What's worse is what you unlock. 4 shirts, 4 skins, and 40 player badge icons that nobody cares for. People have paid for basically 8 cosmetics that are really pathetic, and some icons no one will ever use. The only difference between this mode and the base game is that the computer will pick 10 random opponents for you, other than that, it's not changed the game in any way at all.
Just got kicked off the discord group for telling them we want new match types and caw parts. I'm officially uninstalling this game and considering even stop watching AEW all together. It's sad it's come to this but this company doesn't give a f about honest feedback.
I just finished this mode and I have a few thoughts. 1) I agree with people who say that this mode should have been a free update to the game. Stadium Stampede is a much more ambitious mode than Beat The Elite, but for some reason we have to pay for it. 2) The difficulty lies in how many attempts you have to complete 10 matches, but it does not affect the difficulty of the AI, which means that you can run all 4 stages on easy difficulty. No challenge for the player. 3) The reward system is 4 t-shirts, 4 skins, 40 icons...that's it. For me, the ideal situation would be to unlock attires for wrestlers depending on who you are playing the mode for. Yes, there is some element of grind, but it would be at least a small reason to play again and again. Verdict: weak DLC
Wondering if the cosmetics actually include anything worthwhile instead of goofy bs nobody asked for The rewards are the only reason anyone would want this as the mode itself clearly isn't anything like a tournament despite what they advertised. It's just regular matches in a Mortal Kombat towers format, it doesn't even look like they gave the later matches an insane difficulty AI or anything. Absolutely should've just been a free update they're charging money for a nothing mode.
One dumb T-shirt wacky textures that are unusable for anything you're trying to create specifically, and generic singles matches, not even anything gimmicky or creative.
For those wondering, here is everything you unlock in this mode altogether... 4 t shirts 4 skins 40 player profile badges. Thats it. You have to beat the mode 4 times, and thats what you get. Nothing more.
@@MrHartgraveFromPartsUnknown I'll definitely be here for it.. I even watch these games because you make it interesting.. I just want more match types..
It should have been free. They made people pay for this garbage. You get nothing for your money. Unless what you really want is 40 new player badge icons, 4 shirts and 4 stupid skins, then it ain't worth any money.
i actually like the idea of an "arcade mode", despite the rewards being crap. even after the first time clears, i could see it being something i go back to. sometimes you just want to play a few matches without needing to set up each match. BUT i dont think its something they should have charged money for. hell, im not even going to buy season 2 unless i see it on a huge discount because none of it is worth their asking price.
Dude, this isn't a game mode, it's basically just the computer selecting your opponents for you. The only new thing is the screen it sends you to start a match, except it forces you to have 10 of the same repetitive Boring gameplay matches for pointless prizes.
@@truthseeker1867 its literally the same thing as arcade mode in any number of fighting games. i like it. but like i said above, it should have been a free bonus, not paid dlc.
I said early on they didn't read the room when it comes to what fans want from their wrestling games. All they had to do was truly look at the play style and content Smackdown here comes the pain and No Mercy had.
True, but I feel that’s also due to more priorities/responsibilities and a busier work/life schedule. I and most people that I know that are working paycheck to paycheck don’t have much free time to hang out with many people.
Mr. Hartgrave, I have been watching you since FF dropped, and your content never disappoints. From your love of AEW to your taste in music (dig up her bones cover) you are such a cool dude. Wish you the best, my guy.
no he is too dumb. he also keeps calling it a new patch. nothing was patched today. there was no new download. the last update for this game came out on Nov 3rd. patch 1.07 all the DLC was in that patch.
I would’ve loved this game if tornado tag matches were added, regular tag matches with friends/children aren’t fun when one player just sits outside the ring, and nobody likes competition all the time. I got FF’s platinum trophy, but won’t be buying season 2 or playing this game, until tag matches are fun.
Thanks for the video, man. Is it only me, or is the easy level on "beat the elite" much hard as before against the AI (1vs1)? I play "AEW - fight forever" on my old PS4 Pro. I played now a few matches on the mode "beat the elite" on easy. It was for me much hard to beat the AI (more kick outs and the opponent fights much harder against me "counter", ....). It was really fun for me. I always wanted a more difficult level against the AI with more kick outs, longer matches,.... Overall I really love the game play and the game controls of "AEW - fight forever". My problem is, that now we need to pay for everything in this game (the new dynamite arena for example). This arena must be for free in my opinion and the prices are to high for the DLC-stuff, but I still support this game. And I support your channel. Best regards Chris from Germany
I think on the discord the community manager confirmed that there is a issue with Xbox that could take I think one to 24 hours he said I'm not 100% sure on that
I have season pass 2 and its not showing up for free download on xbox one... only showing up for $6.99. I requested a call back from Microsoft and they are claiming that it will be updated in via patch later today. Like why they gotta do it that way instead. Its not in my menu when I load up the game either. Like WTF 😢
I have the game on Switch. I get the short end of the stick no matter what at this point. Glad you made this video, I'll wait until the season pass 2 goes on super sale down the road.
@@MR.__G I'll be happy to buy a season pass 2 when it goes on sale for a couple of dollars, just so I can get the arena and the extra wrestlers. It's like you purposely misinterpreted my comment.
@@MR.__G because I support them is why I'm able to complain. It actually gives me more of a reason than people who don't support them to begin with. Are you 12? Do you just immediately give up the second you're not happy about everything? Your car breaks down so you just abandon it on the side of the road or something? Paying them a couple of dollars for a couple of dollars worth of content makes sense. Literally go away and don't comment under my comments ever again weirdo.
