    - Characters locked behind insane amounts of playtime, a paywall or DLCs which come out months later is just a no-go to me. Not to speak of the price for every edition after the standard one. You can't even buy the nWo pack as a standalone pack (which should be included in the season pass as well as the pre-order bonus too)

    - Enemy AI / any player can just lock you in moves/attacks loop since you can't reversal every attack like it used to in older games.

    - My faction is just like ultimate team in FIFA games.... If you could just simply have the objective to win it would be somewhat fun, but I ain't going to bother with dumb requirements.
    Getting forced fighting legendary AI which reversals 99% of the time and camps you in move/attack loops whenever they get the chance to do so just to get 3 medals.. Even the 1 star AI tryhards like nobodies business. 126 medals? 500 wins? Shady overpriced rigged packs?

    WTF? Where are cool objectives as I remember from smackdown vs raw 2007? It definitely should replace the dumb idea of the current requirement system of the games.
    Just straight up win matches, no stupid requirements like “win but atleast have 2million match rating" – whoever came up with this – please quit your job.

    I'm out this bish. Going to scratch this mode from my game entirely. Same with boring ass MyGM

    - What's the point of MyGM, Universe and MyRise which basically are all 3 the same.
    The only option is "MyRise" since it's one actual “story mode”.

    Universe and MyGM make no sense to me if they don't hold any reward (unlockable). Due to my season pass I have all purchasable goods unlocked, so what's the point in playing these then?

    - Moves very often don't connect, you jump past / above or next to enemies. Even with regular standing/ground moves. Haven't played any WWE game that was this bad to just not make the game look dumb. In THQ games it just worked..

    - Getting body damage from missing any move should be possible to turn off

    - Stamina system in general is just garbage. I turned it always off in SvR games (in most of them it was off by default)

    - Takes ages to get up if you miss a simple running skill – not as fluent as I'm used to WWE games

    - Controls are more complicated than it should be. Who needs blocking? Are we in tekken?
    Controls from SvR 2011 were the best to me.

    Game seems not too bad compared to all WWE games 2k released before. Yet, it successfully earned itself a mega negative review with the points above. I expected them to learn in over 1 decade to create a proper game and not still look dumb next to old THQ WWE games.

    THQ was the real deal on wrestling games.
    Smackdown vs RAW 2005-2011 were all more or less good. 2k12 and after were jack crap.    … Expand

    +Game play better than 2k20(worse than 2k19), 2k19
    +More move-sets
    +Stable fps with low-end pc
    -Boring story mode (aka myrise)
    -Still laggy online (sometimes game disconnets you without any reason)
    -Very bad soundtrack
    -Cut-scenes 30fps locked

    The graphics look a lot better than WWE 2K20, so it has some praise for that. I really wish they would add more features to the Universe mode, as it seems like it is again the same thing over and over again. The GM mode needs a lot of work. I loved that they brought it back, but it is severely stripped down and the roster you can have is extremely small. Hopefully 2K23 will improve onThe graphics look a lot better than WWE 2K20, so it has some praise for that.

    WWE 2K22 is many things, but one thing most of us can probably agree on is that it is not, as retired WWE wrestler Bret Hart would say: "The Best There Is, The Best There Was and The Best There Ever Will Be". While WWE 2K22 might have made considerable strides forward in the area of general stability, compared with its infamously terrible launch, it’s doubtful that the studio will bother continuing to support it for much longer. One doesn’t have to be The Rock to know that 2K is probably already cooking up a new annual instalment. Here's hoping that in-between now and then, the publisher learns from both the successes and failures of WWE 2K22 and use that as a guide to give players a true WWE experience worthy of the license.

    We can't help but admit that 2K managed to create perhaps the most complete title of the series. Despite any hiccups, WWE 2K22 entertains enough to be recommended to people with little involvement with the genre or even an interest in sports martial arts.
