"...Antes de dar minha opinião, vou deixar claro que fui forçado a abandonar o jogo, devido aos muitos problemas da versão mais recente, o jogo crasha muito."

Ao menos consegui experimentar algumas das novas funções que o jogo permite e modos de jogo.

O modo SHOWCASE é interessante, ficou mais legal agora com a transição entre as cenas reais da luta com a versão em 3D, houve um certo capricho nessa decisão. Porém, agora são quase 17 objetivos que você precisa fazer durante a luta (alguns menos) e mesmo com a ajuda mostrando os botões a serem apertados, continuo minha mesma crítica a essa modalidade, não é muito fácil para quem nunca conheceu os golpes de pro-wrestling. Em alguns momentos eu fiquei tão frustrado em realizar o objetivo, que eu desisti e terminei a luta de qualquer jeito. Além disso, as escolhas quanto as lutas são muito regulares, eu teria escolhido outras. E não tem sentido nenhum uma luta Royal Rumble quem nem existe pra fechar o modo de jogo.

MY FACTION não quis nem experimentar, isso ai é cassa niquel certo. Quer jogo de cartinha? Vai la jogar SuperCard, esquece essa merda ai.

MY RISE, agora tem duas campanhas, uma feminina e outra masculina. Tem momentos bacanas, mas tem também suas bizarrices, começando por algumas animações de personagens não reais, fica nítido o que foi capturado com movimento humano e o que foi animado na manha mesmo, isso causa uma certa estranheza. As storylines são bem fantasiosas, e ele joga momentos de escolhas que não tem sentido algum. Onde o "NÃO" não encadeia em alguma consequência, então pra que raios eu deveria ter a opção de escolher fazer ou não alguma coisa? Não pude dar sequência a essa jogatina, devido as várias crashadas que o jogo começou a dar.

MY UNIVERS, tem o modo clássico e tem a opção de você controlar o mesmo personagem. Não consegui sentir tantas diferenças aqui, até porque não pude explorar mais do jogo

GM MODE, nem cheguei a experimentar, como disse por problemas de crashs.

No geral, a trilha sonora é medíocre, eu confesso que desativei as músicas e coloquei as themes dos wreslers, mesmo não gostando de algumas, porque as músicas originais não combinam nada com o jogo.

Os sistemas de criação são bacanas como sempre, embora eu não tenha paciência de ficar horas criando. Bacana novas opções de lutas, você poder se tornar referee, as novas reações do público durante as chants. Legal, que não é um jogo pesado, aqui rodou muito bem sem comer muito processamento, mas como disse cheio de bugs e glitches.

Com mais alguns patches de correção esse jogo pode ser jogável, eu abandonei porque ele crasha demais, futuramente quem sabe eu retorne.

Well, 2K you lucky sum bitches. You've done it again. Another fucking solid WWE game.

It's like they're finally giving a shit about getting better every year now which I love. Everything great from last year is here with a lot of new epic stuff too.

And the added realism is so cool. Wrestlers ' face paints coming off during matches showing how goofy my CAW looks underneath is something I didn't know I needed.

Casket Match! YEP! Ambulance Match! AHHHH! Special Referee! FUCK YES! So glad we got Casket and Special Referee back. Just praying we get Buried Alive next year. And all three matches play great! I'm actually enjoying being a Special Referee online more than just wrestling. It's so much fun.

Showcase this year is....kinda wonky. I get why they did the 40 Years of WrestleMania but....not every WrestleMania is there. And it really suffers due to a lot of great wrestlers that were at WrestleMania are now in AEW and can't be in the game (Daniel Bryan, Chris Jericho, Edge just to name a few.) Seriously, guys. Make some sort of deal between the two companies to get these guys in future games. We miss them!

Also, the cut from gameplay to the actual match is kinda annoying this time. Mainly due to all the blurs in the archive footage. It really takes me out of it. Some of them being really unnecessary. Though I find it funny that Vince McMahon is blurred out in one cut-scene and yet is fully visible in another.

Yeah. Less said about him the better considering what's happened.

MyRise is fun again! Doesn't feel as gimmicky as the last year and feels more like a genuine storyline like Road to WrestleMania was in the Smackdown vs RAW series. I'm enjoying that so far.

Online however? It is so fucking broken. The servers are so laggy and getting a stable session is a real chore. Please fix it ASAP, 2K. Even Community Creations feels broken this year.

But overall, this game is fantastic. And it's another solid entry. 2K have outdone themselves over the last three years. Let's hope they keep this up for years to come. Wrestling games have never felt more enjoyable.

