    although the gameplay is better now
    i really cannot bear they force us to play the showcase and myrise to unlock
    there is no reason to buy the fake supercharger if it can't unlock everything like wwe2k19
    i hope you will not see 2ksport anymore next year
    try to change another company please

    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.

    The game is a broken mess and crashes a lot. Sometimes when I’m well into a match. Fun game but don’t sell us an unfinished game

MyRise is the best career mode 2K has ever created, Online is improved and allows much more customization, Showcase mode is different from previous showcase modes which makes it very interesting and unique. Then there is also MyFaction and GM Mode which are currently lacking a bit, but the potential for the next games are there. The gameplay and the graphics stand out in my view. This is by far the best looking wrestling game of all time. Gameplay wise, it is super refreshing and is much different than anything seen in previous games. It is a combination of the simulation style seen in previous 2K games and the arcade style seen in games like Here Comes the Pain. It’s very smooth and a fun experience.

You can hear the pain and slapping sound, audio is superb. And the girls, so hot!! I used to turn off the intro but now I watch it with amazement. Yes moving, smiling, even wiggles and taunts. It’s not just a game but an experience. And what’s more, I’m winning thanks to the new simpler system. This is one hell of a game and experience that I can say is every cent worth the $109 I paid for it. All quality and top class. You can tell that the developers worked really, really hard on this game and created a masterpiece in my humble opinion. Congratulations to the devs. Brilliant game and experience. Absolutely stunning on the x box series x.… Expand

    Really loving this game so far, enjoying the new gameplay/fight mechanics. I'd definitely recommend picking this up, and although there is still room for improvement in the likes of gm mode, overall this game is definitely worth getting. The best in the 2k series in my opinion.

    at first I was satisfied but I'm starting to get tired of this game:
    - modes suck, they are boring (especially GM mode is a big tease)
    - the reverse movement system is really bad (doesn't always give you the option to reverse a move) - the physics of hair and objects remained poor - online servers are not working - they have released a lot of things from the creations (now you can't    at first I was satisfied but I'm starting to get tired of this game:

    - in the roster there are very serious shortcomings (especially among the legends)

    In short, despite a few bugs I have encountered I would say the gameplay experience is JUST decent. Pretty much better than WWE2k20.

    WWE 2K22 is a very strong improvement to the disappointing 2K20. It's more polished, fluid and gameplay has been better. The new modes are good also. It's a nice comeback to the series and hopefully they will build on 2K22.

    Overall a well done reboot to the 2k20 engine and ball busting failure. After 2 years of using and filming with 2k20. This game is so fresh and nice. Honestly runs flawless on a Series S. So worth it. And I think it’s a wonderful step in the right direction.

    This game is a big step up than 2K20 and with the new range of modes the replay ability of the game has gotten stronger at a time when it needed it. Even though there are some limitations with the GM Mode the mode is still fun and if this is the foundation set then next year should bring one of the best games in the series.

The matches themselves are alright but dear lord this game is riddled with bugs. The MyRise is awful and not engaging whatsoever and was almost unplayable for a week after release due to a glitch that caused crashes. Online is broken and can't use created superstars without it crashing plus there is a network issue that causes reversals to not work about 80% of the time. There is a ridiculous amount of visual bugs with limbs and objects clipping into characters and the environment. I won't even talk about the microtransactions because we all know how ridiculous 2K is with that. They already have the framework for a great wrestling game laid out for them (older games like SDvR) but they continue to put out garbage games like this. I was hoping that year off would help them but apparently they need a few more years off. Don't waste $70 on this game. I bought 2k21 on a steam sale a few years ago for $5 and had a great time because even though it was a mess, it's only $5. Wait for 2K22 to go on sale for $10-$20 then pick it up, it's not 100% garbage and there's still a bit of fun to be had in it but a game of this low quality has no business being priced at $70.

    FIX GM MODE!!

    My first season of gm mode hard crashes at week 17/50, and no matter how many times I've tried to proceed to the next week, it always crashes out to the Xbox home screen. I gave up on the game for a few weeks after being told there was nothing they could do about it, and that it must be my internet connection, which is complete bs.

I finally decided to start a new season, only to get the same game breaking big at week 16/50 this time. I have no downloads or created assets in the game. This has completely deflated me, as gm mode is the only one that really grabbed me and I could play for hours. After searching the internet, I've found that this is a common issue, with tons of people reporting the exact same bug at various points in gm mode. Until this is addressed, WWE 2k22 has to have a 0 rating for me, as it is, at the time of writing this, unplayable for me. PLEASE FIX THIS GAME!    … Expand

    2K is the worst company ever!!! This game you can't play because of servers going down. So we have to wait over a month for more people after 2 years.

Legends made WWE and for them not being in is ridiculous since 2K has had 2 years to do it. I know for sure they won't be happy with this!

    WWE 2K22 is a wonderful addition to the franchise. With a vast array of gameplay options, excellent graphics, and an in-depth customisation section, there is something for everyone. Sadly, there are still issues but most will amuse you.

    WWE 2K22 is a massive step up in quality for the troubled wrestling franchise. The gameplay engine is in great shape, and the mode quality is mostly solid. While there are improvements to be made going forward, I'm no longer totally hopeless about the future of the series.
