As a sports gamer, I am one of those dying breeds that only care for singleplayer MY GM / manager type of game. Yes, I do hate microtransactions, but I dont touch those modes, so whatever. This game actually looks great, I dont play cause I am not into WWE, but that myGM mode sounds great. People crap on sports games, but 2K actually try on these modes. NBA 2K has amazing my league and my GM modes, amazing, its the gameplay that lacks.Yes, they have that casino mode, and Ultimate team mode, but their other modes are decent too, its not like dont try at all anymore. I also play EA's FIFA, and compared to 2k, EAs manager modes are complete GARBAGE. EA doesnt care, I play cause its only alternative, but it does lack massively in crucial areas. I know everyone craps on us sports gamers for buying these games, but know this, I dont buy those games full price, I do not buy yearly, and I dont play Ultimate garbage. People like me still exist, I am a nerd, I like sports cause it has stats and shit, not all of us are a blight on gaming, at least I dont consider myself one. This one sounds cool if you are a wrestling fan, that myGM mode is something I would be all over for sure.

I wish showcase would also have dream matches and alike, just to give something new every once in a while. And as much as I like it, there should be a Hall of Fame mode, just so we could get access to more different superstars of the past. WWE 2k seems to be going on a good direction now, and I think they should just have fun with it, give more space for creativity and dynamism in the matches (which previous titles had it all way too tightly connected, so it seemed limited). So combo grabs, interactive or chain throws, and more speed and weight would be all great. But, WWE 2k22 seems like a very good game to me

If you like arcade games play battle grounds but don’t mess us the series by adding stuff that will turn the core audience off to the game.

I grabbed this on a bit of a whim, looked through a bunch of user reviews on metacritic etc. And I gotta say, I’m having a ton of fun with it. Spent about 5 hours just making my character. Wish you could do custom pyro like in older iterations. It looks great, plays pretty solid. Reversals could use work.. but it’s a ton of fun.

Lol literally getting this game after putting in over 200 hours into Elden ring 😂 I need something different

I remember when SvR 2010 community creations you could zoom in and see the creation a bit better, also when performing a finisher it would do a slow motion black and white effect before the impact. Nevertheless 2K have knocked it outta the park with 2K22.

I’ve been playing WWE 2K22 (PS4) for the past couple of days and here are some of my impressions: *Rey Mysterio Showcase - A legendary superstar and career featuring some great matches! I agree the transitions between footage and gameplay is brilliantly done! Easily one of my favorite parts. I found some of the objectives a bit difficult to pull off (I have to check the menu to see how to pull off some of the moves which does indeed break the momentum). I felt some of the matches went a bit too long and some of them were tough in my opinion! Definitely a one and done mode for me though. *MyFaction - I played a little bit and while I like the card collecting aspect I found myself not really invested in this mode. I feel it’s overwhelming with the proving ground, towers, the variety of currency, and it just feels like work instead of play. Also underwhelming in the fact that I don’t think I can earn VC for anything I do while in the mode and maybe it’s just me but I don’t feel like I’m accomplishing anything overall. I want to say it’s pointless but I haven’t spent enough time in the mode to say that for sure. *MyGM - I like this mode and have been wanting it to return for a long time now as many of us have. It’s not perfect as missing match types and championships really hurt it. I do love the interface and menus - very neat! I wish I had a bit more control like more options and allowing sliders (how much money to start off with, turn wrestler stamina on/off, etc) I found the difficulty a bit harsh even on easy mode though I think I just need more practice. I found that by doing essential things like picking a great variety of superstars during the draft is important to establishing a rhythm, then superstar rivalries heat up, picking exciting match types that some of your superstars thrive in, listening to fan comments, and utilizing each superstar properly then everything become less daunting. I wish the fan comments were in larger print (or maybe my eyesight is going bad) I’ve noticed that in other parts of the game as well but maybe it’s just me. *MyRise - I just started this mode and so far I’m liking the fact there is the possibility for branching storylines and face/heel choices which is what I wanted in career mode. Could use some improvements. Nice create a character, intro, and moveset options. I can see myself playing through this mode multiple times. (Update: no I cannot actually! Just finished the mode and the the social media aspect is kinda cool but a mess as well as triggers to unlock certain matches are vague. Does have some good moments but overall it feels like a bit of a slog and kinda repetitive. *Universe Mode - I haven’t tried it yet because I want to unlock everything and finish MyRise first. Update: Going through Universe Mode (Superstar) able to pick and focus on one superstar (I chose The Undertaker) and matches not involving your superstar are automatically simulated until you get to your next match/this applies to PPV matches as well. *Issues/Problems A couple of collision detection (swing and a miss) issues and a few minor bugs here and there + one crash so far Money in the Bank matches are an absolute NIGHTMARE! Seriously I hate them! Ladders fall at the slightest touch and it feels unbalanced as recovery times are short making it almost impossible to get the briefcase (I’ve won the match twice and each time it took me 20-30 minutes to complete each time!) it’s chaotic and not fun. Overall I’m enjoying my time with WWE 2K22! graphically it’s the best looking entry in the series and the gameplay is a lot more fun (though I can do without the combos and blocking) and I am missing a couple of favorite superstars: “Mr. Perfect” Curt Hennig “Ravishing” Rick Rude Kurt Angle Bray Wyatt Lita Paige The Bella Twins Kairi Sane I feel this is a must play for fellow WWE fans and I look forward to the next one!

