    Favorite one in the 2K series so far, this doesn't count for the SVR games but 2k23 is great. It's an overall improvement on WWE 2k22 with a bunch of new tweaks, gameplay feels good, universe is better then ever in my opinion. I preordered the deluxe edition to get the 3 days early access and in those 3 days it was all I wanted to play with all the improvements. If you're new to the series, I'd say buy it and try it out. Some people prefer the more arcade stack 3 tables and toss Edge off a ladder into them feel, some people prefer the more simulation based chain wrestling and slow paced matches, this IMHO has both, you can go all out in match types and have fun while still kind of enjoying the semi realistic feel of the game itself. Overall good game, 8/10

    I’ve been a fan of wrestling games since the Smackdown vs Raw era (specifically ’07), and as a die hard wrestling fan, I can say that this game is probably better in every aspect which makes me happy because of the following, more detailed looks, lighting, ray-tracing and has more match types!

    Counterpoint to the AI pinning: if you watch wrestling you'll see the wrestlers stick pins in after combinations or what have you, even if they didn't hit a sig or a finisher. So its more realistic that the AI will try and pin you off a snap suplex or a falcon arrow.

  • @MrDrProfessorCJ
    @MrDrProfessorCJ Před rokem +23

    The only thing I wish is on the career mode, I would love to see you be able to choose the type of wrestler you'd be. For example, if you're a giant, have the story tailored to how big and massive you are. Maybe you're a supernatural-being type of wrestler (i.e. kane undertaker or the boogeyman), and your presence terrifies other wrestlers. I think that it would be cool to have your personality affect how the wwe universe interacts with you. It would definitely make for a more interesting gameplay experience.

    As a person who has been very critical of WWE games for the past decade+, it's really good! I didn't give last years game a chance so can't really compare it to how much of an improvement it is over last years, but from the game prior, without even taking the buggyness of that game into account, it's really nice to play and look at and a big upgrade. There's still a lot of bugs in it and a lot of the game just not working, like it can't tell how to do a move from a top rope correctly, or it can't target the correct person and hit attacks on them. It can be frustrating at times when this happens.

The face models on people like the Bella twins, Cody Rhodes, EVEN SOMETHING BEING OFF ABOUT THE FACE OF THE GAME JOHN CENAS BASE MODELS FACE. It seems like they really need to focus on taking longer gaps between the games because the graphics waiver insanely. They need to take those 2-3 year breaks, and just gradually add to the roster and update overalls while making new stuff for the next games.

    I bought this day one and let me tell you, I do NOT regret it one bit! I do entrance swaps on my channel and just seeing how creative I can get and the addition of more clothing items in Create a wrestler, not taking away from last year just adding on to them with the new wrestlers added this year. I haven't touched showcase mode but being able to get in game unlocks is something that makes me really want to play the game. I wish more games had in game unlocks instead of just paying for DLC

    Basically: everything got improved over 2k22 and that is it. Bye.
    Such as: every animation is more polished that it feels natural unlike 2k22
    Create a wrestler got improved to the point of me being able to create my likeness in a very convincing way.
    The showcase is kind of fun I guess.
    Create your entrance is good, but underwhelming (unless I missed the button to change cameras cause that was the best thing before)
    Myrise has OK story. I did not fully play it
    Haven't played universe mode yet.
    Essay warning:
    My friend and I both have started playing wrestling games since Raw vs Smacksown 2011 on ps2. We both have the same power of trickiness, capability to constantly reverse, taking advantage of our own environment, and basically beating each other with strategies.
    So in 2k22, we kinda hated going against each other due to poor animations between moves which always caused confusion and bugs. In 2k23, the experience have improved to the point of eliminating that issue. Of course, that is not an indicator to whether this should convince you to buy this game or not. But we are having fun playing as Randy Orton 9', Triple H 9' ( I think or 8'). I am also having fun playing as my second favorite wrestler John Cena in his super Cena form cause that was a funny old meme that 2k team have put. So yeah, we are having fun in multi-player mode :).

    I've enjoyed the cena showcase this year and I find myself thinking that I'll replay it again at some point, might be because you play as different superstars. I liked to unlock the wrestles too. The randy orton bald version is good.
    Gameplay is the same as 2k22 with some tweaks.
    I liked last year's game, was still planying it all year round until this game.
    GM Mode is better, more matches and titles but still cruiserweights v giants and all that stuff meaning you'll get better ratings by matching them up with others that go together.
    Hate faction mode and not played the career mode yet, didn't like it last year. Universe mode is better, I made a ruthless aggression era with them superstars of then and changed the shows for the older raw and smackdown venues with ppv. Plus the titles.

      Yeah it's kind of an acquired taste. My gripes with it is that the parking lot area kinda just got lazy after 2k19. There used to be lots of backstage areas that you could wrestle in. From locker rooms to lobby areas, corridors in PS2 era, you can even access a sports bar, a subway station and even time square with helicopters. But judging from this video, there's only the parking lot space and worst yet it's exactly identical to ones from 2K22 last year.
