This game is fun but they could combine gm and universe mode. Plus Everytime I try to play my faction sometimes the game crash it's shutting me off sometimes I'm like trying to get the PS4 platinum trophy. Plus the controls are nice it was tough at first but easy.
I disagree with combining GM and Universe mode they just need to fine tune them more. If you could have cutscenes in universe mode and you could choose them that would be cool. And more championships on GM Mode.
It sounds like a twenty dollar game at most. They stripped down creation with the removal of advanced entrances and body type limits. Also, no new hair and the quality is atrocious for caws Personally I don't care about the WWE and roster, I've only played these games because of Creation. This game doesn't surpass previous games in light of that.
Agreed. 2k's constant lack of Creation suite is the biggest turnoff for me personally, it's one of the reasons I hate wwe games. TBH I like this game for a lot of reasons, but I kinda had higher hopes. I can say that I'm disappointed in myself for thinking that stupid. However if and it's a monumental if 2k ACTUALLY supports this game enough then my opinion *might* change.
Completely agree. While this game does do some new things and improves on a few others, the only parts I really care about got a massive downgrade. Even that aside, I personally don't think this game does anywhere near enough for a game that took a full year off to get its crap together. Everyone's saying it's so much better than 2k20. So what? A dumpster fire is better than that abomination. The real question is whether this is better than 2k19, and unfortunately the answer for me is "Hell no".
damn🙄 "fun" just frustrated me, health system is all messed up😂 i was full health when someone pinned me, and i had to mash the buttons like a maniac, but when i hit the other guy to a pulp to 1 percent and to where all his body parts are glowing red, and i pin him ohno he gets out of it😄 then the fun is fastly over. glad you enjoy it tho
Thanks for the insight. Unfortunately with the corners cut for this release and the lack of updates, specifically in the creative suite modes, I guess I'll live another year with 2k19 for another year and sit this one out.
Been really enjoying this game. MyRise is the best story/career mode in a long time. Winning title belts then not having them after a storyline is a bit jarring but I'm not really upset about it, just another quirk of video games I suppose.
They need to bring back old school unlockables. Like the retro triple h is a great idea… you can only unlock through my faction and once you do it’s now unlocked completely… not even micro transactions can unlock it, you’ll have to my my faction if you want exclusive unlocks… maybe they’ll do that next game… because that has potential. It’s more of a arcade simulation
Yeah but I don't think they won't try fixing it and why universe mode where they already have gm mode better yet instead of universe mode they could've brought back create a story mode and yes that is one mode I truly miss and 2K took out.
Wat sucks is the a.i takes damage and gets right back up also when a.i takes damage their body figure in upper right will be red but won't change any color after that
Well .. to be fair. Your human controlled wrestler can do the same thing too! Ai can perform finnishers on you and all you got to do is press all the buttons at once while your on the ground and your wrestler will jump back up like an ninja as if nothing happened.
13:48 The marketing was bad because they cound advertise stuff like the roster. This is because a lot of superstars are no longer in wwe, so they dont want to promote them by saying they are in the game "Hey, we have Jeff Hardy. He is great, come and buy the game and follow him"
I actually love the game, the problem I have is well GM Mode i give it a D the only reason I give it a D is because if you edit the roster and make everyone a specialist it’s actually quite enjoyable, however the lack of features really brings it down. The other problem I have is if you download anything more than 100 logos your game will crash for everything so I had to delete multiple CAW’s just to continue playing which sucks but will get fixed.
the game is pretty fun i enjoyed playing showcase matches for my universe mode however the creation suite and creation in general is a big take away i don't like being restricted in what i can do with my CAWs their move sets and their entrance
@@OG-512 I have no idea what this person is talking about because you literally have to choose what move you do for each combo and combo enders and there's a huge list of like all the wrestling moves lol I spent hours creating my perfect fighter
The game is very good,but only gripe I have is that the characters and alt attires in MyRise and MyFaction are now unlockable, yet we gotta pay $120 for NWO dlc.
When it works I really enjoy it, but I haven't be able to get online for several days now and it crashes when I try to change arenas or play universe mode at all
I really like the game overall. The only thing I'd say I don't like is the combo system. While I'm annoyed that the body slider and advanced entrance features have been removed, I'm not too bent out of shape about it. Also, they fixed a lot of broken moves from both 2K19 & 2K20. The animations look beautiful, I should add.
I really enjoy the new combo system as it allows for new moves. The old system is still viable as heavy attacks can be used as the old moving grapple attacks.
@@greattitan371 well... No. You see, the combo system only allows for a preset combination of button to be pressed ending in a move that you can pick. What I, and others in the community used to do was use the strong strikes and the different grapple combinations to make our own combos. Its hard to explain, but I basically mean, I could do more and change things up on my opponent. I was very proud that I'd rarely use the same move twice. Now... I kind of have to so I'm not nearly as unpredictable.
My personal verdict is, 100% yes. Sure it's got a few flaws. A few minor glitches I have noticed and such, but most games on their first release are bound to have them, and I'm sure eventually there'll be a patch for the game to fix them. Plus, they aren't *nearly* as bad as 2K20's. And yes, some missing things or unadded things are somewhat annoying and upsetting, but overall what it *does* have, and all the minor little details in the game are just so nice and fun. Personally, it's the most fun I've had with a WWE game in a while lately. So far a blast to go through. 8/10 for me! ^^
The reversal system is terrible. I’ve been playing wrestling games since I was a little boy. I’m 32 now. And this reversal system is pure trash no matter how skilled you are at the game. The AI is good as well just a little too over aggressive. Seems like you have to be in a rush for everything. But overall good game having fun with it
The Ugliest = GM Mode, biggest joke of a mode in years, only one on one and tag team matches with 5 maximum stipulations and only two titles.... If any of you want an actual booking game that GM Mode and the free to play wrestling booking games attempt but never deliver just go out and get Total Extreme Wrestling 2020. It sucks that one guy can do more then developers backed by big companies.
