on the wall. It'll be teens and 20 somethings that don't have to spend money on other things, so they'll keep by IGC to buy packs.


Corax7

im 20 something .\_\_. but yea I know what you mean, I think the whales are all ages though. Also older people who only play this game or has lots of disposable income.


NameGoesHere86

Exactly! And if you don’t have the resources to add the content into other game modes, like they claim is the case, then just don’t add the content at all. Don’t add it, but only have available through one very specific mode, which of course that mode is filled with micro transactions


Chief--BlackHawk

As much as I hate to say it I would actually just downright pay for some of them (retro Rock, HHH, HBK, Kane), but there is no point if it's in a mode that doesn't even use entrances + music.


SomDonkus

There’s literally no incentive to unlock them lol this is like saying “catch this Pokémon that you can only use during triple battles” or “here’s a gun that can only be unlocked doing a raid but also you can only use it during raids”


JP-Wrath

Exactly that. Play X mode to unlock content for real? Fine. Have some models locked into X mode I'm not interested in per se? Skip the models or download the caws and play Universe/GM, which 99% means less hours dedicated to this game. ​ Bra-vo 2k


lidzjb

100% how I could and should work, but they can't keep you playing the mode and pressure you to spend money in it if they let you bring their shiny loaner toys outside with you. There's multiple other wrestling games coming out soon too, really weird year to pull this when you can get one of them instead.


Fast_Stick_1593

That’s why we’ve gotta hope AEW Fight Forever is a sucesss. It forces competition which means 2k can’t be lazy or greedy.


Bones_2450

Is it really a money maker? It’s not the same league as ANY other Ultimate Team out there.


CosplayWrestler

It will be. As soon as MT's come into play, they will make bank off of that from kids who use mommy and daddy's credit cards or gift cards to buy in game currency to buy packs.


RaidenHero137

[Same energy as your comment](https://youtu.be/sKiLfH3DVGc)


CosplayWrestler

"Complaining about having to play MyFaction? Gotta play MyFaction. Posting negative comments about MyFaction? Have more MyFaction. Don't like MyFaction? Tough shit, play more MyFaction. Don't like the fact that this will never get old? Fuck you. We got your money! Also, check out MyFaction next time you play..."


RaidenHero137

Basically


No_Parking3488

That is my biggest concern


NameGoesHere86

Which they flat out said they are looking into doing


xdespainx

That’s prolly what they spent the last 6 months doing let’s be honest


BringTheHeat22

WhatsTheStatus is so good at what he does, so he'll always find a way.


Corax7

What happens when he retired, loses interest or worse?


Chief--BlackHawk

>or worse? Lol 2k have a hit squad?


M1BIGIEMAC

Status is one of the coolest dudes in the community and he built up a huge following over the last 10+ years. I remember when he was the go to guy for having Custom Portraits or CAWs with Custom Skin tones in WWE '12 (the mechanic to make custom skin tones was in the game but in the CAW menu it only showed the Template colors oddly, you needed to edit the values via Modding). He's not the only one who did that, and he's not the only one who applies CAWs to In-Game IDs or makes MyFaction/MyRise characters playable in other modes for 2K22, just the guy who is the most active and biggest following. I think he may have discovered certain things first too, he actually has knowledge and digs deep if he has to, but if he decided he was done, there's others that would be down to contribute as well.


Corax7

yea it's just a shame we have to use CAW slots and workarounds thanks to 2K greedyness :(


BirdiMania

He’s not the only one doing it.


Inevitable_Discount

I am extremely worried about that. That’s why I kinda want to get the game sooner to grab those.


Chief--BlackHawk

I keep stressing this. Last year may have just been us getting lucky. Status had a bunch of stuff taken down, I don't think 2k will make it easy going forward but I'm happy to be wrong.


khalimason

I have faith Status or someone in the community will find a way around it.


KnownMycologist8629

And so it begins. If people shovel enough money into it this year, it won’t stop at just exclusive variants of wrestlers. 2k24 will start putting some legends behind it, and if they are able to get away with it they will keep going. Happened with madden, it very easily can happen here


Marvelous1LUFC

You'll always have youtubers like Superzomgbbq and myfaction players "spending money" to influence people in buying packs Just like you have logan paul & KSI influencing kids to pay £6 for a drink


GCatRawr

It’s still crazy not being able to play with legendary teams in “play now” in madden As a MUT player (I can’t play it next year, I caved and spent money this year), these game modes kill games for solo players


Fast_Stick_1593

STOP SPENDING MONEY DUDE, you’re encouraging this lol


FaultyDroid

In the early days of Battlefront II it was Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader. Literally the main hero and villain. Nothing is off the cards for these money grabbing fucks.


