TopSpin 2k25 Players Frustrated by Server Issues

TopSpin 2K25 fans are lashing out at 2K following widespread server issues that have impacted the game's single-player mode.

What makes these issues even more concerning is that TopSpin 2K25's servers are only guaranteed to last a few years, something that is also