If you insist on buying it I would wait till you can get it used on eBay or at a GameStop for 20 bucks and even then I wouldn't recommend it. They needlessly mutilated the controls beyond recognition making even doing simple things like dragging your opponent while they are on the ground or doing a simple body slam or ddt an agonizing chore
@@mrcold8966 Thanks for the advice...I was on the fence on getting it because I am tired of playing 2k20 and thought 2k22 was at least somewhat better than last years version...
@@mrcold8966 man, I have not played wresting games since HCTP and I bought it Friday. It is not hard to drag opponents and the game even tells you how. Regardless if he buys the game or not you should take a second to actually play not just say regurgitate something you heard someone say
@@mrcold8966 dragging is fairly simple though, also you literally just have to hit the grapple button then press whatever button the move is set to to do bodyslams, or ddts, unless you're doing it in a combo. If pressing two buttons is an agonizing chore then maybe you shouldn't play games.
Anyone else having any glitches with my rise??…all the titles are vacant even after I won the U.S title and I keep doing the same stories over as if I never won the title…this game is fun but my rise is pissing me off to no end
I've had a bit more success with online than that, but yea, it's all going to depend on the times of day that you play/the servers working at those times. And you're right, it's easier to kick out in this game, I wish it would scale up a bit better to be harder to kick out later in the matches.
Im one thats honestly not satisfied with the game after 2 years i dont think i was asking for to much and the bad and ugly plus a few other things have just had me tight and im never one to comment on games but after this release i had to it has some good and fun thing but i feel like the focused on semi small things i just feel like we deserve better i say the game IS DIFFERENT IT DOES NOT HIT DIFFERENT 💯
As for someone who has yet to buy a WWE game since the change from SmackDown vs Raw, which of the WWE games since would be the best to give a shot? I enjoyed the hell out of the SvR series but couldnt stand when they switched it up aiming for the simulation type of gameplay. Suggestions and opinions are warmly wecomed
Absolutely love the game, now that I'm able to play it. At first I bought it for PC and it completely shit the bed, real bad, so bad that for the first time ever I got a refund from Steam (The crashing was horrible, the word horrible doesn't even do it justice). I repurchased it on my PS4 and am totally satisfied now, I got the warm fuzzies. Awesome game, not perfect, but what the hell is?
@Momo I took a pretty gnarly dump. One of those lip-biting, grab on to the edge of the sink and give it hell kinda dumps. All better. Your concern was touching.
This Game has crashed over 100 times atleast. Trying to go into universe mode, Crash. Quick match in the middle of it, crash, trying to create a tag team, crash, creating a show, crash. Just backing out of my rise, crash. Universe mode is 80% of the reason why I bought the game and it doesn't work. The only mode that hasn't crashed for me is showcase.
My GM mode is fun. But when you simulate match's, you should be able to pick who wins. I think its kinda dumb you can't. If you could pick who wins, that would be a game changer, and make it easier, to get good ratings.
@@ChampagneS4366 are you a special ed kid? Because you make no sense whatsoever it’s 2k19 with different controls and better graphics the only real downside is Kurt angle isn’t in the game
If they first and foremost release some sort of fix or option to swap the controls back to the old way I can overlook quite a lot of the other ugly bits. This is, above all else, a game. If PLAYING the game (having a match) isn’t going to be enjoyable it’s a complete waste of money. They might as well release it for $5 as an iPadOS game if it’s not going to meet modern standards.
I have not really played wwe games since HCTP and SVR days. Bought this game Friday and have loved it. I do wish there were more options in mygm for different match types ect. I don't want a full wrestling sim like 2k19 that seemed boring and much like current day wwe which is not for me. I grew up during the Monday night wars to ruthless aggression era so I my desire for wwe games is based on that
I literally played and the guy got off 10-15 moves all while reverse never poped up not once then when i finnaly grab or hit him they either reverse the first or second time every time then procced to pull off 10-15 Moves with no triangle poping up rinse and repeat
I cannot recall the last time I heard such positive feedback for a wrestling game. I've heard endless and repetitive complaints about WWE games since around Smackdown vs Raw 2010. I began purchasing WWE games annually beginning with WWF War Zone and I stopped after WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2009. After 2009 I've only been playing wrestling games every several years just because of how repetitive they've been. I bought WWE 2k20 because of how cheap it was (after a lot of the glitches were patched) and it was my first WWE game since WWE 2K16 (I only played it when it was temporarily free on Xbox Live on free play days in 2017) and 2K20 felt the same as 2K16 and 2K16 felt the same as 2K15 (another one I played for free on Xbox Live). WWE 2K22 definitely hits different just like their tagline which is something I've been craving for-- something that feels moderately different than the games from the past number of years. I think WWE 2K22 is up there with No Mercy and Here Comes The Pain. No Mercy was great as a N64 wrestling game and HCTP was great as a PS2 game. Of course you cannot lean against gaming standards from 20 years ago which is why I'm always against the "make it like No Mercy or HCTP" campaign. WWE 2K22 follows the WWE 2K trend yet it feels like the first of its kind and it is a great wrestling game that meets gaming standards in 2022. I'm afraid that WWE 2K23 will fall into the old trend of repetitive games with insignificant differences but let's just enjoy 2K22 while we have it.
You should've tried WWE 12' /13' those were more realistic you noooooo restrictions in weapon placement or anything,you had completely control of all your moves and suplex your opponent into any direction during the move. You could throw them into any weapon and they'd sale it,had ragdoll physics.
