Greedy & Lazy.

This review is compromised of my personal opinions having gotten every WWE title on PlayStation since WWF Attitude. The game is fun, for a product that should have been where it's at, from a gameplay aspect, years ago. This franchise since 2K took over has been let down after let down. There's no excuse to charge this much for such a subpar product. The gameplay is fun, when it's not broken, but its few positives are overshadowed by a cancerous money grab via this Ringside Pass. They took a simple and straight forward system of pay more to unlock early and decided to keep letting you pay more while grossly locking away what you paid extra for in order to keep their statics up and make people play game modes they have no interest in. They sacrifice player freedom for their own micromanagement of how they would like their game played, even after it's been purchased. Graphic's have not made a true leap since 2K15, which was 11 years ago if you do that math. Which was also the same year they gutted the match types and features to where they're still "Trying" to get the games to where they already were and have failed. They've fail, due in large part I believe, in wasting resources in financially predatory modes like MyFaction and the now Ringside Pass where they rather incentivize players to pay more money than to dedicate time to making a title wrestling fans can simply just enjoy THE WAY THEY WANT TO. They only update the entrances and models of I would say about 25% of the roster, where even some current champions over the scope of the previous year weren't updated beyond a new attire. Attires and Ratings are the main things that get updated, and both of these things can be done and are done by the players themselves, which fits their desires perfectly.

Can’t recommend!

Overall this game falls flat. The good is cancelled out overwhelmingly by the bad. In terms of gameplay and base roster, there are mostly positives. The ragdoll physics make weapon matches more fun. The edition of thumbtacks is welcomed. Myfaction, Myrise, and The Island are still corny, unrealistic, qnd not fun. The DLC was replaced with a ringside pass/battlepass which should never be present on a paid title, especially one that cost $150 plus tax. They force you to grind to unlock legends qbe DLC that would have previosly been included in deluxe editions. The minimum amount of currency they provide makes it boring and repetitive to unlock 40 level eqch over 6 seasons. There is a monetary and time investment required to earn DLC that you pay for. They continuue to lock most personas behind paywalls and the devs are clueless as to what fans actually want in a pro wrestling video game. They prioritize playtime and monetization over fun and try to control how you play the game that you purchase. Despite the potential to get better, they continue to take 5 steps back for each step forward.

Unethical Game

WWE 2K for another year releases a game full of bugs and disappointments. The same bugs that they take forever to fix every year always show up again. The online servers are trash, nothing but error messages and crashes. The creation suite is neglected once again with majority of the same stale items or things being locked. My faction and the island should not be prioritized in this game as majority of players don’t care about these modes. The ringside battle pass is an absolute joke and money grab. After spending over $150 why would the dlc be locked behind a battle pass along with things that we’ve already had access to from the jump in previous games. The battle pass is time consuming also, casual players will not be able to unlock everything. 2K needs to listen to its fanbase, this game shouldn’t be like this. It’s clear that 2k is only interested in scamming consumers by making the most money possible while doing the least amount of work possible. They’re banking on customers spending even more money on micro transactions and it’s NOT RIGHT! We deserve better and I suggest people save their money and not by this predatory game. Major changes need to be made with business practices and the development team over at WWE 2K!!

Dont Buy

$150 to unlock and then still have to "grind" over the next 10 months to still have to unlock everything? I wont even be playing this game in 3 months, let alone 10. It’s like ordering food from a restaurant on Grub Hub and having it delivered, To then find out you gotta cook everything yourself.

Worst Entry yet.

While core gameplay improvements are welcome. They are overshadowed by the predatory monetization and game breaking crashes and bugs. WWE deserves better than this and your money can be better spent elsewhere. Enjoy playing your games, not being frustrated and robbed by them like this game does.

Horrible.

$150 for a broken, money grabbing game. This company should be ashamed of themselves

Not Recommended

This is, without a doubt, the most predatory video game I have ever played when it comes to microtransactions. You ordered the $150 version? Cool—here's a battle pass for you to grind through just to unlock those superstars that you paid to play with. But no worries, you can always give us another $70 to bypass all of the levels and unlock everything! I mean, seriously, what kind of scummy human being sits in a development meeting and comes up with things like this?? But hey, they give you some VC throughout the battle pass. But what's that? You can only use it inside of the terrible Island mode...which I REFUSE to touch. MyFaction is also the worst it has ever been. Of course you can expect to be forced to buy cards just to unlock the Live Events matches (which usually give you the best cards in the mode). If it was even a reasonable amount of sweatiness and greed I could look over that, but it isn't. You usually need a card that is rewarded for completing a full collection, which you guessed it, can only be done by buying packs with real money. And the odds are so awful that you would have to spend hundreds of dollars buying packs just to complete a collection and get that ONE CARD that you need to do the Live Event match. And as if that isn't bad enough, they also make the matches unreasonably difficult and then still add stipulations and debuffs to your already weak card to put you at the biggest disadvantage possible. Now why would they do this? Just to be a-holes?? Not really. They mainly do it to slow your progress down to a snail's pace so that you will eventually get to the point where you are frustrated and just buy packs with real money to bypass the grind. I tried playing World Tour and one of the first matches is a submission match against a pretty highly rated card (and of course you are restricted from using anything close to as powerful). I landed seven signature moves, seven finisher moves, and beat him with weapons for ten minutes and could not get anywhere close to submitting him; yet he hits one finisher and can submit you almost immediately. And you can't even swap over from the button-mashing mini-game to the one that gives you more control in MyFaction because God forbid they made anything actually doable. Are you seeing the pattern yet?

BUSINESS as usual

This would have and should have been their moment in the sun. Instead, it is the close successor to WWE2K20. The graphics are solid. The gameplay is on point. There have been decent improvements in things here and there. THE GREED HAS RUINED THE ENTIRE EXPERIENCE. The Battle Pass is a cash grab joke! They expect players to grind hours to unlock, not just the bonus content that many of us paid extra for, but many of the simple things that have ALWAYS been included with the base game. Of course they have an option for you, If you prefer you can shell out $2.00 per tier that you want to skip and there are 40 tiers in each season, and there will be 6 season. Do the math. All for content you already paid for. Online play is impossible. STAY AWAY FROM THIS LOSER.

NOT CONSUMER FRIENDLY!!!

Do not buy!!!! The devs of this game would rather patch out convenient harmless grind tactics than fix their game. 2k is money hungry and simply doesn’t care about player experience!!!
