i can't believe they are still adding gut kicks to animations........knowing that they made a whole system that requires you to do a strike combo before a grapple. so instead of this being a move you can do after 1 strike ur gonna hit the 1 strike the animation will play and u see a 2nd strike. THEN the grapple move. when you could've just had the Gut kick as the opening strike to start the 2 hit combo. the evidence that these ppl don't know what game tney are making is mounting to at least above a mole hill

playing a Royal Rumble really highlights the problem with the gameplay. in 2k19, and nearly every game before it...when you strike an opponent they stagger back. In a Royal Rumble match that allows the opponent to fall back into the ropes or the corner. Setting them up for elimination. Also you will fatigue and crawl around, or crawl to the seated corner position to rest. 2k22 doesn't have this. Because of the blasted combo system they removed complex A.I selling. Unless u are 1 inch away from the corner or rope, the opponent will not feed into a new position. in 2k19 you dropkick the opponent in a Royal Rumble, they stumble to the ropes, then you can hit them with a running clothesline to eliminate them. in 2k22 it doesn't matter what you hit them with. They will stay standing right in front of you. Because the A.I has to wait for you to complete a combo. and the Crawling and resting in a Royal Rumble is toned WAYYY down. in 2k19 once you get to the halfway point of the rumble, if you or the opponents have been in the ring for awhile they will crawl around. And/Or resting in the corner in 2k22 everyone is fresh as a daisy, even 30 mins into a Rumble. The only time you will rest under a rope or something is if you get "Stunned" This striking feature used to be so important in a Royal Rumble, that we could even assign our own Royal Rumble strikes in the SvR series. Now its completely removed Close Range strikes were tailor -made for Royal Rumbles. and they're gone

I like GM mode I just dont like this whole "hey wow u put on a banger card, but it doesn't matter and you lose for the week because your matchups weren't the specific heel/face or fighting classes combo that we like"

what it feels like reading that article "we've added another Payback slot" u mean ur readding what u removed "we are expanding the stamina system, we are a SIMULATION of WWE" no. WWE 2k19 was a Simulation of WWE. We had stamina and fatigue and realistic gameplay already. then u ruined it "we are changing the pin system" AGAIN???? Do we really need a 3rd pin system in a row?? Ppl were excited for button mashing to return, but then u mess that up by making it just 1 button. Nobody wanted to just press 1 button. We wanted the classic 2 finger button mashing we are all used to from back in the day. Did i not call it like 10 months ago, that they are just going to slowly try to turn this back into where it already was. Its gonna take them 5 games to make the game good again. And undo all the stuff the new producer *censored*ed up. Why make an arcade fighter, and then try to turn it back into a SIM wrestling game again? It makes no sense. Lean into what u are creating. Lean into the fighting, and combos and wackiness. Add juggling. exaggerated selling etc. These ppl have no clue what they are making The ppl working on the game half of them probably want this new arcade fighter gameplay, and the other half want classic realistic gameplay. And that would explain why the new gameplay feels like this.

well looks like they got rid of Righteous, but unfortunately they brought back Bryan Williams. Two birds of a feather. Two passionate die-hard fans that have no understanding of movesets. Righteous vs. Bryan Williams in a ruin WWE 2k23 movesets speed run

for the record u are allowed to like whatever you like. Im sure i like tons of games that ppl would say suck. that said. I reserve the right to think u are insane. And bemoan that my fave wrestling game has been turned into THIS. And instead of ppl revolting against it and forcing 2K to do something about it.......everyone just lets it happen. They got away with making 2k20. A glitchy buggy game that crashes a ton. They never fully fixed it. Its still broken to this day. And we let them do that. 2k22 stripped away most of the gameplay we know. They pumped the game full of the Ultimate Team/MYTEAM microtransactions mode. Added tons of locked wrestlers to the mode. and we let it happen. i've said it before. WWE 2k22 is not a bad game. Other then the bugs and other things they don't fix. If it was called WWE 2K: FIGHT NIGHT and had a different art style and models that weren't realistic. I might like it (except the terrible a.i). But instead of making a side game to implement this brand new gameplay they took an existing franchise. With name value. And stripped it of its parts and converted it into something different. That is sneaky and disingenous. Imagine u buy the Ghost of Tsushima sequel, and it doesn't play like the original game. But now all of a sudden it plays like Dynasty Warriors. And everyone was thrilled about it

theres plenty of facial animations.. the gameplay in the new trailer goes by pretty quick. but they are there if u watch it slowed down. Look at when Thunder Rosa lands on the tacks. And right after when Jericho chops Hangman against the railing. Even the ref. its def not as much as in WWE 2k. but its there

I can't believe how good the AEW game has been shaping up. We're really getting Darby being able to use his skateboard on a suicide dive, and the thumbtacks bounce on the ring mat during moves. incredible

just the 1 match i've seen of AEW FIght forever i can tell its more of a simulation than 2k22. I have no issue with the lockups here because they are trying to replicate No Mercy....and be a retro N64 style wrestling game. Its a new game that doesn't have history. where as 2k took maybe the best wrestling simulation game we've ever seen in 2k19, and took away all of the things that make it play like a wrestling game. Turned it into casual fighting game BS. I've played plenty of it and at least with default settings, there is no way to have a match that resembles real wrestling in that game. the match pacing, momentum, multiple finishers/signatures, actual selling (the opponent stays down), the non-reversal fest gameplay.....all screams No Mercy and sim wrestling to me.

color me impressed. the Omega vs. Cole gameplay sold me. This looks great.

Underworld I forgot how legit that movie was. Theirs a 4th one coming out this Spring. Kate Beckinsale's so slutty...She got her BF (Michael Sheen) a job in the first movie....Broke up w/ him...started hooking up w/ the director. It must be mad awkward on the set of those movies