I don't get why...the game sucks...the gameplay is so annoying and inconsistent with many broken aspects...no chain wrestling, broken tag matches (yet again), submission system sucks, no improvements to Universe Mode, AI targeting is annoying, managers interfering and not being able to target them is annoying.... The graphics are really good, that's it... The gameplay is horrible and feels too much like an arcade game and not a wrestling game.
See this why we are subscribed to the movement and no I am not trying to kiss ass here but the main reason why we are subscribed or if not subscribed doesn't matter my point is that the movement can give us a review on wwe 2k22 then they explain why we should buy or not buy they are just giving us this information so we can rethink before actually buying wwe 2k22
I think it's overall a really solid game give it a 7/10 the combo system is a good idea but it does take a while to get used to, myGM was a let down and myFaction isn't great either imo (atm at least) but other than that they've now got a good enough game to use a base and build upon next year (if 2K still makes next years game) but if I was them for next year I'd focus on improving myGM massively, or merge it with Universe mode which sounds awesome, all in all focus on improving modes within the game rather than the gameplay which is pretty fun and actually challenging even against the A.I
Not to forget how glitchy it is, and how the servers were broken at launch and Still broken in MyFaction, I've yet to try out Universe Mode as I can't even get into the actual mode before the game closes, and before anyone asks/says I have 0 CAWS and 0 Images and tried reinstalling the game, Universe Mode is still broke for me anyway, others crash in the menus and mid matches, so 2 modes right of the bat you can't even play properly, GmMode is too limited and basic, MyRise is the only one that's got potential out of the whole game, the gameplay is decent but it definitely needs fixing up alot, they release an update just to break things in modes, what a waste of an update
Maybe it is your system or internet. I have been playing on ps5 and do have fiber internet. I downloaded about 20 wrestlers so far and played a lot with only crashing once.
@@mr.ohiostate2544 nothing wrong with the system at all and the internet is perfectly fine, it's happening to alot of players, I'm also playing it on the ps5 with the ps5 version of the game, it was working before the 1.05 update other than getting on the online servers, I can now but everything else doesn't seem to work since the last patch update that's happening with alot of people
@@littlemiller221 dang. I bought the game it was already onnpatch 1.05 or whatever so I did not experience anything before that. Hopefully it gets worked out out soon for ya
@@mr.ohiostate2544 yeah it sucks, everything was working fine before that patch now everything's broke haha, the devs have said theirs a patch coming soon so hopefully that'll sort everything out for everyone but it is 2K haha
Cross platform creations was in 2k19 later in the games life cycle I want rope Physics OMG moments like barricade breaker Apron DDT suicide dives ect New weapons like Guitar ring bell crutch Drink ect that would make extreme rules matches more interesting and lastly My gm having mid card and tag championships like intercontinental United States and North American and raw SD NXT and NXT UK tag championships.
@@TheMovementXx I can't play universe mode whatsoever and any time it goes onto roster game crashes and any community creation crashes my game I basically can only play showcase mode and myrise everything else crashes
You mean those things that you can spend real life money on that give you no competitive advantage in any multiplayer mode? Yea, I'm indifferent on those, don't think they're good, bad, or ugly. If you want to buy them, I see no issue with an adult choosing to spend their own earned money on that product if it brings them happiness or joy.
What's also a problem is the universe mode in 2K22 I never played the universe mode but I have been playing other matches and the myrise and showcase mode but never universe mode. GM I won't play it yet because I'm gonna play it on SVR 2007 so... I'm gonna wait for GM mode... But the game... it's ok... But a lot of lackluster though there's a lot 2K needs to fix like the universe mode and don't get me wrong I'd prefer create a story mode than universe mode like has anyone realized it yet I know I have and If 2K was gonna have an issue with universe mode then they should have put create a story mode. So all I can say is for 2K Fix a few bugs and don't make it like 2K20.
THE BAD: In regards to Universe Mode, it's annoying that people complain about it being the same, while you're literally suggesting absolutely nothing new... It's a sandbox, you can literally do whatever you want there, you have freedom to manipulate rosters, rivalries, champions, championships, shows, etc. to your liking... How do you improve YOUR freedom? Stop complaining without making suggestions!
My preference is simulation. I’m more of a solo player. If they would’ve left a lot of features from 19 and made reversal limit meter also 19 controls optional. Overall not a bad game.
Marketing? WTF is wrong w/ u guys? How about the constant crashing, servers issue & the overall IDGAF from 2K once they ur money. How r we supposed 2 take this as a serious review?
We have personally had ZERO issues with crashing and the server issues are no worse than any previous WWE Game at launch, in fact, we actually find them to be better, as mentioned in the review. You're entitled to your opinions, as are we.
It's only wwe 2k15 all over again. I liked 20 better. Had more I could do. Really have to work to do have the stuff u use to do on 20. U hit a finisher and the opponents get right back up.. I'm over it
I wouldnt recommend it because the community is very toxic when you play online you will see cheaters, teamers, idiots making fun of you or laughing at you, using cheating tactics. The blocking and controlls are garbage and complicated, it takes minutes to load into an online match, the wwe2012 game was better than the newer ones because of easy controlls
Let's start with truths! Loading times are awful, My rise is full of long boring loading! Online you get long loading, bad servers and unstable!! Create suite is Very slow when moving around!! Also Upload is BROKEN! They either disappear or don't appear at all. Faction mode is a headache of a grind for very little awards! Gm mode is Great but short. Controls are great, but yes missed strikes, reversal slow at times to work etc. Graphics are Ok. Not much new at all actually, no new match types, creation stuff etc. Its just been glossed up too look better.