The Microtransactions are pointless, MyFaction is an offline game mode. MyRise is probably the best game mode, trying to be similar to the career modes in the old smackdown games has really helped that out. MyGm mode can be fun, but it lacks depth, not the gm mode people wanted but a solid start for future installments. Showcase is as great as it usually is, it feels a bit shorter than I was hoping, but it's still great. Universe barely changed, not much to say about it. The roster is weird, having some former wwe superstars and missing some current ones. Community creations is great, as always. Gameplay is a step above the previous games and actually fun. This game is great for wrestling fans and a ton of fun.

You didn't mention the controls that changed they shouldn't have changed them at all

I admit, I was very negative about the game before release but it might actually be the best since 2K took over. At least for singles matches. I simmed a few multi and tag matches and most of them are still incredibly glitchy but I rarely noticed that while playing, which really speaks for the gameplay. Still hope they manage to clean up that stuff. It also looks gorgeous. Way better than 2K's pre released footage suggested, at least on the PS5. Only issue I had where some fps drops in some situations. EDIT: Guys, while I don't endorse the micro transactions, this has nothing to do with the unlockables (except the unlock all most everything thingy). Different currency. The MT currency can only be used in Myfaction.

Microtransactions will be in every game cause of these lazy ass streamers buying every Microtransactions in the games they play. It's fucking pathetic

I remember playing No Mercy religiously. This game plays so much differently than that. It’s more arcade like than wrestling. At the same time I did play Smackdown a lot, and this is like a more modern version of it.

The last WWE game I played, was the 2009 Version on PS3. After that, it became more and more weird for me. I tried the 2017 Version, but only played it 1 hour at max, didn't catch me at all. Now I gave this one a chance, and dispite some issues, I LOVE IT. they brought back the original Feeling, to some degree.

The currency in MyFaction is exclusive to that mode. The ingame store with Legends/Arena/Titles use a ingame only currency from playing the game (or by the Supercharger DLC)

I thought 2k19 was a masterpiece! Between the simulation, feel to where you can reenact any of your fav matches. The roster! The roster was amazing. The community creations were amazing. The graphics and movements were spot on. They still are good. I honestly can play 22 as a completely different game and still love it and then go back to 19 for the roster. I'm pleased

Same thought I had, 2k19 was the best for me, they had one of the very best rosters, both old and new and the CC was amazing.

I actually love this game. Is my first back into WWE since WCW vs NWO on my 64. This feels good I’m glad you can level up to buy characters. Rather than spending money, hope they bring more old skool characters back e.g Hacksaw, Mankind, Sting and DDP.. more showcase would be awesome even if I had to pay for them. 😊

Can we talk about how awesome showcase mode is?! The videos, music, story...wow! I hope all future showcase modes are like this!!

