If you were hoping to play as the "Big Poppa Pump" version of Scott Steiner in WWE 2K24, then think again. That's because after launching the "Persona" card on September 12, the team over at 2K pulled the wrestler shortly after, due to numerous bugs.
It is the latest development in what has been a rather tumultuous period for 2K's "MyFaction" mode, a spin on the traditional "MyTeam" mode that other sports video games have adopted over the past decade, though 2K added an interesting wrinkle beginning with 2K24.
For the uninitiated, certain cards that had been previously "exclusive" to MyFaction, dubbed "Persona" cards, or cards based on a wrestler's previous character, are now transferable to the game's other core modes, except there's one issue.
Many of these cards have required players to jump through various hoops to unlock them, including, but not limited to, purchasing a real-life action figure, grinding for hours in the mode or opening packs. Of course, a marketplace does exist, which has only added to the issues.