The pricing model is pretty ugly, as well, I'd say. :D But in all seriousness, I was so much on the fence about the gameplay that I did something I haven't done in over a decade or so: play a pirated game.* Since the full game is mighty expensive and no one release a Demo anymore, I kinda had to. I spent a day with it, uninstalled and won't buy in the near future, I think. I just can't get over the fact they went almost full arcade with this.The combo mechanics really don't vibe with me for a wrestling simulation. Having four buttons to counter/doge attacks is too much as it bring confusion at times. No tie-up and chain wrestling mingame to begin matches so now EVERY match is jumpstarted. No restholds or other ways, really, to slow down a match. No Stamina management, and, and and... It's just back and forth, high octane BANG BANG BANG all the time. I just wish someone would care to make a wrestling simulation. I guess "The Wrestling Code" is my best bet, then. Virtual Basement seem to care about that. As an offline, singleplayer person, I'll stick to 2k19, kinda have to, and maybe delve into the modding scene. *please, if you like game, buy it.
Delete all community creations download wrestlers nd go to community creations than image manager than delete all community creation data. Than universe mode will work fine
I dont care about pay to win bs I grew up wanting to be a wrestler I'm a 90s-00 fan. I only really care about caw and the story mode that goes with that. Not big into online wrestling or gm mode because to me it's kinda lame just making shows and not really getting into the story of what's happening. I guess Austin left (the first time) so did i.....aew should make a game
2K22 imo is currently the best 2K out there in terms of gameplay,visuals,content,and despite some major downgrades creation suite still gives me the necessary tools needed to create the universe mode I want... Universe mode has become my go to game mode in almost every 2K game because of the freedom to relive almost any era in not only WWE but in pro wrestling period...Whether it be the territorial days of Jim Crockett promotions,the rise of Extreme in ECW or the invasion of the nWo in WCW which has been much easier to duplicate thanks to the nWo 4life bundle...2K butchered the variety of body types in creation suite but that can be forgiven considering 2K does listen to it's community and will take feedback like missing advanced custom entrances and limited body options very seriously... The controls however takes the W for this game with me... I didn't like it at first because certain moves didn't belong to certain wrestlers but once I got the hang of it I can edit and pull off any move I want with no problems... I also kinda disagree with the simulation feel...yes the combos makes the matches seem more indie fast paced wrestling than textbook style vs style storytelling wrestling that I'm used to but I'd be lying if I said I don't find the difficulties and challenges in Myfaction exciting and satisfying...Almost every match I've had in that mode has resulted in a 5 star match rating due to my love of playing on the hardest difficulty and with no readjustments to the sliders mind you...Getting a win on the legendary difficulty and leveling up your faction also the feeling of grinding for the rewards you earn for every hard fought match not only brings replay value for Myfaction but it really becomes addictive when it challenges the gamer inside of you with the new pace of a match... I haven't played Myrise yet but I've been hearing nothing but praises about it so that's reassuring for me when I try it... The biggest test in 2K for me will be trying to look into MyGM mode as it's own new thing by 2K and not to expect it be anything like THQ's interpretation of it...I knew from the start that 2K version will be nothing like SvR 06's,07's,or 08's so I'm not at all disappointed with how they did MyGM... Hopefully they will improve on it and make it into the successor it's supposed to be just don't take out anything we learned to love for it... Sound is great in almost all aspects,I still feel commentary isn't as legit as it is on live TV but that's really my only complaint with the audio...fans, weapon shots,grunts,and slams all sounds fantastic... Overall however 7.5 is the best rating this game can do...it shows shades of 2K15 when it comes to what we expected and what we got...But we gotta remember 2K15 crawled so 2K19 could fly🕊️ I'm confident the same will happen for 2K22 and every 2K game after it...But in the mean time,I will enjoy looking into everything 2K22 has to offer because they really nailed the fresh new feel aspect of the game...It really does HIT DIFFERENT
This game is fun but they could combine gm and universe mode. Plus Everytime I try to play my faction sometimes the game crash it's shutting me off sometimes I'm like trying to get the PS4 platinum trophy. Plus the controls are nice it was tough at first but easy.
@Captain Confuse-Ma create a story could've been in the game instead of universe mode like do we even need that mode?
Nooo, because this makes too much sense.
What a perfect Idea
In my opinion it’s kinda a shame that it crashes since they had two years to develope it
I disagree with combining GM and Universe mode they just need to fine tune them more. If you could have cutscenes in universe mode and you could choose them that would be cool. And more championships on GM Mode.
It sounds like a twenty dollar game at most. They stripped down creation with the removal of advanced entrances and body type limits. Also, no new hair and the quality is atrocious for caws
Personally I don't care about the WWE and roster, I've only played these games because of Creation. This game doesn't surpass previous games in light of that.
The creation suite is horrible and CAWs look like garbage
Same goes for me, I hope someone will do something with the openness of 3dwr but developed well
Agreed. 2k's constant lack of Creation suite is the biggest turnoff for me personally, it's one of the reasons I hate wwe games.

A dumpster fire is better than that abomination. The real question is whether this is better than 2k19, and unfortunately the answer for me is "Hell no".
Ok. You go and make a better game then
This is the most fun I've had with a WWE game since THQ was still at the helm
damn🙄 "fun" just frustrated me, health system is all messed up😂 i was full health when someone pinned me, and i had to mash the buttons like a maniac, but when i hit the other guy to a pulp to 1 percent and to where all his body parts are glowing red, and i pin him ohno he gets out of it😄 then the fun is fastly over. glad you enjoy it tho

Damnnn u really missing out bro
☝
Nah it’s not that good, to repetitive
Unfortunately they're making us buy this game with 19 now shut down 😔
@@rashard_ thats exactly what I said.. they forced us to buy this game by shutting down the servers. 2k19 controls and roster were much better IMO
Been really enjoying this game. MyRise is the best story/career mode in a long time. Winning title belts then not having them after a storyline is a bit jarring but I'm not really upset about it, just another quirk of video games I suppose.
