Lawyer Pushing for Class Action Lawsuit Against 2K for TopSpin 2K25 “Not Functioning as Advertised”

If you’re having issues playing TopSpin 2K25 since you can’t even connect to the game’s servers or having issues being disconnected, you’re not alone. Unfortunately, 2K and Hangar 13 made the odd move of requiring players be online in order to play even the single-player portions of the game (like Career Mode). Well, a certain lawyer is fed up with all of this and is pushing for a class action lawsuit.

Attorney Floris Vulto who is a barred lawyer at Helder Advocatuur in The Hague, Netherlands, is organizing a class action lawsuit on the grounds of TopSpin 2K25 “does not function as advertised” and noting how the single-player mode fails to work offline. In addition to that, Vulto also highlights how the TopSpin 2K25’s servers are scheduled to shut down at the end of 2026 (as mentioned in the game’s product page), which is something that wasn’t clearly communicated to players at the time of purchase.

Vulto’s goal in the lawsuit is to obtain a reimbursement of all affected players and also potentially securing other forms of compensation. Vulto adds that they want to hold the developers accountable for misleading advertising.

For now, 2K hasn’t said anything on whether they have plans to make Career Mode available offline. Aside from players not being able to access the game due to server issues, it has even translated to other players losing progress.

MP1st Take:

There is no reason for TopSpin 2K25 to not be operation offline. If it was multiplayer, sure. But Career Mode? Yeah, that should work offline. The only reason why it’s not is because of microtransactions. I mean, 2K can’t really sell you cosmetics, boosters and whatnot if you’re offline, right? This is something the publisher has been chastised for multiple times when it comes to WWE 2K, NBA 2K and now, TopSpin 2K25.

It’s sad to see this happen to the game and the developers. I mean, behind all this is a solid tennis game, which is what we noted in our review.
