Am I the only one that has always wanted the ref animations to change? I've always felt that they're too slow, and that they would benefit from being snappier and fluid like they are in real life. For example, to me it really takes away from big moments or spots when the ref always does that really slow animation to get on their hands and knees to count the pin, no matter how dramatic the move(s) that were done before. It would be great If we could get some animations where the ref quickly slides to the floor to count the pin after a big move or finisher, similarly to how it happens in real life.

If you look at the cinematic camera in SvR 2010 during finishers, it was a great addition. The crowd goes silent for a second, a sound effect plays that makes it sound like time is slowed down, then there’s a large sound on impact. It makes the finisher sound so much more important

The cinematic feature would be a great idea to add into WWE2K22 especially for content creators like us

Seeing the camera angles change with moves in the AEW Darby teasers got the wheels spinning, right? Competition is best for the consumer and it's already producing dividends.

Randy Orton's RKO will forever stay dope no matter the change or the camera angle also one thing they should fix is Catching Finishers and the motions to it and add more finishers to it and add catching moves to it like in real life

Oooooft. That HLR work was real clean. Great idea! I'd love it as long as they don't letterbox it or change the colour grading. It'd almost ruin "immersion"

I wish they would have more/better angles with certain moves

They need the hard camera toward the ramp, I know it's not like how it is on TV but it would look really nice, especially in Royal Rumbles

They should have different selling animations

Wow I would've never even thought about this, but it makes such a difference!!! They need to focus on this, the base gameplay, and also crowd realism. All that could really turn around the next game

Some thing really cool I thought of while watching this video was when the opponent hits a finisher on you, you see the opponent hit the move in first person from your perspective.

This actually would be very cool. It would also be cool if for RR matches if you could see every superstar get eliminated by camera cutting to the outside as if in real life, like you could in old SvR games, and seeing their feet touch the ground instead of just the one camera angle the entire match

I would like if it was a combo of both together.

I totally agree. Smackdown Vs Raw 2007 used to do these and it made the presentation look way better minus the replay animation. I will say it was cool to see the cinematic camera angle take place especially from the crowd diving area. First you would see your player climbing in a normal camera angle then you would see him all the way up to the top and once you saw that you got a real good look at far he was from jumping off. Then just as soon as you jumped off the camera would go to cam looking up angle which was really cool to see. God I wish they would bring back cinematic camera angles in these moments once again

Patterns and prints in create a wrestler.

They need to bring back simulated finishers. Like the ones in the SvR series. Examples are the 619, Sweet Chin Music, Spear and moves like that

I think 2K22 should make an improvement on the post match beat down feature, to continue attacking your defenceless opponent after winning however if you stop after attacking, the feature stops but if you continue to attack the referee will reverse the decision.

Babyface VS Heel actions 🤔🤷🤙🤘

similar issue with all the wwe 2k series is the post match replays. like when you put effort in a 5 star long match with creative spots, the game just shows some random roll-ups and pin attempts during the match that are completely irrelevant. I would suggest that the game would just replay like final 3 moves before the pinfall or submission or any other type of match ending which would make a lot more sense as post match replay. the best solution would be an option to select what you want to be shown in the replays (just finisher attempts, pin attempts , submission attempts, foreign object use,...) which I am sure 2k wouldn't bother doing it but only showing the final 3 or 4 moves before the end of the match would be the easiest modification in game codes and a very positive impact in the player's experience.

You know, some of these animations were present in old SvR games)

I would also like to see them add back classic match types like Buried Alive, I Quit, and Inferno. An upgraded backstage area reminiscent of Here Comes the Pain would be awesome too! It would be cool to see them add NXT Matches like War Games and the Fight Pit Match. I'd like to see them add better animations for slamming opponents onto weapons especially the steel steps.

Hopefully this is in the game

I think it's ok to be optimistic for 2K22 because it's their second try and they actually got clearance to skip a year to have extra time (about 6 extra months of development apparently). After 1 game under their belt and extra time they could develop a great entry in the series so we'll have to wait and see.

Another fire idea 🔥🔥🔥 this would help a lot w just gameplay overall n it would hopefully allow for promos or video packages to be made for rivalries

Great idea brother.. I agree!

I think that this idea could work but as mentioned it does have some downsides especially for people that tend to play together like Gore and Perkins. Since you can't see the opponent... well you can't see the opponent. So if you do play locally with people then this wouldn't work as they would have no idea where they are in relation to the player. This would improve the presentation though since it's been a really long time since finishers had something unique to them such as multiple replays, slowing down time or even stopping time for a 360 shot. What I think that they should do is look back at all the old games to see what they could incorporate. Proper ropebreaks for submissions, Sleeper hold minigames, different match start minigames, etc. You can look back to the Playstation 2 days and see features that make games far more realistic and enjoyable than today. You'd think the advancements of technology would make things better.

Yes this is great, I've had this in mind for years. Like u said it may be troublesome in multiplayer matches but it would help in single player so much. The hard camera isn't used as much in reality as it is in the games, also in the games the hard camera is too high. And in reality you'd be surprised how many camera angles are so close that you don't even see the mat in the shot. Also I've noticed when attending live events that the two ringside cameramen are stationed by the two lower ring posts and almost never leave their positions. Grounding two camera views from there as if they were actual cameramen would make a huge difference.

It does add realism tbh

Another great video bru. 2K should def bring you on board

I couldn’t agree more. I’ve least thought there should be more camera views. They should have a setting that allows you to pick how often it happens.

My concern about the pinfall, is a change in camera angle could take a player's focus away from the kick out minigame. But I think overall, applying these cameras and retooling the replay feature could work well together.

Missing 2 important things one is cameraman and other is umpire out of ring when royal rumble is on.

I'd like to see them get rid of the Star Rating and the VC System and actually make additional wrestlers, arenas, attires unlockable via in game modes instead of building up in game money and using that to buy the unlockables. The past few years I've just used the unlock everything option because who has time to play thousands of matches to build up enough VC Points to buy everything especially considering the small amount of VC you receive for 5 star matches.

I would love a cinematic camera angle smacktals it would give matches a more impactful look to them and it would make the unaverse mode more enjoyable because it looks like your playing a match that would be on tv I think this is a great idea because it would see more people playing 2k22 and perhaps people would agree with the tag line for it in it hits different. I am a big fan of your video’s smacktaks keep it up man

Personally you could possibly have all of it run in cinematic camera, the default just moves with the players from an angle that isn’t seen on the real show. It’s very doable, a PS2 can do it so…. I think that and fixing table matches are the two biggest things that need sorting
