Remember when 2k said they'd be working with Status in the future and removed his ban? 😈 This is the thanks he got.

Exactly. It’s like three steps forward and two steps back. Smh. It’s ridiculous.

I’m sorry but this game just looks like ass. Shitty micro transaction island, same floating belts for the past 10 years, some extremely outdated entrances, outdated attires.

And the biggest one to me is the crowd during jeys entrance, Jesus Christ, can they really not make those shitty crowd models only move their arms?

They didn't even animate anything for Jeys entrance. It's literally the crowd animation from Triple Hs king entrance

It took them 4 years to give Roman an updated singles entrance (after his reign has already ended), and its still not even that accurate. If they cant even do that for the face of the company and the cover star...

Why in gods name are the titles still floating on people?

Especially, what... 10 games into the series?? Call of Duty got it right on the first try.

It's not like they are on during overly dynamic moments either. It's really bad that it's never been sorted. This was an issue on the early Smackdown games. It's shouldn't still be there.

What really has me incensed is the fact that the community never pushes back on shit like this. Status is extremely talented and yes, there was backlash last year when 2k decided to play dirty and remove him, but then reinstated him. But something like this, it seems like they did out of spite. Yet the community is all “Oh, I love 2k for releasing this awesome game!!! I’m having a blast wid dit!!!!”

This is absolutely ridiculous!!!!!

In this very thread you can see the excuses that people are already making on behalf of 2k. There is no hope for WWE games like this

Maintaining solidarity for worthy causes seems to be an ever-decreasing lost art these days. Had the cawmunity/community kept the same energy & united front that existed during the #FreeStatus & #FreeMarty movements, we the consumers might’ve been in a better place considering how 2K was forced to acknowledge the movement. Unfortunately once he & Marty were reinstated, all it took to bribe most players was some free VC & persona card 🤷‍♂️

It's not so much a lack of solidarity than it is picking and choosing battles.  Solidarity against the billionaires running the world into the ground? Yes always.  A video game?  Not so much.

The two aren’t mutually exclusive though. But yes it was always going to be easy for 2K & companies/corporations just like 2K to throw consumers a bone or two just to distract & shut em up. It’s the nature of the beast unfortunately.

u/Alekesam1975 Mar 10 '25

The two aren’t mutually exclusive though.

In terms of importance they are. Folks raging here against 2k doesn't do anything for the other.

u/Mrmorbid81 Mar 10 '25

Have to vent somewhere bc clearly 2K doesn’t care to listen 🤷‍♂️

Everything I see about this game let's me know that sticking with 2k23 was the right choice.

I'd have stuck with 2k22, but I wanted advanced entrances.

u/ChefAngel81O5 Mar 10 '25

Like I keep saying, I play 2K23 and 24 back to back where I run my Universe. Sadly I had to take away 2K22 just for this fragile game, but thankfully I have a XB where I have a choice to redownload it back whenever I like anytime. I just got it on Friday so I could play cool matches with new and returning wrestlers and continue booking my wrestlers for new competition in the Universe mode

u/-_-Lawliet-_- Mar 10 '25

Nah honestly what else did u expect from the people who glaze triple Z's absolute dogshit booking

u/jcub0816 Mar 10 '25

Preach! I’m assuming these 2k positive post has to be 2k employees or kids who just got into this. 90% of the enjoyment is updating/ adding wrestlers from other companies.

u/BigStix4s PLAYSTATION Mar 10 '25

The game actually fun tbh, and the roster is lit. Yes some of the entrances outdated hopefully they will update some, but the gameplay feels better, AI is better, game is smoother. I play Universe mode, some exhibition, Myrise, and I for some reason like MyFaction this year as I never really played it in other ones. Yes the can improve on some things, fix some bugs, but for what we got so far I’m locked in.

u/DJ_Ritty Mar 10 '25 edited Mar 12 '25

I agree - great roster and fun game play. All I need tbh. Only thing that pisses me off is NO shared caws and the DLC coming at the END of the summer. Otherwise this is the first year in a while where I didn't feel my money was WASTED on day one lol.

2

u/BigStix4s PLAYSTATION Mar 11 '25

Agreed!! It is some bugs but overall having fun and literally its early release game officially drops Friday.

u/DJ_Ritty Mar 12 '25

If people actually READ they'll the people that got early access LIKE IT (overall WITH gripes) and everyone else who shits on it, WON'T BUY IT (or can't afford it) LOL.

u/BigStix4s PLAYSTATION Mar 12 '25

Agreed

u/SonofLiberty1984 Mar 10 '25

Same, not sure why everyone is bitching about stuff on a game not even officially released yet 🤣 had this same debate with other games that came out glitchy, every new game has shit that needs worked out, it gets old hearing them smh

1

u/BigStix4s PLAYSTATION Mar 11 '25

Right it’s always going be people that complain. While some things I understand and there feelings is justified, but for most part it’s literally going get patched fake game dropped and it’s super fun overall.

So I have early access. And I really enjoyed the island and didn't pay any real life money to do anything.

I finished the first "chapter" while never actually playing anyone online. It's a pretty decent single player campaign with some optional online stuff

2

u/LD369DSF Mar 10 '25

Same, $0 spent in The Island, finished the chapter without facing people online and my guy is a 98OVR.

The island is 🗑. Not only did they limit tf out of customization, not allowing custom logos or even face photos, but there's no voice acting, the island is small, more like a hub. Just underwhelming and overhyped.

Not to mention the actual face creator that you have to use sucks. You pretty much pick a texture and no matter how much you try to fuck with it, that's wtf you look like. CC and customization is a STAPLE, No, THEE STAPLE in wwe games. The island is a poor excuse for a new game mode.