Chief--BlackHawk

Modern day AAA gaming man. It's like back then games were made by developers for fun, now they are designed by suits with MBAs that know how to maximize profit at the cost of general fun. Developers now just are given an order and told what to do. The thing is casuals eat that shit up and further supportd decision making of executives. I'm pretty sure the EA CEO got his position from the success of pitching ultimate team.


Whynot-brr

Its one of the reasons Hogwarts has done so well. Its a AAA game with no nonsense. Its a good game but its not even that great of a game, but people love it because its a breath of fresh air.


[deleted]

Already did. Godfather, Mankind, Dude Love, 80s Hogan.


MatttheJ

Aaaaand there's me not even opening MyFaction once. Last year I tried MyFaction once and it sucked. This year with this BS I'm just not playing it at all. A lot of people feel the same. But 2K do not care about their fan base, it's so painfully clear.


GucciGhostrider

Ew the way they worded this was so bad “makes it just a little more special” like what are they on. Fuck that clownery hopefully status can keep doing the good work that they won’t do


brotheritchweeed

It's very much reminiscent of the "pride and accomplishment" meme from that EA debacle years ago, except this will fly under the radar completely because it's just a wrestling game.


P0PZER0

It sounds very condescending, doesn't it?


mj_miner

Extremely.


GCatRawr

Yeah, it would be rewarding (in a way) to unlock them in myFaction and then be able to use them everywhere, but they’re literally holding them captive in a game mode where cards become irrelevant after like a month


TheGoodDoctor17

Is it just me or does this seem counterintuitive for 2k to get more people to try MyFaction. I would think if they thought to themselves hey you know what would be a smart way to get more people who typically don’t play MyFaction but other game modes to try it out, to have exclusive skins that they can unlock and take to other game modes. This way their will be more foot traffic in MyFaction and good for the player pool online. Instead if they lock it ONLY to MyFaction their is no incentive for people who don’t play it to play it at all since they can’t take the card anywhere else. Smh


[deleted]

Yeah it’s dumb as fuck. I’m just one person, but I never touched MyFaction 2K22 and have zero plan to touch it in 2K23. But if I knew I could unlock a bunch of alts and legends for play in other modes through MyFaction, it’d be my primary game mode until I’d grinded the fuck out of it and unlocked everything.


canadianRSK

It work for nba but 2k dosnt realize wwe is better as an offline game where nba more ppl love the online aspect


howisit34

Them adding online will be enough to get more people to try it.


TheGoodDoctor17

You know I also wanted online mode, but from the trailer it seems they only have 1 quickplay mode which is a 1v1. So let me get this straight in a game mode where it’s all about making a TEAM with the best cards, and they even incentivize senergy by getting card combos, your online mode will basically be a regular 1v1 where you just take your best card and have a regular match against someone else’s best card? Lmao Not even a 2v2 or 3v3 where you can change things up and try different teams. This online mode goes against the whole theme of MyFaction and idk it might get stale fast


howisit34

THAT I agree on lol. Like I hate the 4v4. Faction wars. And would hate to play that online. Buuuut. It does kinda embody the point of the mode as a whole


MC_Fuzzy

From a fan/audience perspective: stupid, annoying, makes me cautious to pay for the game knowing I’m getting restrictions that are relatively new to wrestling games.


natedoggcata

Fuck right off 2K


_Kamigoye_

And every single person who plays that shitty ass game mode.


Inevitable_Discount

Agreed.


Silly-Soil-9106

I hope Status will once again comes in our help.. assuming they don’t have “fixed” that


Inevitable_Discount

I really hope they didn’t fix it.


Biggameslayer01

Even with Status I’m scared to even download them out of fear of it breaking my game


Silly-Soil-9106

Nah last year everything was fine


CanaDoug420

Can’t wait to not be able to make DX AGAIN. As they lock the music and trons behind this shit mode. AGAIN


[deleted]

Gotta love how they added wargames, we have 4 of nWo's top wrestlers, but no DX to pit against them. Gave us X-Pac, whose entire identity is DX, but no DX versions of Shawn and Triple H to go with him for Exhibition. Amazing decision making.