A little bit less potential than 2k14 but waaayy better than the games they released for 6 years straight.

Cmon jake, those superstars in the "store" can be unlocked with points you get from just playing the game. Not exclusively money

Yes, this video has slightly misleading information. For them to say they review these games for years and not to know about how the unlockables work unfortunately hurts credibility. People will listen to this and pass because of the microtransactions when they are truly a small portion of the game. The devs don't even push it in your face like madden.

I value you guys and IGN's reviews before buying any game been waiting for this 🔥🔥

Definitely can't wait to play this its been a while since i played a wrestling game last one i played was wwe 2k14 and 2k12and i remember the glory wrestling games like smack down vs raw 2010 and 2008 and 2007 good times great memories

I miss THQ game style from N64...

The last wrestling game I played was the N64 WWF War Zone. It killed me on playing any more wrestling games out there. The hit boxes sucked, I'd get confused on attack controls which just left me button mashing HOPING I'd do some damage, and placement in general. The final nail in the coffin was the audience. Every other audience person was doing the same gesture, clap, cheer, jump, etc...at the same time! So, its at the point now that whenever they would advertise a "NEW" WWE 2K 02, 03 and so on, the first thing id see is the audience and how many are doing the same gestures and stuff I could see clumped together in the same frame.

Aww man that sucks. No Mercy and Wrestlemania 2000 were really good on N64, and the Smackdown/Smackdown vs Raw series had some ups and downs. But War Zone was pretty bad

Nailed it Jake, N64 wrestling games was where it peaked. Id be there in a heart beat if they brought back the gameplay from the older games but mixed it with todays visuals!

Do you have to buy all the retro players? Does the roster include old school wrestlers and can you include the to my gm mode??

This game is fun the only really frustration is how fast AI gets back on it's feet even after you do a finisher. Which is not a huge issue in a one on one match, but become a slog in matches with multiple Wrestlers. This makes the money in the bank match almost un playable.

Do you still have the ability in My Rise to wrestle other peoples My Rise wrestlers like in previous versions? That was my favorite part. Leveling my wrestler by wrestling others on line.

My favorite was 2K10. On the Wii. My friend and I played the hell out of that on our days off. We’d both try to bloody the other as much as possible, and the bloodying mechanic in that was pretty fun.

Been playing these games on and off since I was a kid. Feels like 2K finally found out how to make their version of the game because they’ve been hit or (and mostly) miss for me. MyRise is fun so far especially if you just commit to being a career bad guy. I wish MyGM was deeper like the older SvR games but it does have some nice features added in. I’d give it a solid 7-8/10 compared to the other 2k titles. Good improvements in the right areas. Shows potential for moving forward if they commit to improving the new systems. Just ditch MyFaction. It literally serves no purpose but to collect micro transactions.

I might get this game because of the GM mode thanks for the review that definitely made me interested. I've been really into wrestling lately mainly AEW and GCW not doing the career sounds lame. Definitely waiting for a price drop . Still stuck on Elden Ring this can wait but it does look pretty legit Minus the Micro transactions that's so whack I don't want to pay more than $60. Now an AEW game I'm getting it day 1 because Kenny Omega like video games so that help with comfortability with the producers of the games since it's with Yukes.

@Gamertime2782

I've already put a decent amount of time into the game and if you are just getting it just for GM mode I would wait till it goes down in price. As I feel like the mode is just a little to limited and repetitive right now not anything like svr 06 07 or 08. But if you are also really interested in the gameplay go for it.

SmackDown! Here Comes the Pain is the one of the greatest of all time. SVR 2007 created a lot of core memories for me. 2K20 legit made me quit within 10 minutes of playing. It was horrendous - the controls, the easiness, the glitches - it was the worst. I'm really happy to hear that 2K22 is a step-up from 2K20.

It’s been so many years since I’ve played a WWE game. Smackdown Here Comes The Pain was and is my fav WWE game of all time but damn seeing these graphics and animations and fighting styles looks really awesome. I may have to check this one out lol

In the words of the rock “Finally” the review is here!

