@zachla100 Most people like to collect. It's called a hobby. Also most gamers still enjoy having the physical disc. You own nothing when it's digital.
People just always want more. They have the new interactive island. You liked the core gameplay for a reason. They also took away parts people didn't like (live action has never been accepted well by folks whether it was SEGA CD, 2K24, or even VR games). This looks great
The problem is these changes feel more like updates rather than an actual new game, more than that each of them has a €130 ultimate edition with tons of content still locked behind my faction
Your right the physics needs to be updated this would make wwe games more realistic and fun I've been saying this since 2k20 lol the wrestlers would interact better with everything.
That, the wrestlers models and arenas updates to match the new ones, that's all you gonna get, oh, and a roster update. That's all the do every year for the amazing price of $129.99

@@the._jayd3n128 You cared enough for a reply. It's an opinion, just because I said what I said, you don't have to accept it. My rise is also copy paste again with a new story, your character stands there, you select who you want to talk, read messages from socials, accept or reject fights, more of the same again, since 2k19, if you could move around the arena like my career mode of 2k18 again now that would be an improvement.
I don't understand why they put so much work into improving the Showcase mode. Seriously, does anyone even play this boring mode where the game stops being a sandbox and tells you exactly what moves to perform during your match, killing your creativity? The only mode I'm interested in is MyRise and expanding it-everything else doesn't matter to me
@@zachla100 2 months? That's generous. The average player can 100% complete MyRise for both the men and women's division on a weekend lol. What they need to expand is Universe Mode and the creation suites like bringing back story designer.
We at least for me, I know wrestling is scripted. They go over what moves they’re gonna do when and where. Showcase mode is literally telling you “This is the move they wanted to do, so do it”. Like nba 2k games when you played Kobe’s games u had to do what they told you cuz that’s what Kobe did in the game. If u wanna make ur own matches just do that lol
Actually makes it more realistic by having your human opponent pressing buttons until he gives up. Edit: These mini games look terrible and somewhat distracting.
Adding quick time events to the little moments that are cutscenes in showcase would go a long way to just FEELING like you're the one hitting the big move at the end. There shouldn't be like 50 of them, but like just anything that feels like your character does a big thing should be in your hands
I expect new cutscenes, mic work, etc. these games need to include AI technology maybe in the mic work concept where the AI develops different optional dialogue.
this is the reason why i wasn't mad that WWE 2K20 was ass, if it wasn't for that we would of never got what we always wanted in WWE games, WWE 2K25 is a contender for the best modern wrestling game of this generation and i love it, as i did prefer 2K23 over 2K24.

Not having a cross platform creation suite is a huge disappointment for me. Alot of people enjoy the caw's & not being able to have full access to all the PC created characters & arenas sucks
I just want the servers to be functional more than anything, I swear it’s been more than 50% of matches disconnecting or crashing to this day on wwe2k24
No way… Chain wrestling and submission mini games are back??? Awesome. Two of the best features from we2k19. I might buy this one. Will wait and see if they have improved universe mode first.
The last WWE 2K series I bought was 22. After that I didn’t see any changes or improvements, so I wasn’t tempted to buy the new ones. It’s disappointing. graphics, sound, gameplay, everything has been copy paste for years. I hope we get a truly new game next year.
I haven't played the game but by the looks of it, this might be the best WWE game 2K has ever made (14 doesn't count, I'm not going back and forth with you on that.)
I just care about universal mode to see Whether or not they're going to take out those old cutscenes, and only have fresh new ones with the new promos and make the cuts scenes give you choices on what you choose to do like the old games
People saying its the same game are in denial and are madden lovers. Its a wrestling game. I dont know what people expect. It has new features more that those games football fans complain about but still buy and fond all themselves over
Let's see whats new, the wrestlers models are 10% more detailed so that people can see it looks more detailed, new arenas to match the new ones, roster update.That's all they do every year for the amazing price of $70 or $130 for the bloodline edition, I recommend the bloodline edition so that you can be like Sami and join the bloodline. Some comments like "why do people expect them to make a radically different game each year", for the price that they charge you every year for the same product we would appreciate a better game and not a copy paste change your work a bit game. Stop defending 2K like they care about you.
They are slowly progressing and this gameplay from what I’m seeing it’s worth it multiple backstage brawls, bringing back chain wrestling and the old submission system back I love it I’m ready to get my hands on this game

Yeah think I'm going 2 sit this one out and stick with last year's. With the no physical copy of deadman edition and console not being able to download pc community creations is enough for me to say no. But for whoever does decide to get it hope you enjoy it
