WWE 2K22 Review

- Опубліковано 9 бер 2022
- WWE 2K22 is a tremendous leap leap forward compared to 2K20. The action is faster, more pick-up-and-play friendly, the roster of 160+ wrestlers has never looked better, and the addition of MyGM mode rounds out a well rounded offering of modes for just about every type of wrestling fan.

This is a perfect example why both 2K and EA should skip years and NOT release every year. Give these franchises room to truly grow. WWE2K22 is excellent!
Exactly
2k20 was completely broken.
madden, 2k, fifa all work fine and don't need a an extra year of development
@@bigbadslimee On Pc wwe2k22 is broken like 2k20....shitty gamne closes and all of gameplay is gone 👍
@@bullbeergaming must be a personal problem cos no one else had reported this
💯💯
Looks like a solid game, just want to put this out there for folks. If you don't like the MyFaction mode and the microtransactions. Make sure to not drop any money into it otherwise they'll get more aggressive with it next year or worse spread it into the actual game itself. Also if you get selected for a survey with 2k, please voice your opinion loudly about it. Other than that, have fun folks.
Wish people could realize this I've been saying this for years. I've never spent a dime on microtransactions idk what's so enticing about them. They cost more then some games and give u basically nothing 🤷.
the mode just need a online mode
You can't stop change.
@@jacobrose8401 You can if you don't support it if everyone would just wise up and stop buying into anti consumer business practices gaming would be better.
Louder for those in the back
Probably won't happen but they should probably start doing these games like they do UFC games, like once every 2.5-3 years.
Exactly
That last UFC game was not much of an improvement over UFC 3 though. Pretty much the same game with some roster changes. I'm fine with a 2 to 3 year cycle but only intend to buy if there is a marked improvement.
@@transamdude95 very true !
That would honestly be great....but its 2K sadly. They always have to put a game out every year, which has evolved into yearly games that are pretty much the same from each other. WWE 2K games will follow suit with the NBA games
The best choice would be to have 2 or 3 studios making the WWE games so there's still an annual game but the devs have the needed time to develope the games.
Game is solid, thought the gameplay changes would be a step backwards but game is fun and fluid.
It's a shame ppl have settled with mediocrity nowadays.
@@OfficialGobbledyGooker the game is fun, but continue being miserable brother 💀
Yeah the gameplay feels too archaic but it's fun
@@OfficialGobbledyGooker
Man the game is fun as hell get that hate out your heart
Agreed
Time for me to get back into this series after many years away
Amen
Me too.. Haven’t played heavily since SVR
@@jonathanmartin1168 no joke....I haven't played a wrestling game since SvR 2006, 2k22 looks amazing
WWE 13 the CM Punk game was my last one
@@jasonsmith530 damn that was my last one too, crazy how fast time flies
Those old WCW arenas look amazing
The whole engine looks phenomenal. At times it looks like we're watching a real video. The main thing that gives it away is the audience, but the wrestlers and the arena look great.
@@LBPreviews Watching Goldberg come out standing in the smoke and all, it really was very convincing. Got it on pc and wow, its a huge step up from anything weve seen in a wrestling title prior.
too bad there is no Sting
@@LBPreviews for real. Playing on a series x it looks like real life at times
Too bad they couldn't give Hollywood Hogan an upper lip!😂
It’s amazing!! You can really tell the difference between playing with a cruiser weight than a powerhouse. Not like other years where you could run with Bobby Lashley like you were Rey Mysterio
You speak the language of the gods 😮
I’ve seen so many videos about Big Show doing high flies
@@Hunter-qt2sx you obviously can (since you can edit the superstars move set) my point was more as in previous years Roman Reigns moved, attacked and reacted as fast as Kofi Kingston, which balance wise made all the cruiser weights and small wrestlers useless.
Playing with small guys like Finn balor or AJ styles feels so refreshing, they're so quick and agile
The only thing that bothers me is the opponent recovers way too quickly. The finishers should be a lot more powerful, or at least we should be given that option.
