    I'm not sure why people feel the need to rate this game a 0, especially those who haven't even played it ("canceled my preorder", "watched on youtube"). I probably would have scored this game an 8 but since there are so many unnecessary 0 scores I'll be rating this a 10 to try and counter those.

    To be fair this has so far exceeded my expectations.
    Gameplay is fun, new controls are much better and people moaning about playing showcase to unlock things are a bit weird, after tutorial I played showcase to unlock things - it took me 2 hours and if I'm honest helped me learn the new controls more in a "safer environment " Online has connectivity issues, haven't come across any glitches    To be fair this has so far exceeded my expectations.

    No wrestling game will ever be perfect, but this is the best feeling wwe game since here comes the pain!

    Edit: Should be a 9/10 bit there's some right trolls on here giving it 0 without reason, so I have upped my score by 1 to slightly combat this.    … Expand

    This is the best wrestling game since WCW vs NWO on N64. WWE2K22 is loaded with features and I love the amount of content including the deep create a wrestler feature!

    WWE2K22 is the best wrestling game ever made in my opinion. I've been totally blown away with how smooth and fast it feels, the graphics are out of this world. The character models look so realistic you could honestly believe it was. It also has more game modes than you can shake a stick at. Huge credit to Visual Concepts for getting it perfect after much disappointment with WWE2K20. TrustWWE2K22 is the best wrestling game ever made in my opinion.

    Not only are the graphics and visuals a huge improvement, the gameplay is on a whole other level altogether.

The reason I gave it a 10 is because it improves on such a high level on the parts of the games that are most important to me, but I have to give props where they are absolutely do. The new modes such as my GM they need to be fleshed out and have more options available, it’s definitely a great foundation to build off of.

    In terms of my game crashing or experiencing any game breaking glitches or bugs, I haven’t noticed any that have completely crashed my game or glitched anything out of the ordinary.

    WWE 2K22 definitely hits different, but it also looks different. I think you would enjoy this, do yourselves a favour and pick it up.    … Expand

    El mejor juego de lucha libre desde que es 2K, esta excelente. El ángulo nuevo de las cámaras está brutal. El showcase todavía no lo e jugado pero pronto lo jugare.

    WWE 2K22 is simply stunning in visuals and fun in gameplay. You can have so much fun playing exhibition with friends or even alone. There's the phenomenal 2K showcase based on the legendary career of Lucha Legend Rey Mysterio and there's MyRise where you make your own superstar and take and take them to the top of the mountain. MyRise offers both male and female stories. Then the amazingWWE 2K22 is simply stunning in visuals and fun in gameplay. You can have so much fun playing exhibition with friends or even alone.

There's so many neat little mechanics and features. Then you have the newly introduced "MyFaction" mode where it's basically from NBA but it's a welcome addition. The online modes are good and cross-platform community creations is a very welcome feature. Universe mode has seen some welcome improvements and superstar mode will help lots of people who like focusing on one star's career.
    Overall WWE 2K22 is a phenomenal comeback for the series and a 10/10.    … Expand

    This game is incredible. It is the best looking wrestling game. Besides that, the gameplay tweaks make the game a lot more fun than in past years. Yes, some modes could have been fleshed out a bit more but I feel like this si something they can improve fin coming years. I highly recommend for anyone who is a wrestling fan.

    I think this game is the best WWE game I have played in a long time. I love that it is easy buttons and I love the suspense of a comeback. The last few WWE games have been bad. I’m glad 2K took a year off to make this game. I’m currently in My Rise career mode and I love the choices I have to make. I recommend this game for PS5. So many options to building your player and so many moves. II think this game is the best WWE game I have played in a long time. I love that it is easy buttons and I love the suspense of a comeback.

    Been playing Wrestling games since the NES, I think this might be the best one ever made, over taking the previous best entry No Mercy on the N64.

    Best wrestling game in years. GM mode is finally back (ok too few match types, needs more matches per event), myFaction is very funny, awesome Showcase, great myRise and a solid universe as usual. Gameplay is really smooth. Graphics is awesome (hairs due to outdated engine not that great). Overall 9/10.

    The best 2k wrestling game since 2k14. Huge step up from 2k20 (of course), solid gameplay feels like a mix between HCTP and SvR 2011. MyRise feels like season mode from HCTP also with tonssssss of storylines to do. MyGM kinda of barebones but still is pretty fun. MyFaction didn’t even touch yet cause microtransactions yuck.

    I really enjoyed the game when I was able to play it. Huge improvement over the last entry in the series. I however am most of the time stuck at the title screen with a known bug that does not allow Xbox elite controllers and others to properly connect to the game.

    This is such a fresh breath of air after what we got from 2k20. The gameplay is amazing and the graphics on are amazing too. Love the camera angles they use for entrances. GM mode is a nice addition but limited. Hopefully we will see it expand with future iterations. Good stuff overall. A step in the right direction!

    Although the game is certainly better compared to the older version, the impression is spoiled by the sometimes clumsy controls. The strike aiming could use some tweaking. Pressing the right buttons is often more a matter of chance or luck than a planned strategy. The graphics have grown noticeably in beauty compared to the last game. [Issue#318]

    Efforts were made to keep 2020 as a road accident, and this time they came up with a game like it should have. With plenty of game mode and plenty of content, a fun WWE experience awaits you.

    WWE 2K22 fixes many of the serious bugs of the previous game and builds a solid foundation to build on with great gameplay and interesting game modes. Although minor, there are issues that need to be fixed, but there is a lot of fun to be had here.