F for AEW Fight Forever. That game ain't doing so well.

Get your roody-poo, candy ass over to the Smackdown Hotel, because 2K's WWE series is once again back with their yearly release of WWE 2k24. WWE 2K24 celebrates 40 years of WrestleMania history, honoring the fans with a whole new batch of WWE superstars and legends, plenty of fan-favorite and quality-of-life additions, and a retrospective showcase through some of the best WrestleMania matches in WWE history.

While this year's newest additions aren't exactly huge, the amount of tune-ups and small additions are enough to make 2k24 feel a lot better than last year's release. You get new matches (Guest Referee, Ambulance, Casket, Gauntlet), animations are cleaned up (especially with Irish Whips), tag matches are fixed (tag partners can only come in the ring once per tag), and MyFaction specific models are now usable in other gamemodes.

This year's Showcase mode takes you from iconic historical matches such as Hulk Hogan versus Andre the Giant and Ultimate Warrior versus Rick Rude all the way up to modern day with Cody Rhodes versus Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39. The mode brings some WWE legends into the game, like Ricky Steamboat and George "The Animal" Steele, and some great variants of the Legends we already had, like '94 Shawn Michaels. Like the previous two games, the mode leaves a lot to be desired, but it cleverly mixes real life footage into the game's animations, and is at least expansive enough across WWE history to pique most wrestling fan's interest for at least one playthrough.

The game's story mode (MyRise) returns with another new set of stories, one in the men's division and the other in the women's division. The stories are alright, and it's fun to listen to some of the WWE stars do their best at voice acting, but you're more likely to play through the mode to unlock the specific arenas and Create-A-Wrestler items locked behind the story.

MyGM, the solo or multiplayer competitive management mode, gets a bunch of new features such as trades, new match types, and scouting. Universe mode gets a few new Rivalry cutscenes, but not much else except for some handy bug fixes. MyFaction is about the same as it was, but like I said, even if you don't like the gameplay of the mode, you may have an excuse to play through to unlock some specific wrestler variants.

2k24 feels great to play, even if the series has become more arcadey since 2k19. As I say with all sports games, this is once again a moment that shows how valuable a second year of development would be to these games; but for being whipped together in basically a year of work, WWE 2k24 is at least a whole lot of fun.

Boy oh boy where do I even begin. Cody.. honey, my pookie bear. I have loved you ever since I first laid eyes on you. The way you run into the ring and strike fear into your enemies eyes. Your silky smooth cross rhodes and that gorgeous disaster kick. I would do anything for you. I wish it were possible to freeze time so I would never have to watch you retire.

You had a rough first WWE run, but you never gave up hope. You are even amazing off the ring, you're a great husband and father, sometimes I even call you dad. I forever dread and weep, thinking of the day you will one day retire. I would sacrifice my own life it were the only thing that could put a smile on your beautiful face.

You have given me so much joy, and heartbreak over the years. I remember when you first left the WWE and its like my heart got broken into a million pieces. But a tear still fell from my right eye when I watched you make a name for yourself in the indies, because deep down, my glorious king deserved it. I just wanted you to return home. Then alas, you did, my sweet baby boy returned home and I rejoiced. 2023 was a hard year for us baby, but in 2024 you made history happen. You finished your story and beat Roman Reigns to win the WWE undisputed championship and I couldn't believe it.

I was crying, bawling even, and I heard my glorious king exclaim these words, "WRESTLING HAS MORE THAN ONE ROYAL FAMILY!" Not only have you changed the game of professional wrestling and the world forever, but you've eternally changed my world. And now you're getting older, but still the goat, my goat. I love you pookie bear, my glorious king, Cody Rhodes.

First wwe 2k game I've played in years and they haven't really advanced much. They added mygm but it's just a bit too much for me and I would have appreciated a simpler gm mode like in the svr series. The new matches like war games are pretty fun but the stiff gameplay is a bit frustrating to go through plus the game glitches out for no reason making me restart a match or the whole game crashes for no reason. It's ok if you like simulation stuff but it still needs to improve massively for me to geniuently enjoy it.

DISCLAIMER: I got a reviewer key fo free to play this game earlier.
Tl;dr: It's good, but it could've been great.

Both MyRise campaigns are really good, the best they have ever being in this kind of game (maybe i'm little biased towards Jacob Cass storyline in RTWM WWE '12) but they are fun.

They were written by Drew Gulak himself and as a guy from the business he knows how to make interesting stories. I thought the women MyRise was significantly more well written than the male one though, it legit got me emotional, but both were fun.

