Either they release The Island mode or compensate for making people pay the same price for lesser content by way of giving away those locked CAW parts as part of some other game mode progression like MyRise.

There is one thing NOBODY is talking about!! 2K is aiming for the same push they did to NBA2K. Where you buy the game right? But if you want to start a career mode? It has to be done ONLINE! Seriously, play NBA2K23 career mode and see what happens. 2K is aiming for the exact same garbage. They intend to eliminate Universe Mode & Community Creations. Unless it deals with Online Gaming. That means if you are one of those Millions Upon MILLIONS of gamers that play offline? Your options will pretty much be Play Mode and that is it. Same garbage they did to NBA2K. Why isn't anyone talking about that???

Great point, but if WWE goes in thar direction I'll stop playing. I might go back to MUGEN.

I think those games are so vastly different, that they would never do anything like that.

Last year of community creations ??

word going around that this will be the last year of community creations as they are wanting to phase it out for a monetized version (the island) Will people continue to buy they game if this happens ?

[Zeokage]

People are just being hyperbolic and speculating because of the split this year. There is nothing credible from 2K, VC or WWE that Community Creations will be ending anytime soon.

I beg to differ, There has been a huge step back in how the community creation works. We had a lot more at our disposal in the past. Create moves, create an entrance. Importing your own music Body morphing and face morphing. The fact that its direct competition to dlc and micro transactions to unlock alt attires. Not to mention devs comments over the years as well as the conversation 2 years about 2k looking to move away from community creations and to try something else.

Everything you've mentioned there is about the Creation Suite, none of those are specific to community creations. I don't know what part of Create an Entrance and face morphing has gone "backwards", but finisher creation is from over 10 years ago which I think might be before mocap took over as the primary method for putting moves in the game. Importing your own music is a licensing nightmare which might be why console manufacturers have made it impossible since 8th gen. Body morphing, if I remember correctly, was to reduce clipping and other issues. I don't see how DLC is direct competition either. If you don't have the DLC, you can't download the creation.

Do you have an official link to them talking about this such as a developer interview? I don't remember this at all.

Think island sounds like MyPlayer, seems like they just doing what previously did in 2K19 2K20.

Them removing community creations wouldn't be good idea, unless they doing it on a open source repo, and instead of sluggish slow finding everything, you just goto a open repo and utilize the smooth and fast find feature. Easily cross gen, due to just drag and drop whoever in some JSON format or whatever of you want into a the specific 2K folder. Then if you want it multiplayer you gotta submit to 2K and they do their virus scan and what not, and approve it, hash and then.
Then 2K just checks the hash to ensure its safe a file and safe for multiplayer and other clients have to load your custom creation to play with your custom creation multiplayer.

I'm sure some of custom creators, they'd prefer to just work on a file and keyboard type everything in a json file rather than slowly going through all these menus and sometimes a bug occurs and you gotta restart from scratch.

Gotta give these community creators some credit if they basically repeat the same steps just give everyone the people they already created in the previous versions.

It's like I already made superman back in 2K19, repeat my steps and provide it. 2K20, repeat, 2K22 repeat, 2K23 repeat. One of the things is you don't repeat yourself. This is where having better way of doing custom creations could come into play.

Are there anyone who does CAW commissions

I was looking to see if anyone makes good CAWS/Attires for commission for 2K25. Don't want to set anything in stone yet, just looking for people right now.

They need to let us have more than 100 slots on pc.

As fun as it always is to assume that 2K has our worst interests in mind, I've seen no proof of this being the case.

I can see what you're saying in regards to Community Creations being a direct competition to DLC Wrestlers- meaning that people usually create near-perfect replicas of any wrestlers that aren't in the base game on day 1, which could "dissuade" people from purchasing any packs that release afterward.

Considering the customization aspects of this game are (at least for my friends and myself) the absolute #1 main-attraction of this franchise, I doubt they'd do something as consumer-unfriendly as removing Community Creations for the sake of raking-in a scant few sales on DLC packs.

+500 sales on a $10 DLC pack,
-1000 sales on the $70 game for cutting a major feature.
The math just doesn't add-up.

For me I'm a little concerned. I'd hate to see content locked behind a mode we can't access. I have a feeling that 2K could have thought of that by now, but I'm not that hopeful. I got a bad feeling for creation mode going forward and I really want to be wrong about that.

Lucky for us, The Island will not be available on PC.
I'd wait until next year to stress about this.

90% of those things didn't exist while CC existed. If you mean creating wrestlers as a whole, that's never going away.

First of all "CC" is not a special, unique superty duperty Photoshop suite, it's just a name that was put on "custom stuff" that already existed.