You can turn up finisher damage
@@SkyRu1eGaming Really? Where did you find it? The slider appears to be gone. (I’m aware of the slider for all moves.)
depends on stamina and body damage if I'm not mistaken
@@SkyRu1eGaming you shouldn’t have to do that smh
you can change the sliders
Gameplay and graphics fantastic. If only they added few more new match types and more depth to universe mode and gm mode this could of gotten 10 easily
Bro 😂 10 is taking it to far
Listen, for them just listen to the people and bring back GM mode and revamp it to fit modern times is beautiful to see
Nah gameplay took it down to a 6/10 graphics and presentation are a solid 9/10 tho
A 10 he said😂
I've played my gm today for 5 hours straight and didnt realise it !! Game is super fun
Ye but your wrestlers getting easily fatigued by singles matches while the opposing brand can have a hell in a cell match every week is unfair.
gm lol lame bro. thats like playing fantasy football
@@joeyweston9001 Cry more
@@joeyweston9001 that's soo cool but who tf asked
@@joeyweston9001 you're a mistake
NBA 2K, Madden (ESPECIALLY!), and Call of Duty.... This game shows exactly why games shouldn't be released yearly. Give the devs time to make the games great!
This game isn’t great
Agreed
Hope they keep the 2 year build just do a rooster update for next year as dlc and bring the new one out the next year
@@dredayy3572 you missed the bigger point of the statement lol
But the devs didn’t change anything even after two years 😂
It feels like a fun hybrid between Shut Your Mouth and SVR 07 and I’m all here for it
Haven't been this hyped for a WWE game since raw vs smackdown 2006
Will say for what we’ve gotten in the past 5 years it really is worth the hype
@@deleted1048 been doing alot of research on the game and constantly watch SmackTalks channel on the game, it has made me pre order the game last min before release
MY MAN
Don't be fooled. It's 2k19 with fancy camera angles and better graphics
@@OfficialGobbledyGooker and micro transactions
As a huge wrestling fan I’m happy they got rid of stamina and reversal stock it honestly killed the fun for me
Same Difference
who remembers the ps2 days playing with friends and the 4 controller adapters
Yea here comes the pain hell in a cell were some of these most memorable
Busting out the multitap to play elimination chambers with 6 players was awesome
lmao the multitap os Og
Some of the funnest times of my life right there
Why mentioned it in this video?
It's a step into a right direction
Let's just hope the franchise doesn't go to EA so 2K can actually continue to build on this
@@alexfarrell3250 yup
Me and my buddies have been playing 2019 and skipped 2020 and having a blast with the hilarious characters we would create and we had our last all out match the other night now onto the future
GM Mode is from 15 weeks up to 50 weeks by the way in case anybody needed to know. In the video it may be confusing as he only mentions it being 15 weeks.
Still should be more than a year lol
@Levi S. that’s universal mode
This is literally the only game I’ve been playing for the past few days WOW is this game fun.
The game is a lot of fun. Hopefully they get the server issues taken care of
Servers are much better today. They released a patch for them.
@@EventHorizon31 no they aren’t lmao
LMFAO!
@@EventHorizon31 not at all they actually got worse lmao
Haven't played a wrestling game since Nintendo 64 no mercy was the last one,might get this one for sure
Imagine when updates start rolling in... This game will be gem. This is amazing! ❤️
@@andreamoore8456 because you gotta update bro
You mean updates which will introduce predatory mtx? Yeah, no thanks..
Haven’t consistently played a wwe2k game since 2k16.Cant wait to get this
That and maybe 19’ were the last decent WWE games
This game is so much fun, I've had a blast the last couple of days. Going to get my money's worth with this game
its been out for a day what are you talking about
@@quetnom8737 if you pre-ordered the deluxe or NWO version, you could play since 12AM Tuesday.
@@quetnom8737 been out since Tuesday midnight
@@quetnom8737 lol you feel dumb now
Lmao you really aren’t it plays exactly the same
I’ll just wait til this game is on sale for $20 at the end of this month
lol it’s on sale for $52
Is there a bit of “entertainment” on the universe mode or mygm mode ? Such as scenes , promos , and superstars attacking rivals after/before matches . That would really be the deciding factor for me to get this game this weekend . Everything else looks awesome .
