But presentation doesn't mean jack if the gameplay is broken and boring. And the amazing aesthetics of CAWS don't mean anything if they all play the same, and feel "empty". Keep in mind, this is still a great party game, if you want to throw a few back and have fun with your buds. But for that hardcore niche audience that enjoys a single player experience, it doesn't hold a candle to great series like fir pro or the Aki games. Stevie Richards actually put it best. He said that for all their incredible aesthetics, the WWE games lack the "heart" of the in ring performance as an art form, and fire pro captures it perfectly. |

Also, I've never been a fan of the animations as a whole in WWE games. Sure the finishers of the top half of the roster look great, but a very large majority of the moves just look bad. They either look cartoonishly animated, or much weaker than they should.

Everything I could name that shouldve been loads of fun is buggy as shit Unless I just got lucky the AI didnt spend all its time trying to set up and climb the ladder(kudos for actually trying to really hurt me first ) so thats something |

It really is painful. It could be SOOOOOOOO good if they cleaned up their QA, and created a new engine instead of continually modifying the same 20 year old one.

Probably would have a new engine by now had the WWE not rejected 2K Games request to delay or have a year off when they took over from THQ.
Believe it was WWE 2k14 where they wanted the extra time needed for development and got rejected. |

Yeah, when 2k came aboard I was optimistic that we'd eventually be getting a brand new game engine eventually.
But that's clearly never going to happen. This is the game we are always going to have. |

Here's another one. Trying to get a trophy where you catch a diving opponent and carry them around the ring. Ember wasn't doing her finisher properly, would just do a wake up taunt on the top rope and then get down, so I tried changing them to springboards... And this happened
I can't get up, clearly because the AI wants to do something and can't work out what. |

Might depend on their Universe ally settings rather than just work in the Play now mode though. EDIT: Don't know if it was coincidence, but Seth and Roman didn't touch either and made a couple of saves since I re-setup the Shield.... Until Seth had a finisher and eliminated Roman with it. |

Universe mode just booked this for the Wrestlemania main event between Kevin Nash and Roman Reigns.
Look, I get it, no-one wants to see that match, but this is over the top. |

Think I figured out that no win condition bug. The Royal Rumble winner 2 years in a row has won a title shot at both belts, so has 2 matches (The reason that didn't show in the video is that I cashed in MITB with Christian on Orton). Going to find out if it affects both title matches this time, or just the second one which has been the Universal title both times.

Both times I simmed to Mania, the Rumble winner faced both champs in seperate matches. At least the matches worked this time.

I've just gave the soundtrack a listen to, as I wanted to see what it's like and I'm now left wondering why I did that to myself.
The soundtrack is absolutely awful. |

In my opinion, it only has one good song and it's "Down With The Sickness".

Ha, I'm currently cashing in Money in the Bank every single week on Epico in career mode and grinding out money, influence and loot boxes. I've found a way to exploit the glitches!

Downloading now, very surprised it came out on pc so fast, usually takes several months after the consoles get it.

For those interested in the digital version for the Switch, need at least 1 GB of free space on the internal harddrive and 32GB of free space on a flash memory card. |

IGN gave it a 7.0/10 which is the lowest score they've given a WWE game in ages.

The fact that WWE and 2k refuse to just take a year off is so stupid
Ubisoft gave Assassins Creed a rest and they seem to have revamped that whole thing |

I get tempted by this every year no matter how shit it looks. I don't buy all that many games so it's not as though $60 would break the bank. The part that would inevitably piss me off is that I'd be spending $60 for maybe a month or so of playing before I get unbelievably bored and put the game in the drawer forever.

Career mode could actually be good if it worked. As it is, I can't atop playing just to see how else I break it.