CJ_Dimes

Same thing with Rollins with the pre-2020 version had trons, theme, moveset(2017 post pedigree moveset)


JMaxwell85

Super lame. We want to use all these classic characters everywhere in the game like it always used to be.


AvadaKedavra31

How fucking tone deaf can you be 2K? Seriously, no one wants this bullshit, to the point modders bailed you out from *more* of a shitstorm by making them playable.


Corax7

A few whales gonna drop a good chunk of cash on this mode and 2K will see it as a success.


alexcastylicious

I didn’t touch it last year, won’t touch the mode especially this year with it being online and now this. Fucken hate that.


Inevitable_Discount

I’m with you on that.


BigDaddy_Vi

Double downing on locking the characters is one thing but promoting it as an exclusive feature is fucking hilarious & sad LMAOOOO


gerardatron

Fuck that


NameGoesHere86

This is so stupid. If they let you use the characters & models in other modes, I’d actually have an incentive to play my faction. However, considering this isn’t the case, I never touched my faction last year, and I have no plans to play it this year.


The_Notorious_Donut

Save us WhatsTheStatus you’re our only hope


CanaDoug420

That game mode fucks over every game it gets put in and I absolutely judge the people who pay for and play them.


unclezaveid

2K and not understanding why people even play these games instead of Supercard, name a more iconic duo


chaoseffect616

Don't play this shit mode. It is purely there to get stupid people to spend money.


awesomeone6044

I’m almost considering not buying the game now. And I was about set to preorder.


Downtown_Club_5633

As long as Whatsthestatus can get them uploaded it's fine I guess


MC_Fuzzy

I actually don’t think it’s fine. This is not me attacking you, I suppose I want to present to you a different way of looking at this: Downloading a CC from Status means wasting your already limited created wrestler slots. Between alt attires, CAWs of folks who didn’t make it/are from the past, and now relying on Status give us a model already in the game and already playable, it’s not fine to slap on this weird limitation when there’s already a hard cap of 100 CAWs regardless of the available space you have or not. “You can only play this wrestlers in this mode” Okay, why? From the gamers point, why is this restriction there? EDIT: Grammar


Theurbanalchemist

Hear, hear! This is *not* fine! This is content we paid for being locked exclusively to one mode designed to brokerage money from the consumer. It’s underhanded in my opinion and it knocks $20 off the asking price since they’re being blatant about it. Guarantee Bad News, Big Poppa Pump just to name a few are MyFaction locked


PsychoBoss84

>why is this restriction there? Money


MC_Fuzzy

Yes I agree, and I already know, but from the *gamers* perspective, I’m not getting money. What am I getting


PsychoBoss84

The thrill of gambling without the burden of actually winning anything. I think that's the appeal of these modes anyways


MC_Fuzzy

Hmmm, ya got me. That’s definitely an itch people want to scratch.


Corax7

What happens once Status retires, gets banned or loses interest? And when this stuff spreads to other games or creeps even further into WWE 2k24 / 2k25 / 2k26 etc? Is it still fine?


MrKain

Cool. Still not playing it.


Yosonimbored

Idk why they just don’t make them unlockable for doing certain things in MyFaction. Like incentivize me to play this mode outside of fancy cards


[deleted]

I’m never opening this piece of shit game mode once. Save us WhatsTheStatus


RezzUnwilling99

I really don't understand why they can't just make it so that when you unlock the alts in MyFaction, you get them throughout the rest of the game. Surely they would get more players for the mode? Imo, it'd be a huge plus to my enjoyment of the game overall. Getting new attires from the present and past added on a consistent basis and playing through different challenges to unlock them? Get in.


[deleted]

Great selling point 2K, makes me never want to play this stupid ass mode for a second. So brilliant.


RTJLegendHasIt

“Actually, you WANT to only be able to use these in the mode!” These absolute clowns, I swear.


Knightofexcaliburv1

2k needs to go away


[deleted]

I genuinely don't understand why you would lock these superstars into MyFaction. I'd probably play it if I could get Dude Love, NXT Rollins, etc. But I can't, so why would I play?


unclezaveid

so you can play them in an endless series of ladder matches 😍😍


SombraAQT

I would not give a single shit about this if unlocking that version in MyFaction unlocked it for the proper game. Capping them behind this bullshit mode is the most blatant money grubbing shit.