Let’s pray WWE 2K can keep this momentum up.
I’m not a huge fan of wrestling but that smoky arena really sells the look for me
That Rey Mysterio mode might be the best showcase mode ever I’m even putting it over stone colds the presentation is A1 Jesus the transitions during the match and seeing the actual video happen during the match is crazy
The bugs from 2k20 were also present 2k17 onwards however they got patched out pretty quick
This game deserves more than an 8! It's amazing in every way and so addicting. Best wrestling game since here comes the pain.
People just like it because it has Logan paul lol..
@@nani_bow3489 Logan Paul ain’t even in it yet so how tf is this even relevant ? He is DLC that hasn’t even been released yet 🤦♂️
No.
Nah it’s a 6/10 the graphics are the only thing saving it lmao
SvR 2008 was a goated entry in the series. I’m glad to see a callback to it
SvR is when the series started to go downhill imo. Here Comes the Pain was the peak.
@@Luke-cz9tm up until svr 07 was the same engine, same gameplay just updated match types, players etc, how can that be going down hill? They didn’t change the engine until 2008
Everything was goated until 2k took over
@@Luke-cz9tm Here Comes the Pain is legendary!
@@superbadisfunmy tbh I've never played a 2K WWE game but what's with the non-Kayfabe career mode??
Back in the day, you were a living and breathing WWE superstar. Now it seems you're playing a WWE simulator where you're an actor practicing cutting promos and working on your gimmick. Completely unimmersive.
putting the ring with all the TV screens in the back showing fans, that's an awesome touch
It feels more like a fighting game than it does a WWE game
Really makes you feel like Dwayne Johnson
No way, that’s the guy from fortnite
You feel the swag of a grown Samoan man.
really surprised it got an 8..was looking for my favorite number 7
Don't you mean Syxx ?
@@Sirch100precent ** Fi&e
Out of the Top 10 numbers, I'd put 7 at 9, not a fan.
Number 6 is so much better at a 2.
Can’t really compare scores with past games cuz IGN doesn’t have decimals anymore
Remember the days when you bought a game ONCE and you could unlock all characters on your own merit and not DLC packs😭
I’d say 8.5. It’s really, really fun. Can’t wait for the AEW CAW’s
6
Virtual wrestling 3 is still 10? Isn’t it?
Looks great, didn't play a WWE game since SvR 2011, time to come back
Why do the graphics in a 2022 game look like a game from 2012?
Just came here after watching an elimination chamber gameplay with the rock and cena going in and out of the ropes for awhile. Looks absolutely bananas. Preordering right now.
No need to preoder it comes out tmrw everywhere just grab it lol
Wdym preorder lol
Day of reckoning 1 and 2 are my favorite WWF games of all time
smackdown vs raw 2006 on PS2 was my entire afternoons/nights after highschool.. it was the masterpiece of it's time
The game is great to me if this is what 2K needed to get better I’m absolutely down for it
The past few WWE games have been awful but this one is awesome and much improved. Nearly perfect IMO. 9/10.
I've been saying it the fact that you don't need a wrestling game every year and that it's much better to take your time to build the game.
I’m just glad they brought back GM. Crazy that mode has been gone for so long
The Rey mysterio showcase mode is fun get to fight some giants Kane and undertaker batista
Looks like they took inspiration from Here Comes The Pain. Looking forward to play this one.
To wwe games enthusiasts, which previous games does 2k22's gameplay and overall feel is closest to? Compared to the likes of previous 2k, SvR games or even All Stars, HCTP, SYM, JBI, DoR, SD1/2, etc..
mixture of here comes the pain because overall striking freedom/movement and the detail and control of svr 💯
I'll be getting the game tomorrow and I'm glad to hear there are no loot boxes.
Makes me wish annual sports titles would at least take an extra year.