The only way this would have worked well would have been to have all 10 wrestling opponents around the ring and as you beat each wrestler the next would enter the ring. I believe one of the smackdown games had this many years ago called slobber knocker mode or something along that line. Make it fun , this is just boring and a bunch of exhibition matches, we had to have plenty of those to unlock owen hart we dont need to play a bunch more or them. Waste of a feature, swap this with a cage match.
Hey, how do you beat this game on/difficulty it’s giving me a hard time. I can’t get past the second or third character. What character should I use? I tried my customize character. It didn’t work. I tried big show it didn’t work what should I do?
Just to let you know, I made an AEW video if you ever want to look at it on my channel you’re welcome to you opinion on it. It just talks about the game if you have free time.
Honestly, those “rewards” are lazy and lame. This whole season 2 is also lazy and lame. This game has become a total disappointment. Hopefully Ultra Pro Wrestling will deliver what I thought this game would.
Now I'm subscribed. For a while at the start of this game i didnt agree with anything you said when you defended this game to the extent you did. But now your seeing what the rest of us see and are fighting back against the game. If we dont fight them to do better theyll just keep failing us.
😂 omg I just cracked up with your commentary the whole time. Ugh, I'm not buying season 2 or anything else from aew until I see them make it right with this game
The prizes should be say beat the elite with sting unlock surfer sting/crow sting or something. These skins are ok but I was expecting something a bit better or even arena parts would be cool but hey, yeah I’m happy we got something. These match types requests seem to be falling on deaf ears just give us a cage
Every time THQ Nordic lowers my expectations for the game, it turns out they still weren't low enough. I thought they would at least do SOMETHING with this mode - damage on your wrestler carrying over, optional objectives in each match, etc. No, it's just a bunch of exhibition matches with UI. That is the laziest thing I ever could've fathomed.
This game mode is completely useless lol And THEY KNOW THIS ALREADY, they are just being desperate in trying to make money back from this game because of how much Tony paid them to make it. So now they are literally just auto choosing your opponents for matches instead of you choosing and they are giving that a mode name, like it's some kind of... MODE when in actual fact, it's just auto choosing your opponents. What a shameless attempt at crowd funding money for a crap game with no content.
I love that it's a single player mode I feel like there's not enough to do for single player I just think it should have been a update instead of a DLC
I understand that feeling and am disappointed as well, but I understand that they don’t care because they also have a loyal fan base that will accept anything that comes from the company regardless of quality. The loyal AEW fans keep the company and their products going.
Woefully light on match types,half of roster is missing including some big hitters who they should realistically be moving heaven and earth to get in there,this had the chance to be the most current wrestling game ever with the promise of regular updates making the game as close to whats happening on the shows but instead we have just got pretty much the bare minimum and its clear they dont want to put in the effort needed to put this game where it should be!
Typical let down by AEW i stop buying wwe games to give them a chance and this is what i get guess the grass isn’t greener on the other side. I been stop playing this game im looking forward to ultra pro wrestling game to come out
Yeah if it had some variety I'd be fine with it have a 1 v 1 followed by a triple threat maybe suprise us by throwing a cage match in there doubt I'll ever go back to this now in all honesty
So always the same arena and the same standard match type....I want randomized everything to give this replay value and let me win and then defend a belt and keep track of who has it in the mode.....This blows and they need a tag team version
Im still enjoying this and have friends, but im just old school with an attention span that last more than an hour. People maybe need to break up their day and possibly work
Holy crap when do you have 11 skin textures and I only have five. Because I'm on Xbox? I have all season passes but no beat the elite. It's an Xbox thing isn't it 🤣
I'm sorry to have to tell you the switch is 2 dlc drops behind every other console right now and that appears to be the way AEW games likes it. AEW FF is the best wrestling game in the switch hands down. Now having said that I have been supporting this game from the beginning and these mofos don't even have whatever it takes to release everything at once rather than just saying fuck em to a part of their fan base.
Happy birthday but I'm sorry for your loss. What did you do wrong to get this game for your birthday?? You should've checked out the reviews before you got it. You'll be hating it and bored of it in a week or 2.
@michaelvandoran1377 I'm pissed off at the mishandling of season 2 entirely when it comes to the switch. Having said that, AEW FF is a good game. After about a month I played it intermittently and I'm glad I did because I still have fun with it when I do play it. You'll keep having fun of you want to.
They’re selling a single player arcade ladder? Wtf? This game sucks and I’m pissed I chose this over wwe this year. I was trying to help the little guy and the hype of a “NEW N64 WRESTLING GAME” got to me. This game isn’t fit to sniff No Mercy’s tights.

Does it have replay value?
Hit LT/RT to look for more icons, says it right under Icons/Backgrounds (which you change with LB/RB)
Was wondering how he missed that with Icons but not badges etc;
I mean they aren’t even catering to couch co-op when they can’t even include tornado tag matches.
I appreciate how much you want them to improve the game. 😊
Awesome....you can now create Pinocchio with that wood texture 😅
Saw the ad for Beat the Elite on IG this morning. “Nintendo Switch to Follow” is now officially my least favorite phrase in the English language.
To say I'm disappointed in AEW FF would be a understatement.☹️
Wondering if the cosmetics actually include anything worthwhile instead of goofy bs nobody asked for

Took me 20min to complete everything of this mode and delete this game off my Hardrive once more 😂
I returned this game 2 days after buying it.. It's a shame such a good creator is giving his all to a game that just keeps failing fans
