Couple of weird incorrect details here. The strike off mini game can be prompted by holding square on PS5 and can only be implemented once a match. Gauntlets matches are not restricted to 4 people at all, I’ve played this mode and have done 5, 6 and 10 man gauntlets.
What u gona do with graphics if the game crashes and keep crashing by replacing players with ai during online matches and u can never enjoy the game and the competition
You 2k scrubs need to pick a side. You said you didn't want realism and that you missed the arcade feel. Now you want Yukes back? Yukes is responsible for the realism and physics.
@@ZQPPS Torrie Wilson on PS2 looks more like Torrie Wilson than Tiffany Stratton looks like on 2k24. Infact 2k23 did tiffany better. So your point is moot.

So visual concepts adds nothing but what should've already been in there and charges you 70+ bucks for an update to 2k22. Its nba 2k series all over again.
I still have that game, and I have it connected to a converter box to play on my 4k t.v with improvement in the picture. Looks great and plays great, just not much to do besides career mode. It gets boring fast and the replay value is low.
I don’t know why but it always annoys me on the entrances that the wrestlers don’t walk out from behind the curtain and that there isn’t a deep backstage area to explore
And then the people that worked on the showcase mode should either get a chance to improve it next game or get fired or before that and hire someone else to make it better next time for WWE 2k25
That one run-in limit needs to get patched into older games 😭. I'm glad they added that it's actually going to make tag matches tons more fun especially My Faction matches (I'm assuming the AI abides by this hopefully)
2k24 is better than 2k23. Cons of 2k24: - Buggy with tons of glitches (probably will be patched in the future) - Horrendous sound track - Lack of effort into certain characters like Bobby Lashley, Ilja Dragunov . Even Judgement Day. (generic entrances if you come out with 2 or 3 of the 4 members of the Judgement Day)
8 is about right. There’s still plenty to do to improve the game. Universe, some of the Legends models and crashing needs sorting. Plus a lot of tweaks to options between game and universe mode.
How are the reversal prompts in this one? In 2K23 they were a bit too fast/unpredictable to my liking, and at times just plain hard to see. Are they improved in 2K24?
Unless you get the Wrestlemania edition or the booster you have to play it to unlock wrestlers and arenas. It’s not that bad, you get to at least watch mania highlights with a commentary by Corey Graves and a few other wrestlers
@@RasAzrielI’m loving it, fans always want more and will always find something to complain about. Let’s just be who are are that’s fans.. leave the video game development to the 2k crew. Just pick it up and play
@RasAzriel There is a Forty Years of Wrestlemania Bonus Pack that on the stores has all the content from digital version but in Showcase only the characters are unlocked not the arenas, you still need to go through Showcase to get them.
They should make the goals optional in showcase. Have you play it like a normal match, but if you do the goals, it will be a nice surprise instead of annoying.
@ 7:21 pre cheapshot - Piper has thinning slick backed hair with a slight bit of Norwood recession. Post cheapshot with in-game footage - the cheapshot has miraculously triggered a hyper hair growth spurt and Piper now has a brand new hair line with a thick mop top. The character models are still nowhere near where they should be in places, can they not use glorious AI or something to get them spot on? Bret's hair looks nothing like his either in-game. It's the little details in sports sims that make a big difference, inaccuracies take you out of the experience.
Do you guys even check the online portions of the game before giving a review? Online is autrocious, the game crashes when entering community creations. The input lag, disconnects and frame rate is front and center. Also no mention of cut content being resold as DLC? This is why IGN is a joke. Access media at its finest.
So there’s an option when you play online to change your matchmaking location so you can play non laggy matches depending on where your from… changing this setting does absolutely nothing and your in the laggiest lobby they can put you in. Takes a million years to load up a game or enter a lobby This one is crazy… they actually added a spam of flashing lights that they will spam you with on your screen after hitting a top rope springboard signature or finishing move and there’s no option to turn this off so it’s like they are purposely harming the player of their game Well there’s my review for wwe 2k24
An 8 are you serious the last couple years this game deserved an 8 but this game has been built to a higher level then the previous ones this one should have gotten atleast a 9 or a 10
Look at the camera angles in ring. They are unrealistic as the side angle dominates with ropes filling the screen. This doesnt simulate tv shows in terms of camera angles.
Don't forget the messy character creation, they practically gave up on the hairstyles after 15th hairstyle. Looks like it's all cardboard and playdough
Whilst new games keep pushing the graphical envelope, the WWE games have looked the exact same for the best part of the last decade - even the old PS3 Smackdown Vs Raw games would probably hold up well today with a boost in resolution. The animations still look awkward, and they still haven't implemented a weight system to properly separate who you play as and how effective moves are - how many powerbombs have you ever seen Rey Mysterio execute?