Finally, different path for male/female career modes. Can't wait to get my hands on it!
Now someone convince EA to do the same with Madden
Its been a great time! Lots of fun on this one 💯
I'm not surprise with the score. Quite nice really enjoyed this one.
Enjoyed this one? Tf does that mean lmao it just came out how have you already enjoyed it
If you pre ordered the nwo version you got to play it 3 days before release
It's a 6
Nice to hear they went back to the faster-paced, arcade-like gameplay. HCTP and SDSYM was the golden era for me. Hopefully they continue with the two-year development cycle over an annual release to ensure this level of polish.
Yes exactly! Those were my 2 favorite games and they definitely brought it back brother!
I’m loving all the extra side stories in the Myriae lost in it all day
My biggest gripe having been playing this for a couple of weeks is multi character matches like triple threats, tag teams and money in the bank are excruciating because NPCs will ruin your matches from the camera being pulled away to watch 2 NPCs fight ringside while you’re still playing to having NPCs break up every possible pin or acting so wonky they break a match
just got this game! waiting for the hours long download to finish. lookin forward to playing just hope the new controls are easy to learn.
They should make a new Smackdown vs Raw game. Those were really fun to play.
smackdown series was better
@@kefkarothsephka7708 it's the same series. They just changed the name and engine with WWE 12.
Some wrestlers are not currently on the WWE but they are on the game, not much bugs in this game so far
GM Mode is back?? Sold! - Despite the reviewer thinking it's a 'niche' mode, so many people absolutely loved this mode in smackdown vs raw 2006, 2007 and somewhat 2008. I'm thrilled it's been brought back!
Removing reversal bars is one the best things they have done, but they should have made reversals a bit harder to do
Virtual wrestling is still the way to go, here comes the pain was also cool 😎
If you go into options you can adjust the reversal timing window
@@crunchypunchfn7880 unfortunately it works only if you buy the game for offline gaming only
Looks like a fun game, but man the wrestlers in the WWE these days are so boring and generic...
Not true
@@theforcelockgamer2972 yea they are
@@theforcelockgamer2972 prolly why the game dont get as much love nomore
@@ghostflossy2403 You wrestling fans need to stop being so blinded by nostalgia
grew up withfirst wwe being 99,superstar,02,04,06 with last one being wwe 2008 raw vs smackdown ft ecw, kindof feel like tryin out 2k22
When does this come out when you pre order in Canada
Those old WCW arenas are nostalgic.
Wow an 8! I'm shocked!!!
Its terrible be warned
@@wesam6385 it’s not so go somewhere
@@wesam6385 It's not, it's freaking fantastic fun. Don't listen to this whiner.
@@wesam6385 why is it terrible?
@@dcsportsmark4996 It’s usually because mommy couldn’t buy them the game this year.
2k need to fix there servers online hasnt been playable since Tuesday! Hopefully the community highlights this issue so it can fixed.
Does this game bring back that raw vs smackdown 06 feel 🤔
I'm still not a fan of having strike combos and combo breakers in a wrestling game, that belongs in fighting games. But otherwise the gameplay is a HUGE improvement. The increased use of grapples to perform most moves makes the game play like No Mercy and that's never a bad thing! :) easily the best WWE game since HCTP!
looks like a much welcomed improvement and im glad too see the mechanics are simpler and more refined with that arcade feel to match, not crazy bout the packs thing but you knew 2k would fit that in somehow
Is there a note anywhere in the manual/case saying that the Online Servers will be taken down 24 months or so after release (or on a specific date)?
It’s lacking a lot of Legends for me and even the Legends we get we don’t get any of their younger skins. Like for example there’s only old man triple h and the rock, that’s very disappointing for me
You’re just looking to be disappointed. The legends who are actually OLD all got new scans of their younger versions. Stop whining
@@rodwells8577 idk where those scans went because they gave undertaker like 15 attires but we don’t get a classic rock in the game. There’s no reason for nba 2k to have like 3 versions of each legend and for wwe2k to have basically none
@@luigixroxas so hall, Nash , Hogan, xpac, Bret hart, and etc got what you’re looking for. Stop searching for a complaint
The point of having younger versions of certain characters is to recreate matches from the past. What's the point of Ministry Taker if he has none of his attitude era counterparts to go against.
