I think anyone with a degree of sense understood that when Yukes quit the series, the game was going to change. And essentially start over. When they did start over, I was more concerned the game was going to eject match types and an entire generation of moves, ala the dreaded 2K14-2K15 changeover that set the game back years....and only with 2K18 and 19 did they get anywhere close to that high mark. So when they didn't nuke it entirely I was cool with it. Now, when I played 2k22 extensively I felt mixed. The models are mostly good, some excellent. Arenas are incredible. But losing advanced entrance hurt. Losing fatigued finishers hurt. Losing the classic gameplay hurt. And yet, here i am mildly excited about 23 because at least I know what this will feel like. AEW FF is too young and the models do not impress me, at all. Wrestling Code, we'll be lucky to see it and play it by end of 2024. FWIW, I don't mess with MyFaction (MTX is the devil), but like I said yesterday, if 2K lost the license, this game would be far far worse than it is now. So I'm content with it...provisionally. I still want certain things back. Advanced Entrance I need to see how exactly that works before I get excited. I want better AI that doesn't go for the damn top rope. I want actual true movesets (Righteous stay the hell away from this). And I want a game that isn't crashing.

OOOOO from the top rope!

Uh, gonna play devil's advocate here. A new dev/pub team would have reset the game and all it's features to square one. With a lot of those possibly never returning. And who would WWE realistically license themselves to? EA? Activision? Because those two would have done what 2K did with MyFaction and made it worse. We're talking re-wiring gamecode to better serve the MTX part of the game. Far far worse. Is VC perfect? Hell no. But we need to consider that we're a minority to them. 2K is making games for the majority and that majority liked 2K22.

The champ is here! Play through an interactive sports documentary, narrated by John Cena himself, covering the key moments and toughest opponents of John Cena’s storied 20-year WWE career. And in a franchise-first, take on the role of each marquee opponent - some of WWE’s greatest of all time - as you aim to take down Mr. Hustle, Loyalty, and Respect. Reminds me of Proving Ground/Beat the Streak from the 2K14/15 days. Not jazzed about the interactive documentary thing....the last one was awful, with how awkward the music was, the clunky game-footage transitions...ugh

Probably can't because of their contracts signed with WWE. It's not a Legends deal, so obviously in terms of likeness rights it's different for trainers and backstage staffers. Just because they are under contract with WWE doesn't mean they are eligible for the game .

It was Batitsa, HHH, and Cena as the final 3. I remember Chavo and Mark Henry and Carlito were the first guys out when Cena arrived.

HOLY CRAP LOOK AT THE COPE OMG

It's always reliable. You can set your watch to it.

That video glitch about 5 seconds in is...curious.

yeah those leakers are def working overtime. it's almost comical how deep these lies go...like that "leaker" who said Uncle Howdy would be DLC. Or how they said "there would be a teaser on Smackdown last Friday RAW 30 on Monday" and other comical lies and exaggerations. Mike Straw even called them both out on it. EDIT: here's an example of a blatant lie Yeah uh...there was never a tournament option in Universe, ever.

If anything, a lot of these so called leakers with no faces or names just take guesses that can't fail OR say stuff everyone wants to get clicks and likes and follows. It's a simple game, hedge bets and tell a few lies, get like 15% of your guesses right and double down on your Ws. Like this clown saying Uncle Howdy was DLC. Uncle Howdy. Who hasn't even wrestled a match. And appeared on TV in person once. I can't wait to see him depart Twitter once the con gets exposed and he locks his account like that faker KingMoeX did.

Mike Straw has shot this all down.

oh god. twitter and instagram will be insufferable.