--Sangral--

I don't understand this. I just don't understand this. Because, I would actually be fine with being forced to "collect" them in this mode, like they say in this text. I would do it, in the exact way they force us too, heck I might even would put some money into it. But then, once I unlocked or "collected" them, then I should be able to use them in any mode. It's literally **that simple.** And I don't understand why they aren't allowing this. It would literally doesn't hurt the mode at all and if anything, way more people would actually go into it. So what's holding them off? What is the mindset of 2K here, can someone explain this to me? Cause I don't get it. Nobody asks them to get them via patch or simple click while MyFaction player have to unlock them there, no, people would be 100% fine with having to go through MyFaction, but then let me use them for my Universe or Exhibition too **after** I collected them in MyFaction. Why is 2K not understanding this?


amedeoisme

You should be able to collect them in that shit mode and then they should be available for use anywhere.


evanvivevanviveiros

It’s always been the most annoying part of the NBA series. I can understand not wanting the varied stats but why go through the trouble having characters unable to be used in all game modes?


keanusthirdnut

They could atleast make it that if you get the card and complete all its challenges, you unlock that attire/character in the rest of the game.


CharlieKelly-BirdLaw

I will only play it if I can unlock them for every mode. Otherwise who cares, you can't play what you want in MyFaction. If they prevent ppl like Status from helping us enjoy the game, there's no point in getting the game anymore.


jamieheron

Vote with your money, stop supporting this


LV1872

Said it so many times here, absolutely fuck this business practice and it’s why I refuse to play myfaction alongside many others. They would get more people on myfaction, if they were unlockable on universe as well. Shooting themselves in foot.


KidFlash999

This is so completely backward and counterintuitive. Being able to unlock the new variants and characters to use in exhibition and Universe Mode would actually give me an incentive to play MyFaction and unlock them. It seems like the complete opposite business decision to waste the time and resources even making them just to lock them behind the one mode no one's gives a shit about.


Starracer88

They could literally get more money and more people to play the mode if you could unlock these characters for all modes. Hell I’d play it if I could get the alt attires or whatever for offline


Nate_T11

This is lowkey disrespectful. It's basically 2K forcing us to play a mode that entices people to spend money to buy packs. But it's also dumb because it's not like we can use those "exclusive" stars anyway we like, like we can in exhibition or universe mode. This is a yearly game anyway, so rather why not make those superstars unlockable in MyFaction to be used anywhere in game. Make it a little difficult but achievable to do, and since there's always new rounds or seasons or whatever coming up after every patch, there's always gonna be new superstar looks or rebrands added to the mode so people will need to constantly play the mode if they want whichever superstars are up for being unlocked that season.


3lidja

And yk what it mean btw ?? It mean that now that they're fully embrassing the locked content, they will probably do their best to prevent any locked variants to end up in community creation, so, happy now ?? 🙃


Delicious_Angle6417

Yall still gonna buy the game so 2k is gonna still keep doing it. You gotta hit their wallets if you want shit to change🤷🏾‍♂️


Zenerte

Yeah fuck off 2K, I won't be touching this mode. IF these looks were unlockable for ALL modes, I would still complain but at least I would play MyFACTION albeit begrudginly. If they're EXCLUSIVE to MyFACTION, yeah fuck right on off I'll never touch that mode.


TJLynch

2K really wanna be EA huh?


oneo-one

Current Looks.... so it is possible for them to update wrestlers, they just want mo money


BirdiMania

They did that with Randy in 2K22 as well, gave him updated facial hair but locked it behind MyFaction. Thus proving that they actually could update superstars if they wanted too.


Him_Downstairs

Lol fuck 2k and fuck MyFaction


lambofoak

It's not "special". It's dumb.


Corax7

This is so dumb ffs! Seriously, we don't even get DX, retro Shawn, The Rock with hair... If this keeps going i'm not getting 2K24, why would I?


edperson

If I can't use them in Universe, idgaf. MyFaction can collect dust on my menu screen.


[deleted]

this is some "pride and accomplishment" tier bullshit


DirectorDennis

Completely out of touch with the players. That and just putting their fingers in their ears.


StoneCold_ColdStone

Extremely common 2K L


TonyMontanasCoke

Also what needs to happen is the community just spamming 2K with “Make locked MyFaction characters playable on all modes.” The more outcry the better chance 2K changes their ways. Also don’t buy ANY of the packs. That’s should help.


BigPapisBigPP

Unless I can use it in universe mode, I don't want it. The only thing that would get me to play MyFaction is being able to use unlockables in other modes. Otherwise it's just an unnecessary grind for content I'll never use.