@@rodwells8577 exactly man it’s like they will not be satisfied no matter what we get
The game is fun but theres a few things they left out ,
They removed the feature to customize entrances you can only select the simple version from older games
not the advanced version , the game crashes randomly during create a move set
and they removed the spear through the barricade
damn
They removed chain grapples and rest holds too also can't change submissions to the wheel. When it comes to gameplay.
You can go through the barricade still
@@FamishedYoshi its not an finisher no special animation if you hit a move near it it may break its not the same
Does it have the Excellence of Execution in it? Actually, does it have all the wrestling legends? If so I'll have to pick it up.
Is the pin system back to kind of button bashing or is it still the bar?
Please don't shutdown wwe2k22 etc online server, it will be forever played!
From 2k17 onwards, the franchise has been on the next level
BIG BOSS MAN Versus Kevin Owens: FATHER vs. SON! 😂😂🤣🤣
Looks great as a wrestling fan will get it was waiting for this review first
Just bought this for PS4. The graphics are amazing & the gameplay is hella fun! So far I’m very impressed
The character customization is just insane in this game! Can really make a wrestler exactly how you want them.
False
Wrong they don’t even have advanced entrances
@@SteezysWorld You’re on every comment being negative. If you don’t like the game get off the videos and go play something else
@@untam3dgorila83 Preach!
Is there any difference other than graphics and loading time
Heard alot of hardcore fans saying the roster is weak and outdated
Jermas’ gonna love this one
Legitimately feels like I’ve been ported back in time to the N64 THQ glory days only with better graphics and more options. Have stayed away from wrestling games since SVR2009 and this DOES NOT disappoint!
2K should be doing more of this; listening to the fans, removing the micro-transactions and taking a year off to ya know, ACTUALLY improve things for the gamer! Bravo 🙏
My only question is how many of those released superstars will be on the game
Like 30+. You can find the list online
The reversal thing stretching out the match and no tighter reversal timing windows would mean longer exhausting matches. AGREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The wrestling feels awesome in this game! Having a blast this is great for the series!
Has anyone played tlc matches? Are you able to stack two tables and send people through them? Like it was on 2K14?
Ya we can stack the tables
Damn this game actually looks really fun. Now idk which game to get on my birthday lol, so manny came out all at once
An online gm mode would be dope🙌🙌
"Here comes the pain" had the best gameplay in WWE Games history
Possibly
Smack down Vs Raw was the most fun
@@floominggonzo283 svr was lackluster and its season mode was watered down
*No Mercy has entered the chat*
WWE company is suffering... it will never be like attitude Era... or PS2 era
Probably you were under 15 at those times, it's normal.. gaming would be more fun at those age but Don't confuse your nostalgia with gaming dude. The current gen kids gonna have a blast with these games.
@@Fafnir2000 He's talking about wrestling in general was just way more entertaining back then which is true
@@joestuehmer7967 that's true but it's completely different for Gaming term
You could get away with saying and doing more stuff on TV 20 years ago. Try that now, you'll get censored and cried about from the Woke generation.
3:59 so in other words you just have to press all buttons and see what happens?
got the nwo4life version downloaded yesterday it really does look slick on a ps5 although my tv is from 2017 so 4k res probably look insane
The game is so much fun. So much so that I’ve switched my region to play it today.
Facts
Me too lol
Can you change the region back tomorrow ? I’m not sure if this would mess with the game in any way
@@davidhardcore704 yes you can you won't lose any data :)
@@davidhardcore704 first time I've done it lol I'm working today so me and my son wanted to play yesterday.
This game reminds me of a modern day WCW/nWo Revenge (old school wrestling game) . The grappling/striking engine is so fluid. So easy to get the hang of too. Within an hour of first playing we were power bombing off the top of the cage.
