Oh wait did not notice this in the roster reveal, we'll be finally getting an Ezekiel vs Elias. Good to see they included him. Hoping that they have a storyline for MyRise regarding that.

Looks like we'll have to wait for next year to get the MMM, Zelina Vega, Nikki Cross, Baron Corbin and others updated. Hope they add them in an update but knowing 2K they will add those new models in My"F*ck"tion lol....

Same. I hate irish whip specially when outside going to the ring. They usually hit the apron eve though you pressed the right direction. Yeah myfaction aucks. Nothing i could do since its part of the trophy achievement.

I've been playing WWE 2K22 almost everyday starting last month since I want to achieve the Platinum Trophy since it will be my first WWE platinum. I'm just finishing all MyFaction items which is the most important thing to do since platinum is not achievable once the servers for this game is taken down. I just hate the 500 wins in the lifetime achievements. Whoever thought of that should be punched in the face hahaha as I really hate MyFaction. Also, since I am playing this game everyday after work I now see the games flaws. I really hate the collision detection of this game. Specially for Springboard and top turnbuckle moves. I really hope they fix that in WWE 2K23. Reversals also suck big time for 2K22, even though I was able to press the triangle button at the correct timing it still does not do the reversal even though you could see the reversal button icon trigger. I am at 74% complete with my trophy hunt. Luckily I was able to finish all MyGM achievements in 2 days as that mode is a$$. Same with universe mode. Again, MyFaction grind is BULLSH*T!!! I hope 2K23 will not have any multiplayer online achievements/trophies as I might try to get that platinum too.

Hahahaha oh yeah I get what you mean. I doubt they will add anything but I wish they bring back holding the submission even though the ref called a rope break and then count you for DQ like in SVR 2006. Really miss that feature, adds drama to the game. Even the headlock count and the double ten count in the ring should return. I don't know why they removed those. They really need to implement a proper stamina system.

I think the benefit of this is mostly when playing with another player and you are on a verge of tapping out. If you are near the ropes it is better to go with the rope break. Also adds realism which is cool to see back in.

I just noticed in one of the videos that the wrestler had the ability to crawl to the ropes while being in a submission. As I have not done much submissions in 2K22, I don't know if they have added it back in for 2K23 or it was in 2K22.

I think I read somewhere that the wrestler brings the attire they want to be scanned during model creation. Maybe Cody brought that attire, I may be wrong though.

I am ok with 2K using one announce team for all the shows but I do miss different commentators. My gripe with the old SVR Commentators is that they are just saying the same lines on all brands. Just different person doing it. And always saying Raw is better that Smackdown and vice versa. Don't forget the horrible recording of JBL. But I do want different in ring announcer for different arenas.

I noticed the dark haired sami too. Hope that is fixed in the final version. Or it is just the lighting.

Really hoping we get some great info later once the embargo has been lifted from the royal rumble event.

Billy Gunn will not be in the game since he is in AEW. That will be a long shot to have him there. Watched Cody's Entrance, the model looks good and I agree with others there is something missing and it feels the animation is too fast. I think the entrance is from the first iterations of the game since there is no nameplate and announcer, hoping they add smoke in the final version.

Deluxe for me since I collect physical, don't know when to preorder since retail stores here are not yet offering any.

Rhea's face looks much better in there than in 2k22.

If we are getting a Doctor of Thuganomics John Cena, I really hope we get Carlito since we are getting matches where Cena lost. I think there might be entrances in showcase mode. They showed Batista in Summerslam 2008 doing his entrance. Hopefully that is not just an exhibition match entrance.

For me I have no problem with Cody's return being advertised at the Rumble since it is already given he will be back during that event. He already did his surprise return in WrestleMania better to have it advertised for more people to tune in. As long as they don't advertise surprise entrants like Mickie James last year. I like watching the Rumble when you don't know who are going to show up. Last year they already announced 22 for Men and 21 for Women Rumble entrants. Unlike this year so far they have only announced 11 for Men and 4 for Women. And we are less than 2 weeks away from the Rumble. But we'll see the remaining RAW and SD if they will announce more.

This is why Smackdown is so much fun to watch Bloodline always deliver. And the way they did the popcorn skit during the tag team match was funny.

Watched AEW for the first time after almost 2 years just to see the new set. And felt meh. Don't know why but I like the old one better since it is a more distinct and signature look for them. The new set is just full of LED screens like WWE has which I hate. Red Velvet selling the move when it hasn't connected yet is sh*t. And yeah Joe losing to Darby is WTF....

Looks cool but why with Red and Blue. I wish they used the Dynamite colors. It looks like an ad for Survivor Series.

I don't think her firing was a bs reason. If it is true that Mattel is the reason for her firing, if I am in the same position as WWE I would choose Mattel than Mandy. Choosing from a wrestler and one of the largest toy company is an easy decision to make if you are in the business. I hate seeing Mandy go but if the rumors are true that WWE asked her to stop doing that stuff and she still continue posting, breach of contract is a Major offense in any company. I get people defending her since she was groomed from an eye candy to one of the longest Women's NXT Champ but any person who does a breach of contract is an automatic termination in any workplace. Like what happened to Earl Hebner.

If you look at the difference between the two images you could see they added the chair, fire extinguisher (Lower right) and Smoking trashcan (middle left) and the lantern with fireflies (upper left). Yes it is a stretch for Bray but having that added in the graphics for Seth and Matt for a fight pit match is kind of out of place since it should have been a cage they added in the background. Ronda and Liv should have that in their background since they are having an extreme rules match.

Really hate how the wrestlers look. Reminds me of wrestlers in WWE Battleground. Waiting for a proper screencap video of the game in action. BTW when will this game have a proper section in the forum? Beside WWE 2K and Wrestling Code.

Just read this and it made me smile like how Triple H does in his memes. Really glad Triple H is back as EVP, Talent Relations. Now give him NXT.

Lost my passion in watching weekly wrestling show since the start of the pandemic. But with what is happening in the Wrestling world this week, I'm getting curious on what will happen next and might start watching WWE/AEW weekly again. Can't wait for what Vince is going to say or announce on Smackdown later.