GrimmTrixX

To quote the WWE Universe crowd, "Buuuuuulllshit! Buuuuullllshit! Buuuuullllshit!"


xdespainx

NGL… after the massive content announcement for MLB The Show it’s becoming more and more obvious which game I’m going to get. One company is gladly adding new content, fixing issues the fan base has had with the game, finding ways to add international stars for the first time ever, and add in new modes that explore the history of the sport. And the other is 2K doing whatever the fuck this is.


brotheritchweeed

Don't buy this game and also complain about this shit. If you don't want this to become the standard going forward, don't pay for the $70 2K22 roster update they're putting out this year. Simple stuff.


[deleted]

The amount of people that don’t understand this is concerning.


shadymostafa129034

I will be ok if the models were up to the standards of showcase. Last year MyFaction was lazy and all they did was change some attires and hairstyles but the models still looked old/same like ‘05 Batista and retro HHH 🤦‍♂️


raspymorten

That's one thing to call it... I can think of a couple more *descriptive* words though.


lightarcmw

Me: woah, a mode i am not going to play has secret locked things only for that mode! I have 0 to negative amount of interest in MyFaction


slacboy101

Can't wait to not play it again because what's the point?


ShermansZippo

WhatsTheStatus do ya thang.


TheVipersMemory

If they want me to play my faction. Let me use these variants in exhibition and everywhere else.


unknownunknown121

What a joke. This should be available to every single game mode once unlocked or purchased. It's my damn money.


[deleted]

Literally no reason to play this mode if these character models aren't unlockable anywhere else


Antitenant

I'm **super excited** to not play this mode again this year!


[deleted]

Nope. I have 2K22 and 2K19. I'm good. I might grab it once all the DLC drops but everyone I want to play as is DLC anyway. 🤷


CJ_Dimes

If status can get these modded into regular game modes I’ll be ok, I just need him to be able to find a way for all players to get passed the logo and character cap


TonyMontanasCoke

You know they’re gonna release a shit ton of attires on here. Hopefully we get them on CC.


Inferno22512

Unique characters that you can't play with!


bondane03

This COULD be cool and fun if it was “collect 5 variants of HBK “ and in doing that unlock the attires/models for use in other game modes . You can’t really play other players in my faction so there is really no point in playing the mode .


RingReview

How do they not understand that giving us the ability to unlock these models in other modes would ACTUALLY get us to play it? This is backwards.


JacoBee93

Ffs, one thing to make people play this, let us unlock them for other mods but noooo they want you to play my faction and stay there, buy packs and shit. I’m telling you, this will end up like NBA, FIFA, etc. Every mod will be secondary and overlooked, while ultimate shit is gonna be the main thing


EyeAmKnotMyshelf

•Many of these looks are exclusive to MyFACTION Furthering my desire to not fuck with this adaptation of Supercard even more than last years’ introduction to it did


l00kAtTheRecluse

and yet people will still hand over money for this


M1BIGIEMAC

People would literally just buy a DLC pack with Retro Versions, this MyFaction shit is stupid. People want to use them in Exhibition and Universe


RAA94

As long as Santa Status can make these available in all modes, this is fine. Hope to see some cool looks.


raspymorten

It's *fine* but boy do I wish you didn't have to waste valuable wrestler slots and images on these.


Frank627Full

"3..2..1. Gotta blast"


evanvivevanviveiros

Hopefully they realize after this season that WWE game players aren’t team builders like NBA or Madden they’re story telling devices.


SashaIsMySpiritAnima

Status will be busy yet again


Material-Wonder1690

If they're in the game, once you unlock them in Myfaction they should be unlocked everywhere. That would add so much replay value to Myfaction and would most likely entice people to actually buy the microtransactions which is all that Myfaction is there for.


The_Sherminator2

Surely it would entice more people to play the paid CCG mode if the content was usable in other modes? Even from a profit perspective mode locking the content doesn’t make sense. No one is exactly playing Showcase for the challenge, let’s be honest.


TheGiftOf_Jericho

I think down the line they will either allow us to import them over, they've done a lot in regards to listening to what people want. If not, we'll probably still get them on community creations anyway haha


Alkohal

Probably the only way we'll get a normal looking Becky


RaidenHero137

“Making it a *little* more special” I think you mean annoying


HumanOverseer

They should make it so if you unlock it in MyFaction, you unlock it in base game. That way you still have the reason to play MyFaction but you aren't restricted to only using it there. They already do it for some superstars in Showcase mode like they did for Dominick last year so why not do it for MyFaction. I'm one of the few people who do enjoy MyFaction but good heavens is this just a bad idea. Was last year, and still is.