They need to bring back old school unlockables. Like the retro triple h is a great idea… you can only unlock through my faction and once you do it’s now unlocked completely… not even micro transactions can unlock it, you’ll have to my my faction if you want exclusive unlocks… maybe they’ll do that next game… because that has potential. It’s more of a arcade simulation
There are currently some broken moves in 2k22.
One example I found is "The Litasault" it does not work at all.
I do love the gameplay only thing that i hate most is the Universe mode crash bug that really needs a patch
Yeah but I don't think they won't try fixing it and why universe mode where they already have gm mode better yet instead of universe mode they could've brought back create a story mode and yes that is one mode I truly miss and 2K took out.

13:48 The marketing was bad because they cound advertise stuff like the roster. This is because a lot of superstars are no longer in wwe, so they dont want to promote them by saying they are in the game
"Hey, we have Jeff Hardy. He is great, come and buy the game and follow him"
Game is fun af but crashes all the time on universe mode, the other modes are working fine for now, hope they fix the crashes soon
I actually love the game, the problem I have is well GM Mode i give it a D the only reason I give it a D is because if you edit the roster and make everyone a specialist it’s actually quite enjoyable, however the lack of features really brings it down. The other problem I have is if you download anything more than 100 logos your game will crash for everything so I had to delete multiple CAW’s just to continue playing which sucks but will get fixed.

how is it fun when u make every1 specialist?wat kind of fun is it
There’s no excuse for them to be missing anything. They had almost 3 years to complete this game
the game is pretty fun i enjoyed playing showcase matches for my universe mode
however the creation suite and creation in general is a big take away
i don't like being restricted in what i can do with my CAWs their move sets and their entrance

I appreciate the review. You articulate the highs and lows very well.
The freaking Crashes. The game crashes like every 20 minutes.
My personal verdict is, 100% yes.
Sure it's got a few flaws. A few minor glitches I have noticed and such, but most games on their first release are bound to have them, and I'm sure eventually there'll be a patch for the game to fix them. Plus, they aren't *nearly* as bad as 2K20's. And yes, some missing things or unadded things are somewhat annoying and upsetting, but overall what it *does* have, and all the minor little details in the game are just so nice and fun. Personally, it's the most fun I've had with a WWE game in a while lately. So far a blast to go through. 8/10 for me! ^^
The reversal system is terrible. I’ve been playing wrestling games since I was a little boy. I’m 32 now. And this reversal system is pure trash no matter how skilled you are at the game. The AI is good as well just a little too over aggressive. Seems like you have to be in a rush for everything. But overall good game having fun with it
The Ugliest = GM Mode, biggest joke of a mode in years, only one on one and tag team matches with 5 maximum stipulations and only two titles.... If any of you want an actual booking game that GM Mode and the free to play wrestling booking games attempt but never deliver just go out and get Total Extreme Wrestling 2020. It sucks that one guy can do more then developers backed by big companies.
I'm surprised he didn't mention the limitations of MyGM mode.
I think I'm going to wait when it goes on sale. I know those who have the game either love it or think it's trash so that is what I'm doing...
If you insist on buying it I would wait till you can get it used on eBay or at a GameStop for 20 bucks and even then I wouldn't recommend it. They needlessly mutilated the controls beyond recognition making even doing simple things like dragging your opponent while they are on the ground or doing a simple body slam or ddt an agonizing chore
@@mrcold8966 Thanks for the advice...I was on the fence on getting it because I am tired of playing 2k20 and thought 2k22 was at least somewhat better than last years version...
@@mrcold8966 man, I have not played wresting games since HCTP and I bought it Friday. It is not hard to drag opponents and the game even tells you how. Regardless if he buys the game or not you should take a second to actually play not just say regurgitate something you heard someone say
@@mrcold8966 Dragging is extremely easy in the game.
@@mrcold8966 dragging is fairly simple though, also you literally just have to hit the grapple button then press whatever button the move is set to to do bodyslams, or ddts, unless you're doing it in a combo. If pressing two buttons is an agonizing chore then maybe you shouldn't play games.
Anyone else having any glitches with my rise??…all the titles are vacant even after I won the U.S title and I keep doing the same stories over as if I never won the title…this game is fun but my rise is pissing me off to no end
The only BAD is that there are a lot lot lot moves wich are irreversible !!! I love the game but it make it unplayable !! Are they gonna fix that ?
Online doesn't load 60% of time and It's incredibly hard to pin online players. I still recommend buying the game cause it's really fun anyway.
I've had a bit more success with online than that, but yea, it's all going to depend on the times of day that you play/the servers working at those times. And you're right, it's easier to kick out in this game, I wish it would scale up a bit better to be harder to kick out later in the matches.
Im one thats honestly not satisfied with the game after 2 years i dont think i was asking for to much and the bad and ugly plus a few other things have just had me tight and im never one to comment on games but after this release i had to it has some good and fun thing but i feel like the focused on semi small things i just feel like we deserve better i say the game IS DIFFERENT IT DOES NOT HIT DIFFERENT 💯
It was worth it the first 3 days but the patch just crashes the game constantly
I feel for the people having crashes, personally need had any issues with that myself.
Also no mid titles or tag team titles in my gm mode 😤
Once they sort out the game as in why it keeps crashing. Then its worth buying
I just wish:
1. MyFaction had an ending
2. MITB was able to be used mid-match
3. You could change wwe superstars' hair and beards
As for someone who has yet to buy a WWE game since the change from SmackDown vs Raw, which of the WWE games since would be the best to give a shot? I enjoyed the hell out of the SvR series but couldnt stand when they switched it up aiming for the simulation type of gameplay.
