    Game is currently unplayable with its FPS only functioning within the range of 3-15. Loads fine and menus run fluidly, but once in a match, the game craps itself. Might be playable after updates.

    DO NOT BUY -LOOT BOXIFICATION OF PREVIOUSLY BASELINE CONTENT-

    If you buy these games for the single player RPG mode, you will be extremely angry. You can no longer import CAWs into career mode. You must create your character for that mode with a wizard that offers limited options. Even with the Accelerator, everything in that mode is still gated behind a loot box mechanic. It's pretty
    DO NOT BUY -LOOT BOXIFICATION OF PREVIOUSLY BASELINE CONTENT-

    If you buy these games for the single player RPG mode, you will be extremely angry. You can no longer import CAWs into career mode. You must create your character for that mode with a wizard that offers limited options. Even with the Accelerator, everything in that mode is still gated behind a loot box mechanic. It's pretty clear that the microtransactions were removed last second after the blowback against NBA 2k18. Until they fix this and allow CAWs to be imported into career, avoid this game.

    On the actual game side, it looks a little better, the roster is large, gameplay is improved and the move list goes on for miles. There is a game worth owning under this nonsense, but until they fix this, unless you are getting it for universe mode or to do exhibitions, it's basically a broken game when compared to previous years.

    I thought FIFA 18 and NBA 2k18 are bad. Then I played this "game"... Absolutely, the worst game in 2K history. Lagging as hell, absolutely unplayable multiplayer (crashes, delays, etc.), textures, controls, music, menus, gamepla... Literally, everything is awful. 0/10

    Very good game. Had fun playing it on ps4. Favorite thing to do is making custom characters. Such a broad variety of items.

    WWE 2K18’s price gives you the right to expect a triple AAA product, but instead you get a shabby game that looks like it was thrown together hastily and as cheaply as possible. [13/2017, p.61]

    So the sport hasn’t changed apart from an increased roster, but if you have a previous installment of the series, you may as well stick to it, unless having the latest crop of pro wrestling stars is of utmost importance to you. But, if you’re looking to get into some wrestling for the PC, then the monopoly 2K Sports holds on licensed wrestling games means that even though WWE 2K18 has a heap of issues, it is unfortunately still the best available.

    You can clearly tell the age of this wrestling giant, but real WWE fans will certainly have fun.