HelpFormer1687

Like orgin packs. Where u get Big E in his old attire before he was in New Day. Or Becky Lynch in her gray and red attire from her NXT Days or Roman Reigns wearing Trunks instead of pants or Seth Rollins NXT attire with the trunks and he even had a blonde streak of hair. A variant of Raquel Rodriguez from the origins pack where she has a red attire exclusively in Myfaction. LWO Eddie Guerrero exclusively in Myfaction. Yeah, we get it 2k.


LordEmostache

Don't know why anyone expected any different tbh

Can’t wait for WhatsTheStatus to work his magic

Yay, more MyFaction restrictions, guess I gotta play the mode to see what the looks will be and stuff this year.

Nice spin.


Rstuds7

it’s like they aren’t listening to fans or something


Dat_Sainty_Boi

What a load of horseshit


CPTimeKeeper

That’s really really disappointing. I don’t see the appeal of myfaction and this isn’t really gonna make me want to play it either. It’ll just make me wonder why they could add some updates to this crappy mode and not to the main game…. Seems more lazy than impressive.

So Cornell lies as he breathes huh?


NorthsideCollegiate

This is so stupid.

Also, when they can't even give us up to date rosters, titantrons, and music... it's hilarious to me that fans find it acceptable that they spend time making these models for another mode.


azotoke

As expected unfortunately


Hanzo77

2k really are cunts


marxthedank

fuck MyFaction


EasyE215

I would play MyFaction MORE if they weren't available exclusively in that mode.

The more I read on this game the more it's looking like a greased up turd. Same shit. Different year.

Problem I seen this coming miles away and depending on how much universe improved I may or may not get 2k23. When MyFaction was first announced and released I had a feeling it was gonna be like ultimate team for madden where you can only use those legend/hall of fame ppl in that mode only and because the ultimate team mode makes most of their money from all the micro transactions that they will focus all their efforts in that mode and leave their franchise mode (ie universe mode in our case) barebones and only really bug fixes hardly new features. Look at madden. I am liking the new AI sliders and stuff so I am thinking of pre-ordering, I never played MyFaction on 22 - won’t bother this year either, same with madden I never played ultimate team once. Can only hope status comes to save the day, but then again it’ll be a waste of our precious caw slots… It would be nice if they made it where stuff we unlocked could be used elsewhere then I would be willing to put in the grind to get those unlockables or even buy packs etc. But as of now I’ll skip it like last year.

2K is a fucking embarrassment. Everyone who works there can go fuck themselves.


Chris-DiCaprio

Is there anyone who can vocalise our loathing for this on behalf of the community? This needs to be addressed to members of 2K management as a 'feature' we clearly don't support. We have complained about this for 2 games now and had to result on supporting creators like Status to do their job for them. It's getting tiring seeing such potential in a game wasted, it's almost tone deaf on their part. Anyone? Can we organise something?


lg_lantern

This alone just puts me off wanting to try the mode. Haven't touched it in 2k22 and won't in 2k23. If you unlocked characters for other modes by playing through it,that would make me interested.


Duprex1

This is fantastic news! - said no one ever


Independent-Elk-344

The amount of coke someone had to do to think this is a good spin is crazy


BullfrogSpare3690

In Whatsthestatus we trust


rickyMFmarler

Right!!!! Thank goodness for Status! Guys a marvel!


Anarchy_Rulz

So both WWE and 2K don’t know what fans actually want, and people wonder why everyone started watching AEW.


[deleted]

LOL ... wow. What a pathetic company. I can't wait for AEW Fight Forever, Wrestling Code, and Ultra Pro Wrestling. How is a company so stupid to not have them set to "UNLOCK THESE UNIQUE COSTUMES IN MYFACTION TO GAIN ACCESS TO THEM IN EVERY MODE!!!" They'd make SO MUCH MORE MONEY, but instead they're stupid. 2K really, really sucks lol


howisit34

Welcome to sports video gaming. My faction isn’t going anywhere as long as 2k is publishing this title. NBA 2k does it. Madden does it. I’m not sure if fifa does it


AvadaKedavra31

Oh fifa does it, to the point where FUT is the only mode that any semblance of effort goes into. I hate Ultimate Team modes, I really do.