For me wwe games have always been about playing with your buddies with some drinks and food and either tagging up as partners and bashing other people up or going 2 against 30 in a royal rumble match and things like that. I don't care much about game modes as long as there is a vast list of wrestlers i can play with and types of matches i can play - eliminiation chamber, steel cage etc. Can some one help me with that kinda info? Is the roster good and variety of matches types good? Like i wud love to have war games match maybe.. does it have that? Also, raw vs smackdown 2 introduced a section where players can get a manager/partner character with them outside the ring. It was so fun cz these partners often acted out as helpers to cheat, oftsn get into brawl themseleves and it was pretty cool? Does this game has that?

Last wwe game I’ve played is wwe 13 so it’s been almost a decade but I’m in the process of downloading it as I type this. I never thought I’d play a wwe game again as I don’t really watch the product much (watch aew) but I was always a huge rtwm guy and loved the old smd vs Raw’s and all of the storylines. I’m hoping I’m not disappointed as I was years ago!

WWF No Mercy on 64 still my most favorite game of all time. The original Smackdown titles are a very close second.

Best game they made since WWE 2K14. Also was surprised they brought back rock music after a long absence.

It's an amazing graphically stunning game I don't like how u gotta buy the legends because that's why I come to the game for the legends the good wrestlers not the shitty generic ones of today. And the showcase is a bit challenging to unlock stuff in. But other then that great fun game the showcase story is so good I love it.

haven’t played or watched anything wrestling in a longggg time but this brought me back to some good times it had a very similar feel i was used to when i was a kid playing smackdown vs raw and my rise has made me laugh out loud a couple times with their ridiculous story telling overall great game solid mechanics and fun movesets

Also in my rise I started the male myRise and completed all the stories in the performance center and NXT but can't seem for find the last story to complete on raw and smackdown

I really wish they'd release a GM mode seperately, I just like the idea of booking a show, but me personally i'm waiting for the AEW game, if they're focusing on being more like No Mercy, thats what I want.

Can you earn cards in My Faction mode, or do you have to buy them only?

The only gripe about this game is the lack of CAW customizations. The reason I loved 2k19 so much is that it gave me so much room for creativity. I got even disappointed about the create an entrance because it was too dumbed down.

the positioning clips got some good chuckles out of me.

First off I wanted to say Smackdown Here Comes The Pain was in MY opinion one of the Best Wresting game I've ever played in major part of THQ 👏. Now to WWE2k22, I was truly debating on getting this on my Series X as a matter or fact I originally Pre-ordered it but then I canceled... Got Cold feet and wanted to see reviews and gameplay first. Seeing this Review and Others has got me thanking a lot now as I would LOVE to jump into that Rey Mysterio Showcase. Growing up as a kid he was one of my Favorite wrestlers in WCW, I'll never forget when he made his Debut on Smackdown... Gave me chills

Its very important to note that the store is separate from MyFaction, the superstars and stuff that are unlockable can't be bought with real world money. The only mode VC is used which is the paid currency is MyFaction for card packs. MyFaction is also single player only so there is no pay to win, The game really doesn't offer any incentive to buy VC at all. Overall though as a big gamer and WWE fan, I am having so much fun with WWE 2K22 which is the best WWE game I have played in a long time. Again like you said, that doesn't really take much (WWE 2K20 was awful, I had more fun with WCW Backstage Assault lol) but its a promising step in the right direction for the franchise

this would actually be my first time coming back since ps2 😳 so thanks to ur video i might just come back bc i mainly play career mode and other silly stuff

It looks like they nailed the Thunderdome. So glad 2K used actual video clips instead of putting the in-game audience member faces on the screens. I'm also a fan of the filter they use for older matches. In past games they relied too much on film grain and other cheap effects. 2K22 makes it actually look like an old Nitro episode. I can go on about the graphics. But, I'm most glad to hear that the gameplay is faster and fluid. Wish GM mode was better. But, there's still next year. ...If WWE doesn't go with EA🤞