Universe Mode is LITERALLY THE SAME THING as last years, including that stupid bug in which someone would cash-in but even if they lost the match in the PLE they would still have a match against you in RAW and Smackdown, it's basically "yeah this MITB contract only expires once you manage to win the title"

MYGM is fun, more of the same.

Showcase Mode needs to be gone, it doesn't even make sense at this point.

The idea of adding save-states to CAW/CAS is really good, and i wish they add that to Create a Moveset in future games as well, i was creating a moveset of one of my CAS and my game crashed (and i live in a third world country where the energy might go out randomly) so i had to do it all over again.

The strikes trading mini-game is fun, but if they managed to do that with chain wrestling at the same time, it would be even better. Speaking of chain wrestling, we now get crawl pins back which are always awesome.

I feel like super finishers should be 2 finishers bars only, you most likely won't have 3 bars of finisher unless you really pad out the match. But they are cool, i just wish we can remove the drunk effect.

Also you can deactivate HUD while spectating AI x AI this year, which it was in overdue time.

For last i'll speak for the DLC, they were announced and they are cool as hell, but man, CM Punk, Dragon Lee, Jade Cargill, but man, i really, really wish we got the Moves Pack DLC back. We are limited to having moves only WWE wrestlers have, so most of the moves that are in the game that aren't from any of them, came from some of these packs back in the Yukes day. The Moves Pack DLC were basically indies/Japan moves pack which were incredibly cool. We still don't have Kevin Owen's avalanche Fisherman Buster - a move he does basically every match - and Kevin Owens has been in this games for like... 6 years already? or more? Also we have 4 burning hammers but only one animation for the Emerald Flowsion that is probably 8 years old at this point. I was expecting a new one for Gunther's Last Symphony.

They apparently made create an arena worse but i guess they will fix it with the time.

It does feel like a DLC to WWE 2K23, but it feels like a huge DLC. Something like Phantom Liberty was to Cyberpunk and i don't really mean this in a bad way.

If you are a wrestling fan, you won't find anything better for sure. But i'm still hoping for that definitive WWE game experience in which we still don't have. We are this close to greatness.

gameplay and visuals wise are definitely the best as a lot of the old legendary wrestling games like here comes the pain and no mercy are fuelled by nostalgia.

I just feel like it's wasted potential, how can you not have a decent single player mode where you can just pick a wrestler, go through a storyline with branching paths and walk around back stage in 2024 when they existed all the way back on the ps1/ps2?.

I know that there are licenses for wrestlers and themes and all that, but by now these games should have all arenas and wrestlers new and old. There are just too many iconic wrestlers and arenas missing, and with 2ks anti community stance on mods it doesn't allow for an ultimate wrestling experience. Creations is cool but limited and created wrestlers mostly end up looking goofy, and missing themes and extras breaks immersion.

I would only recommend this for die hard wrestling fans, if you stopped watching 15 years ago like me i'd say pass.

I believe the 2K games starting from '22 have hit their stride and found what works for them. The creation suite always blows me away with it's vast options for players; whether it's making a wrestler, designing a stage, or creating your very own wrestling show. The new match types are a very welcome addition and the MyRise storyline was a fun experience as a WWE fan. The things that keep this game from being amazing are it's poor online modes and glitches that don't necessarily break the game, but slightly inconvenience you. I also hope they take a different approach with the showcase mode next year as I'm personally burnt out from the current formula of checking an objective list so I can advance to the next list in a match.

now that ive been playn this new wwe 4 ab 2 weeks I can express my thoughts on it btw I m right u r not
this really feels like 2k23 with a bit more glitter on it which I dont dislike tbh
i f with the ambulance match
I like the punch after punch after punch thingy
we finally have special guest ref
dont forget wwe is way more fun with some friends and if u dont have any well that sucks
but yea 2k delivered im feelin a pretty solid 8/10 (or maybe im just glazin cody idk if you like sweaty men check it out)

The best of the new 2k WWE era (22,23,this). It goes to show EA that if you take a year off of yearly sports releases they can actually turn 180 quality wise. It's not a coincidence that 2020 was awful, they take a year off development and go straight to 2k22, and that's when the series started being good again.

22/23/24 are great, before them I hadn't enjoyed a wrestling game since Smackdown vs Raw 08. Great showcase mode this year too, albeit skipping quite a few more Wrestlemania's than I expected them to.

Also DLC plans look stacked, Big hype for the ECW pack and the WCW pack.