Suggestions and opinions are warmly wecomed
Recommend getting wwe2012 smackdown vs raw you can only play solo. Online free for 7days but nobody plays it anymore
Retro triple h looks like he's wearing a little toy belt
The game play reminded me of 'WWE Smackdown VS Raw 2011.' Is it as fun as that game?
Absolutely love the game, now that I'm able to play it. At first I bought it for PC and it completely shit the bed, real bad, so bad that for the first time ever I got a refund from Steam (The crashing was horrible, the word horrible doesn't even do it justice). I repurchased it on my PS4 and am totally satisfied now, I got the warm fuzzies. Awesome game, not perfect, but what the hell is?
@Momo I took a pretty gnarly dump. One of those lip-biting, grab on to the edge of the sink and give it hell kinda dumps. All better. Your concern was touching.
This Game has crashed over 100 times atleast. Trying to go into universe mode, Crash. Quick match in the middle of it, crash, trying to create a tag team, crash, creating a show, crash. Just backing out of my rise, crash. Universe mode is 80% of the reason why I bought the game and it doesn't work. The only mode that hasn't crashed for me is showcase.
My GM mode is fun. But when you simulate match's, you should be able to pick who wins. I think its kinda dumb you can't. If you could pick who wins, that would be a game changer, and make it easier, to get good ratings.
The game has been ripped apart and built from the ground up. It’s just too bad they ripped apart a bmw and built a Kia.
@@ChampagneS4366 are you a special ed kid? Because you make no sense whatsoever it’s 2k19 with different controls and better graphics the only real downside is Kurt angle isn’t in the game
@@YeeY5 mark 😂🤡
The answer is: Yes. BUT if they change the fact that you can have multiple match types and titles in MyGM.
That would make it 10/10. It is AWESOME
If they first and foremost release some sort of fix or option to swap the controls back to the old way I can overlook quite a lot of the other ugly bits. This is, above all else, a game. If PLAYING the game (having a match) isn’t going to be enjoyable it’s a complete waste of money. They might as well release it for $5 as an iPadOS game if it’s not going to meet modern standards.
I wonder why Michaels and hunter's hairs looks so terribly
Graphics is good, but not great......unless they decided to add ray tracing
Can someone explain to me wtf is going on with the wrestlers titantron video? Where's Austin , mankind and X-pac for starters..
I have not really played wwe games since HCTP and SVR days. Bought this game Friday and have loved it. I do wish there were more options in mygm for different match types ect. I don't want a full wrestling sim like 2k19 that seemed boring and much like current day wwe which is not for me. I grew up during the Monday night wars to ruthless aggression era so I my desire for wwe games is based on that
I literally played and the guy got off 10-15 moves all while reverse never poped up not once then when i finnaly grab or hit him they either reverse the first or second time every time then procced to pull off 10-15
Moves with no triangle poping up rinse and repeat
Too much cc images and the game becomes unplayable
I cannot recall the last time I heard such positive feedback for a wrestling game. I've heard endless and repetitive complaints about WWE games since around Smackdown vs Raw 2010. I began purchasing WWE games annually beginning with WWF War Zone and I stopped after WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2009. After 2009 I've only been playing wrestling games every several years just because of how repetitive they've been. I bought WWE 2k20 because of how cheap it was (after a lot of the glitches were patched) and it was my first WWE game since WWE 2K16 (I only played it when it was temporarily free on Xbox Live on free play days in 2017) and 2K20 felt the same as 2K16 and 2K16 felt the same as 2K15 (another one I played for free on Xbox Live).
WWE 2K22 definitely hits different just like their tagline which is something I've been craving for-- something that feels moderately different than the games from the past number of years. I think WWE 2K22 is up there with No Mercy and Here Comes The Pain. No Mercy was great as a N64 wrestling game and HCTP was great as a PS2 game. Of course you cannot lean against gaming standards from 20 years ago which is why I'm always against the "make it like No Mercy or HCTP" campaign. WWE 2K22 follows the WWE 2K trend yet it feels like the first of its kind and it is a great wrestling game that meets gaming standards in 2022. I'm afraid that WWE 2K23 will fall into the old trend of repetitive games with insignificant differences but let's just enjoy 2K22 while we have it.
You should've tried WWE 12' /13' those were more realistic you noooooo restrictions in weapon placement or anything,you had completely control of all your moves and suplex your opponent into any direction during the move.
You could throw them into any weapon and they'd sale it,had ragdoll physics.
I don't get why...the game sucks...the gameplay is so annoying and inconsistent with many broken aspects...no chain wrestling, broken tag matches (yet again), submission system sucks, no improvements to Universe Mode, AI targeting is annoying, managers interfering and not being able to target them is annoying....
The graphics are really good, that's it... The gameplay is horrible and feels too much like an arcade game and not a wrestling game.
@@ToxicAvengerCleanYourMind all paid fake reviews shills man. This game is 1/10 the 1 for graphics and camera cuts being the only positive
This is the most fun Ive had with a wrestling game since WWE 13 and 2K14. 19 was pretty fun but man this game plays so much better for me.
See this why we are subscribed to the movement and no I am not trying to kiss ass here but the main reason why we are subscribed or if not subscribed doesn't matter my point is that the movement can give us a review on wwe 2k22 then they explain why we should buy or not buy they are just giving us this information so we can rethink before actually buying wwe 2k22
Your voice reminds me of GradeAunderA, is this your second channel? 😂
Attacks that shouldve hit but didnt are the only frustrating thing here.
