It really is bro. I got my nephews coming over this weekend after I told them I had it, they already asking if they can stay the weekend. I gotta practice the next few days so they don't wash me when they get here
I just won my first Hell in a Cell match with stone cold and I had the sound jacked up, when I hit the stunner and the crowd went crazy that shxt was wild...People who play these yearly probably could pick this apart, but from someone who never plays wrestling games like this im having a great time with this one

It sounds like EA will be getting the WWE license soon.

IGN continues to show how unreliable there reviews are.

I expect that it's going to end up as some sort of Yukes/AKI hybrid since Yukes is working on it and Geta is doing some sort of advisory. The only better thing they could do is hire a bunch of Spike employees to work on it too, getting the best of all three worlds.

So here is a story: I purchased the deluxe edition on PS5 at GameStop (actual retail store) and due to shipping at their store it got delayed and I never got it 3 days early, Just got it today. They compensated me 20$ due to not getting the game when I was suppose to, so I was fine with that. Then I get home and open the game to install, well come to find out they sold me the standard edition, and there is not a season pass on the receipt or in the game box itself. So not only did they screw up the shipping, they also screwed up and gave me the wrong edition of the game I paid for. So I am stuck with an open standard edition, no season pass, and now having to go up there for a third time (with gas being as high as it is) in order to see how they can rectify this.....

Perhaps I was wrong and judged the development team to soon. Got home today and downloaded the newest 1.05 patch on PS4. Was able to finally play the game without constant crashes for six straight uninterrupted hours... The gameplay has clicked and if the devs can get all the kinks out, this game might be the best in the series in some time.
I hope Share-play on PS4 gets fixed because playing myGM with a friend over the net would be a lot of fun.
Actually looking forward to playing more.

Heard it's based of the PS4/Xb1 version. Haven't tried it myself.
I let my son go in to Community Creations tonight and first thing he did was make a fatal 4 way with Sonic, Shrek, Batman and Donald Trump.
I don't get zoomer humor.
He said "Dad it doesn't always have to be real."
i would have provably done the same when I was a kid

I played the PC port on my friend's PC yesterday and I must say, I'm mighty impressed. 4K, 60fps, graphics maxed out. It ran like a charm.
My only complaint is during intros and cutscenes where you do your special move or something in that nature, the frame rate drops down to 30fps. Like how MKX on pc drops to a locked 30 frames during intros, outros, x-rays and fatalities. I didn't see an option to change it to 60 frames, I hope they fix that or someone mods it.
We were having some issues with online services such as browsing custom skins and uploading skins, but I think thats a known issue with all versions of the game.
Had a lot of fun playing last night and considering picking it up myself.
** So I looked up how to unlock the cinematic scenes from 30 to 60 fps and you can change it in the config file. Gonna pass that info on to my friend.

Tell us you haven't played WWE2K22 without telling us you haven't played WWE2K22.
You're right, I haven't played it yet. My statement was based off of the past decade or more of WWE games. I'll reserve my judgment for this one once I play it since from what I've read is that they've improved it.

It’s really hard to beat the AKI games, but WWE2K22 so far seems more arcadey, less simulation-style and fast paced than the previous entries. I haven’t gotten the chance to play a lot of it yet, but so far I think it’s fun.

The ring looks small to me.
It looks like I started shit talking too soon then. Glad to see they've gone into a better direction with this one.

Unfortunately, a good sim isn't going to happen. Major promotions still want the innermost details of how matches are worked to remain an open secret.
All that stuff like the referee relaying the script to the wrestlers.

Easily the biggest surprise of 2022 so far.

Sorry forgot to update: they switched out the copy of my game for the deluxe edition no questions asked, even though it was open. Been playing and love it, really like the new gameplay and see myself playing my faction quite a bit. Happy they put out a good product finally since 2k19.

AKi was simulation....
I prefer simulation than arcade since realism makes more sense for a wrestling game.

I bought it on the PSN store spring sale. Such a fun game with friends. Did an 8 man battle royale and I took out the guy who was using Brock then was closelined over the top rope to lose. Me and my mate just burst out laughing it was so funny how it happened.

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
I might actually buy this.
Wait do the women actually look like women this time though.

I really like this game. Last two 2K games I really enjoyed were 2K19 and 2K14. In my opinion, no WWE game was as ambitious as 2K14. The 30 Years of Wrestlemania Mode was awesome. I still think Virtual Pro Wrestling 2 (Japan's version of Wrestlemania 2000/No Mercy) is the best wrestling game ever though.

When is this coming to PS+ or Game Pass lol. Really want to try it, but not at $30+.

Just got this game and played for a couple hours tonight. Seems pretty fun... but since it's been like 15+ years since I last watched wrestling it was difficult getting into it, since I don't know anybody from the roster other than legacy wrestlers.
I'd advise against buying it if you haven't watched wrestling in a long time. Having no "investment" in any of the current wrestlers made me not care about any of the entrances, move sets, etc. Even when I picked legacy wrestlers like Hulk Hogan, The Rock, Stone Cold, etc., it just felt weird pitting them against wrestlers I couldn't give two shits about since I have no clue who they are.
I'm sure there's DLC or whatever that has a lot of legacy characters, I just don't feel like paying any more than I did to get that since it probably costs way more than I want to pay for it.
Probably just going to go buy a copy of Shut Your Mouth and Here Comes the Pain, and use those two games to get my wrestling fix if ever need be.
