I truly hope that 40 years of WrestleMania includes at least 1 match from every Mania. I know contracts are an issue, but that’s what made 2K14 fun, reliving through all those years, so I hope whether they’re good or bad matches, we get at least 1 match from every Mania being represented. If not, then at the very minimum, I hope they include all Manias as playable arenas at the very least. I truly hope this game can be good.🤞🙏

In the next 2k they should work on hair damage for example Rhea’s hair is slicked back in the beginning of the match, but as the match goes on, her hair looks messy.
The thing I really hope they do is add Mike Chioda and Charles Robinson to the game, they were big name Refs and seeing them blurred in the last several showcases seemed like a screw you. Probably won't get the earlier Mania refs which sucks but what looked like from Hogan vs Andre that Ref was blurred out.

They also added Sofi Stadium's signature LED banner below the ceiling which I absolutely love. The only licensed arena we've had across the majority of the 2K games is the Fleet Center which is the arena that has been used as the default regular sized arena for Raw and Smackdown across the games. If it wasn't for MyGM I would have never known that was actually the Fleet Center all this time

this would have ben the perfect year to introuduce longer ramps for biger arenas like wrestlemania instead we get small ramps ,maybe 2k wil do an update and add aditional animationfor longer ramp also the wrestling stances are back ,why wont they let us customize them

Yea I agree it's time to upgrade we going into year 4 and it's about time they leave the old gen behind. Hopefully next year it won't be on PS4/XONE. I say 2-3 years is good but beyond that is pushing it. Then we not gonna get games looking their absolute best til near the end or the end of its life cycle.
We better get off that white flash or red flash when hitting a move. Also we must get promos in the game. Also we need to get off that lockup animation. Super important. The 3 things this game needs thankfully now that the camera customization live is here. Huge W.
I feel now like they didnt add anything new to 2k23 so they could focus on 2k24. I mean its like the most amount of new features in one game in wwe2k history so far. And 40 yrs of mania looks to be much bigger showcase than what we usually get too

I do hope more then anything it feels good. I found the latest game to slow like the matches in universe mode can go on sometimes longer then actual matches. I also hope they bring back some type of chain wrestling in the game just to add another element gameplay wise. Other then that it looks promising and its looking like a big step in the right direction. Goodjob 2K.
If you buy the standard edition, will the Wrestlemania attires coming with the road to mania edition be added as a DLC later in the game?
While the actual referee for wwe2k24 is very new to me, i've many plays wwe games in all playstation previous gen, i didn't see a actual referee on smackdown vs raw games era, well i think this is first time to see actual referee on wwe2k24 games, which include showcase matches and ambulance matches
Looks so good happy to watch you he did you know on it
Wasn’t expecting to get this game but damn it they got me with the pre-order bonuses
I wish 2k brings back the Alternate History mode from Legends of Wrestlemania where you can play as Wrestlemania opponents who lost irl to see a different aftermath of that match
Do you think hogan will have a different entrance shirt for wm3? He wore the hulk rules later. Also, do you think they’ll skimp out on a bunch of attires like in 2k14? The attires help make the moment, I don’t know, but I hope all of them are accurate

I'm not gonna lie when I saw the cover of cody bianca and rhea On three separate editions packs I thought was fire and basically when they said they have numerous new match types. Especially the casket match and the ambulance match i'm thinking it's about time I've always won those 2 matches in the game and as popular as the special guest referee. I'm glad it's back too. And then you have the gauntlet match that's gonna be fun 2K has definitely outdid themselves this year, especially with the 40 years of WrestleMania. But as we all know, there's some iconic matches. That won't appear because certain people are not with the company anymore That's gonna be a let down thing to be fair. But at the same time there will be some matches. Wouldn't get a chance to play a decade ago than we can today at least. New superstars, new legends the expectations are endless and i'm just so looking forward to it The definite looking forward to seeing new entrances. New move sets updated moves and so much more. I can't wait especially with the micro. It was a my career mode. The men's being undisputed and the women's being unleashed. That sounds fire. Also I cannot wait to see bits and pieces of gameplay and everything else. It's gonna be amazing year it's gonna be for WWE 2K24
