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.

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.

This is definitely an upgrade from the previous year. graphics as always continue to get better, but they've actually done some work in the other modes. Universe, while still not as good as I know it can be (i.e WWE 12, 13) is an improvement from the bugginess of last years game. GM mode is steadily becoming one of 2Ks most consistent and best game modes MyRise has some interesting stories this year and MyFaction will (hopefully) be a more useful mode if not for Person a cards alone. The one knock I have on this game is showcase, which was done so much better in the past games. Not giving us ingame cutscenes and instead choosing to splice the real match with the game just seems a bit dumb to me

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 7/10 (or maybe im just glazin cody idk if you like sweaty men check it out)

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.

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.

"...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.
