FAQ On Being Banned

[BigChrisSpirito]

Here’s the deal as it relates to the bans that are happening throughout the WWE2K14 community directly from 2K Support at 1-866-922-8693.

There are 3 main ways one can get banned from WWE2K14:

1. Posting or using a hacked moveset. Even if you unknowingly downloaded a hacked moveset you will be banned. Let’s say for example SMK gave me a caw with a hacked moveset and then I upload it to CC. First off I will be banned and then every user who downloaded or reuploaded that caw will be banned. Knowingly or unknowingly it doesn’t matter… you will be banned

2. You post or download anything with a Nazi logo or with hate speech example being the N word on a t-shirt

3. Rank boosting. I had to ask the representative what that even means… Let’s say you have two Xbox live accounts and you log into both accounts just so you can win on one and lose on the other over and over and over again.

Finally the 4th and not so common way to be banned. UPLOADING ANYTHING TO CC THAT IS A TEXTURE MADE WITH AN OUTSIDE PROGRAM AND THIS INCLUDES RENDERS!

I had a lengthy conversation with the representative (at least 45 mins) I asked him to explain why adding a render would be bad as I can wrap my head around hacked movesets and how that will be bad as it will lead to cheating and ruining the online experience for others but a render only adds a level of realism to a caw and doesn’t affect gameplay. The way it was explained to me is even by just adding a render you are hacking the game and putting untested code into the severs that they have no idea how it will effect game play. Basically he compared it to a virus.

Bans happen typically on Saturdays and 99.9% of the time are not for lifetime they are for two weeks and then you can get back online. ‘Usually’ only repeat offenders get the lifetime ban.

I asked the representative if somebody can just make up a erroneous false claim and get somebody banned and I got a flat out NO as a response to that question. You need to post a picture proving that somebody is cheating or doing something bad online in order for them to get banned.

Why do I know all of this….???

I got banned Feb 15th for two weeks.

I have 8 Xbox live accounts on my Xbox as all my friends who come over and play Call of Duty leave their username ID and password live on my xbox at all times so even if my ban was for months I can still get online. Not to mention I have a 2nd personal account so I have nothing to worry about but for those that don’t have the ban ‘backup’ plan like I do fear not the ban is probably only for 2 weeks. My friends all do not play WWE2K14 so if they were to get banned they could care less. Future postings will come from those accounts and you will be alerted by twitter as to which user account to search on CC once things have been posted.

I hope this has helped answer all of the questions everybody is having.

Thank you Chris for the explanation and the heads up. Everyone use caution when downloading from CC, as most posts I've read are from people who simply downloaded something and got banned without knowing why or even realizing they had DL'd "prohibited" stuff.

[HarlotEffect]

So basically they're trying to stop paint tool hacks, thus making people want to stop making CAWs for CC. Good one 2K, we did modded weapons on Borderlands you patched it a few times then you gave up in the end.

[Beardy]

This is just stupid.

[T Agent Crane HK]

Question? An outside program you mean using any extra lengths outside of KG's tool? And what about those that used textures that someone else uploaded on their own personal creation and uploaded it to CC? Does it effect them as well? You might of answered this in the post and I did read it, but i'm just so overwhelmed and confused at this moment about the current situation and i'm sorry if I am.  

 

Edit: Never mind, thanks Chris for sharing this information.

Chris ive been banned like 6 times today, I think there's something wrong with this. i'll be in a match then I get kicked off saying im banned , so I go to the main menu then go back to online then im unbanned for like one match then banned again and it's f up because I just got my internet turned back on last night .

[BigChrisSpirito]

Listen guys I'm not 2K I passed along verbatim everything that was said to me during my conversation with them. They actually knew who I was and we had a lengthy discussion about BrienJ, Petchy, KG and THQ as they wanted to know how I did what I did. I talked about how it all started with Petchy posting Bret Hart in WWE12 and went through everything including the process by which things get made and uploaded. They said at least three times during the conversation they take this stuff much more serious than THQ did. Sorry I can't answer more questions guys but I'm not the one to speak to if you get banned as I shared everything I know. Just know if your banned you can play a different game and come back to WWE2K14 probably in 2 weeks.

LOL no I didn't mention you

With tools that allow CAW/Arena injection, you don't have to use CC. Just share the files. Problem solved.

Dont you have to upload them first through a second account that isnt your main profile?

[Thedeadmanrising]

To be clear if we Upload and download anything with textures or texture related we get banned?

I honestly believe 2K dont want to make any sales from 2K15 this year.

[mrblacksheep]

At this rate they should just get rid of the creation suite.

You don't have to upload a thing. Get the textures on your unlocked save/profile, make the caw/arena. Share the CAS/CAA file.

Isn't That Stupid?

Swear I Wanna Give 2K A Piece Of My Mind! We Want Face Textures.. If You Don't Want Us To Have Them Update Your Fucking Creation Suite!

The CC wasn't even for that, sharing stuff made INGAME.

 

I don't get the fuss. Just use the tools available. Problem solved.

[Thedeadmanrising]

They must be doing this out of jealousy since our caws with textures put their in game models to shame!

Fixed.

[Fozy]

The fact remains, it's against terms and conditions. Having things like this online, and being able to share it through the CC makes this dangerous. Injecting faces and all that, I am absolutely sure they don't mind. However, if someone manages to inject some sort of virus which kills the person's who downloads the creation console, then you have trouble.

What Is It Used For Then? Its Hardly Used For Shitting!  And I Mean People Who Use Stuff On A Caw And Get Banned Because Of A Texture? Hell To The Nawh!

 

[StatutoryApe87]

Thanks for the clarification on how people can get banned. I read the first post regarding this this morning and got nervous and checked my game/XBL and I'm still able to go online for the time being.

Because again, its exploiting the game. Thats it. Its for sharing stuff made in-game only.

 

Theres loads of stuff on

that's exactly what i said they better update CAS or expect the sells to decline in 2K15...  It looks like back to the cawing board! I wanted to make some top-notch textured caws but since they pulled this shit, I just be taking a break for awhile.  They better update CAS drastically so we wouldn't need face textures, because if it's the same old shit we have now i'm going back to playing my PS2 wwe games

You would think with all the modding people are doing it would give them a clue as to what features they should add to the series.