Why can't I do a fatal four way tag title match?
I think it's overall a really solid game give it a 7/10
the combo system is a good idea but it does take a while to get used to, myGM was a let down and myFaction isn't great either imo (atm at least) but other than that they've now got a good enough game to use a base and build upon next year (if 2K still makes next years game) but if I was them for next year I'd focus on improving myGM massively, or merge it with Universe mode which sounds awesome, all in all focus on improving modes within the game rather than the gameplay which is pretty fun and actually challenging even against the A.I
Game soo laggy
Universe mode is another letdown and Creation is awful. Other than that I agree 7/10.
Gameplay ain’t bad tbh. What sucks are the game’s servers to me.
My game keeps crashing. I’m not going to play it until they give us patch 1.06. PS5
Not to forget how glitchy it is, and how the servers were broken at launch and Still broken in MyFaction, I've yet to try out Universe Mode as I can't even get into the actual mode before the game closes, and before anyone asks/says I have 0 CAWS and 0 Images and tried reinstalling the game, Universe Mode is still broke for me anyway, others crash in the menus and mid matches, so 2 modes right of the bat you can't even play properly, GmMode is too limited and basic, MyRise is the only one that's got potential out of the whole game, the gameplay is decent but it definitely needs fixing up alot, they release an update just to break things in modes, what a waste of an update
Maybe it is your system or internet. I have been playing on ps5 and do have fiber internet. I downloaded about 20 wrestlers so far and played a lot with only crashing once.
@@mr.ohiostate2544 nothing wrong with the system at all and the internet is perfectly fine, it's happening to alot of players, I'm also playing it on the ps5 with the ps5 version of the game, it was working before the 1.05 update other than getting on the online servers, I can now but everything else doesn't seem to work since the last patch update that's happening with alot of people
@@littlemiller221 dang. I bought the game it was already onnpatch 1.05 or whatever so I did not experience anything before that. Hopefully it gets worked out out soon for ya
@@mr.ohiostate2544 yeah it sucks, everything was working fine before that patch now everything's broke haha, the devs have said theirs a patch coming soon so hopefully that'll sort everything out for everyone but it is 2K haha
Cross platform creations was in 2k19 later in the games life cycle I want rope Physics OMG moments like barricade breaker Apron DDT suicide dives ect New weapons like Guitar ring bell crutch Drink ect that would make extreme rules matches more interesting and lastly My gm having mid card and tag championships like intercontinental United States and North American and raw SD NXT and NXT UK tag championships.
Wwe2k22 is one of the best 2k games along with 2k14 and 2k19
I'm considering getting money back for game as its unplayable for me
What issues are you having with the game?
@@TheMovementXx I can't play universe mode whatsoever and any time it goes onto roster game crashes and any community creation crashes my game I basically can only play showcase mode and myrise everything else crashes
The hair still looks bad in these games.
You forgot how bad the hit detection is sometimes
Need some top deadmatch wrestlers GCW CZW ECW and also top belts and arenas
can u make a new one just the same but I think there is new idk am new here so idk if u already done that
You forgot the microtransactions.
You mean those things that you can spend real life money on that give you no competitive advantage in any multiplayer mode? Yea, I'm indifferent on those, don't think they're good, bad, or ugly. If you want to buy them, I see no issue with an adult choosing to spend their own earned money on that product if it brings them happiness or joy.
What's also a problem is the universe mode in 2K22 I never played the universe mode but I have been playing other matches and the myrise and showcase mode but never universe mode. GM I won't play it yet because I'm gonna play it on SVR 2007
so... I'm gonna wait for GM mode...
But the game...
it's ok...
But a lot of lackluster though there's a lot 2K needs to fix like the universe mode and don't get me wrong I'd prefer create a story mode than universe mode like has anyone realized it yet I know I have and If 2K was gonna have an issue with universe mode then they should have put create a story mode.
So all I can say is for 2K
Fix a few bugs and don't make it like 2K20.
The bad definitely is u cant change the difficulty & u only get 2 belts in my gm mode & the fact u only get 4 different typs of machies
you can change the difficulty
THE BAD: In regards to Universe Mode, it's annoying that people complain about it being the same, while you're literally suggesting absolutely nothing new... It's a sandbox, you can literally do whatever you want there, you have freedom to manipulate rosters, rivalries, champions, championships, shows, etc. to your liking... How do you improve YOUR freedom? Stop complaining without making suggestions!
My preference is simulation. I’m more of a solo player. If they would’ve left a lot of features from 19 and made reversal limit meter also 19 controls optional. Overall not a bad game.
I never use combos. It seems to fight gamey
Graphics are better than 20. BEST graphics? Debatable.
100% a debatable point, no arguments from me on that. Which game do you think had the best graphics?
@@TheMovementXx Between the two, 15. At least in the facials.
@@CadillacL 22 is better tho
@@Killer_Kool7 game play sure.
My main gripe is hair. 🤷🏻♂️
Rest in peace Razor Ramon
All ur uploads disappear occasionally the cc is bugged as well
Marketing? WTF is wrong w/ u guys? How about the constant crashing, servers issue & the overall IDGAF from 2K once they ur money. How r we supposed 2 take this as a serious review?
We have personally had ZERO issues with crashing and the server issues are no worse than any previous WWE Game at launch, in fact, we actually find them to be better, as mentioned in the review. You're entitled to your opinions, as are we.
