![]() It’s not a gamebreaker, at least not that I’ve seen when compared to previous years, though it could be for some. One consistent issue during my playthrough involved my created character using a powerbomb where their arm was meant to go through the opponent’s legs, but it wouldn’t. This isn’t to say the animation is issue-free though, as there are still moments where your wrestler will try to perform an action that doesn’t work with body types and situations at play. If I didn’t know any better, I’d think it was an AEW video game with how satisfying the striking is, though maybe that’s also due to the swathes of released wrestlers that comprise the WWE 2K22 roster. Despite WWE’s relatively sterile presentation, the animation often feels more reminiscent of a hard-hitting indie show where the wrestlers go hell for leather. Striking seems to have received the lion’s share of the upgrades, as some of these attacks look absolutely brutal. The enhancements also extend to the animation blending, which appears to have been given a significant upgrade compared to previous years. Most matches now become thrilling affairs, where victory seems so close only for a reversal to come out of nowhere, leading to impressive sequences and quick exchanges. Quite why reversals were changed in the past is bonkers to me, because now that they’re back to the way they were, the speed of the game has quickened immensely. While it’s not quite on par with the AKI engine classics like No Mercy, the fighting is fairly reminiscent of the Def Jam games.Ĭrucially, 2K have made the decision to remove reversal stocks all together, allowing the players to basically reverse most moves whenever they like. It’s a classic approach that immediately gives the game a more old school feel in the best way possible. The new control system features light attacks, heavy attacks and grapples, with set combos based on different button presses. Limited reversal stocks meant that gameplay would go through significant lulls as you’d have no choice but to watch yourself get wailed on if you ran out of them, while punitive stamina meters meant that you’d be tuckered out after just a few moves.Īfter years of that style of gameplay, 2K have finally switched things up and it’s all the better for it. Since WWE 2K15 introduced a more simulation focused game engine, the pace of matches could be described as glacial at best. The bulk of the upgrades come with the renewed gameplay engine. While 2K22 isn’t perfect, there’s a lot to love here in comparison to every other WWE game since 2K14, and it feels like 2K Sports are laying down the foundations for what could be an even better 2K23.