Laggy I've had everything reset so I had to do everything from scratch again I have slow-motion glitch
It's only wwe 2k15 all over again. I liked 20 better. Had more I could do. Really have to work to do have the stuff u use to do on 20. U hit a finisher and the opponents get right back up.. I'm over it
The mechanics are slipping, hope they patch them up
I wouldnt recommend it because the community is very toxic when you play online you will see cheaters, teamers, idiots making fun of you or laughing at you, using cheating tactics. The blocking and controlls are garbage and complicated, it takes minutes to load into an online match, the wwe2012 game was better than the newer ones because of easy controlls
"smartest A.I." yeah okay sure bud lol
Let's start with truths! Loading times are awful, My rise is full of long boring loading! Online you get long loading, bad servers and unstable!! Create suite is Very slow when moving around!! Also Upload is BROKEN! They either disappear or don't appear at all. Faction mode is a headache of a grind for very little awards! Gm mode is Great but short. Controls are great, but yes missed strikes, reversal slow at times to work etc. Graphics are Ok. Not much new at all actually, no new match types, creation stuff etc. Its just been glossed up too look better.
The ps4 version is plagued with bugs .
The pricing model is pretty ugly, as well, I'd say. :D
But in all seriousness, I was so much on the fence about the gameplay that I did something I haven't done in over a decade or so: play a pirated game.* Since the full game is mighty expensive and no one release a Demo anymore, I kinda had to.
I spent a day with it, uninstalled and won't buy in the near future, I think. I just can't get over the fact they went almost full arcade with this.The combo mechanics really don't vibe with me for a wrestling simulation. Having four buttons to counter/doge attacks is too much as it bring confusion at times. No tie-up and chain wrestling mingame to begin matches so now EVERY match is jumpstarted. No restholds or other ways, really, to slow down a match. No Stamina management, and, and and...
It's just back and forth, high octane BANG BANG BANG all the time. I just wish someone would care to make a wrestling simulation. I guess "The Wrestling Code" is my best bet, then. Virtual Basement seem to care about that.
As an offline, singleplayer person, I'll stick to 2k19, kinda have to, and maybe delve into the modding scene.
*please, if you like game, buy it.
It crashes on ps5 a lot
I don't understand my faction so I skip that and play my rise I like my rise better my faction don't gain nothing.
I downloaded retro HHH from CC
2k20, is actually not that bad on PC. And my PC can BARLY run 2k22. So 2k22, kinda runs the same, as 2k20, on my computer.
HOW TF DO YOU GUYS LIKE THIS GAME
I can't play universe mode
Delete all community creations download wrestlers nd go to community creations than image manager than delete all community creation data. Than universe mode will work fine
Combos needs to be removed
I dont care about pay to win bs I grew up wanting to be a wrestler I'm a 90s-00 fan. I only really care about caw and the story mode that goes with that. Not big into online wrestling or gm mode because to me it's kinda lame just making shows and not really getting into the story of what's happening. I guess Austin left (the first time) so did i.....aew should make a game
How about AEW game that would be great to see
I just hope it is fun and will still be supported for more than one year (unlike 2K). Screw 2K
It’s a good game I hate the control systems
Lmao he says nothing about the crashing bugs !! Totally shows he is payed by 2k.
Don’t forget glitches bugs and crashes for bad
Not had any issues with any of that personally, so can't comment on it for our review.
@@TheMovementXx oh okay I understand. Well that’s a good thing I hope they drop a patch soon
GM Mode gets boring really fast
2K22 imo is currently the best 2K out there in terms of gameplay,visuals,content,and despite some major downgrades creation suite still gives me the necessary tools needed to create the universe mode I want...
Universe mode has become my go to game mode in almost every 2K game because of the freedom to relive almost any era in not only WWE but in pro wrestling period...Whether it be the territorial days of Jim Crockett promotions,the rise of Extreme in ECW or the invasion of the nWo in WCW which has been much easier to duplicate thanks to the nWo 4life bundle...2K butchered the variety of body types in creation suite but that can be forgiven considering 2K does listen to it's community and will take feedback like missing advanced custom entrances and limited body options very seriously...
The controls however takes the W for this game with me... I didn't like it at first because certain moves didn't belong to certain wrestlers but once I got the hang of it I can edit and pull off any move I want with no problems...
I also kinda disagree with the simulation feel...yes the combos makes the matches seem more indie fast paced wrestling than textbook style vs style storytelling wrestling that I'm used to but I'd be lying if I said I don't find the difficulties and challenges in Myfaction exciting and satisfying...Almost every match I've had in that mode has resulted in a 5 star match rating due to my love of playing on the hardest difficulty and with no readjustments to the sliders mind you...Getting a win on the legendary difficulty and leveling up your faction also the feeling of grinding for the rewards you earn for every hard fought match not only brings replay value for Myfaction but it really becomes addictive when it challenges the gamer inside of you with the new pace of a match...
I haven't played Myrise yet but I've been hearing nothing but praises about it so that's reassuring for me when I try it...
The biggest test in 2K for me will be trying to look into MyGM mode as it's own new thing by 2K and not to expect it be anything like THQ's interpretation of it...I knew from the start that 2K version will be nothing like SvR 06's,07's,or 08's so I'm not at all disappointed with how they did MyGM... Hopefully they will improve on it and make it into the successor it's supposed to be just don't take out anything we learned to love for it...
Sound is great in almost all aspects,I still feel commentary isn't as legit as it is on live TV but that's really my only complaint with the audio...fans, weapon shots,grunts,and slams all sounds fantastic...
Overall however 7.5 is the best rating this game can do...it shows shades of 2K15 when it comes to what we expected and what we got...But we gotta remember 2K15 crawled so 2K19 could fly🕊️
I'm confident the same will happen for 2K22 and every 2K game after it...But in the mean time,I will enjoy looking into everything 2K22 has to offer because they really nailed the fresh new feel aspect of the game...It really does HIT DIFFERENT
Match making kinda sucks and it takes forever to get full matches.
The AI is smart? Good joke
