Even the community mod wont answer straight forward questions. Was going to buy BL edition but bowing out assuming its going to be the last gen version.

[stonecoldecw23]

ideally not just 2 or 3 wrestlers. more like 10-12 high ranked. and really it can be whoever you want it to be with editing... you can edit stats to your liking.

i watched wrestling in the attitude era, so i have certain stars i like in the main events, and certain ones i prefer in mid card.

high ranked hogan, goldberg, taker, austin, rock, triple h, warrior, andre, sting, ddp, and bruno.

just for example.

then your mid carders orton, cena, batista, lashley, and whoever else you can think of.

bottom line, just want the game to respect the overalls. otherwise what is the point of having stats at all? my simple answer is just bring back reversal limits and let us pick how many reversals we get for each wrestler. 1 - 5 or UNLIMITED. that was everybody would be happy.

I'm only going to know as much as what's out there publicly because I'm a volunteer.

I'm not sure which question I'm not answering, though.

REALISM? hasnt been around since 2k20.

this is my opinion.

in my view, simulation wrestling was removed after 2k20. because 2k22 23 and 24 all were button mashing fests and not fun at all. going to reserve my judgment for 2k25 until after i play it. but it looks to follow the previous 3 games from what i have seen.

pro wrestling NEEDS Simulation style. must be able to defer from a main eventer and a jobber. its all about telling stories, but with every star with high ratings and unlimited reversals, there is not many stories that can be told.

You can still have all that, in an arcade style game. I wouldn't say they were button mashers, because you still had to time reversals and stuff right. Also, you don't NEED simulation in wrestling games. The best ones were arcade style, like No Mercy and SVR 06.

SVR was dope...if you want arcade just whip out the ps1 and pop that in.

raw is war and attitude were probably the two worse wwe games ever. it was the first era wwe games so what do you expect. The roster literally had like 16 wrestlers in it. It had 3 different matches 1v1, 2v2 and battle royal.

Now there are enough on the roster to have royal rumbles from both genders...you literally can't go wrong with that type of roster and the all the different match types. I just wish they would put more gimmick matches like the leather strap match, contract on a pole, maybe a shark cage to put the ops manager in it. Hell why mot throw in the eye for an eye match.

Out of curiosity, how would you change the gameplay in those matches so they're engaging for players and different from other matches?

[stonecoldecw23]

thanks for all the replys, so many different opinions on these matters. but to each their own.

i liked raw is war and attitude for the n64. good times. even back then for some matches... if i created a weak fighter against a strong fighter, i could sim the match and the game would respect the ratings and strong would win. if i wanted a closer match then i would adjust the ratings accordingly.

thats all i want to do in a wrestling game. tell my own story. not just every star having unlimited reversals.

my first pro wrestling game was wwf raw for sega genesis. and since then i havent missed a wrestling game from any company. some were arcade, and some were SIM.

the only game i really hated was 2k20, only because it froze on me all the time and glitches were insane.

all that said i am still fired up for 2k25, just hours away. Deadman Edition RIP!

Anybody want that back? I get "realism", but simulation has made the games a bit less fun to play. I miss the stuff, like in HCTP or 06, etc. The games seem slow now as well.

Game just needs to be more smooth.
I do miss the arcade style as in modes, but moveset, I find the other recent WWE games to be ok where its at now, its just sluggish where it can feel buggy at times.

scam they don't care about PC players

no island, no cross play (bulk of community on consoles) and online gm cant even spectate or play against your friends!

I don't play these games online because online matches don't seem to work a lot of the time for me, but I understand why you'd be upset about not having cross play, but I'm glad the PC doesn't have the Island. I'm a NBA 2K player, trust me, you don't want to get caught up in that Island stuff.

Island stuff,
you know I'm trying to get into VR games, but every game seems to have 12 year olds yapping and being super social, very awkward. So i'm not sure if thats what you mean by the island stuff is bunch of kids.

I do find the PC to have more mature playerbase like working class people. Not a bunch of kids.

I buy this game based on roster and the game modes. I don't give no care about if this is an 8th gen or 9th gen or next gen. Who cares.
If game is bad it don't matter if its next gen.
If game is really good, it don't matter if its next gen.

Also, having 300+ people in a roster, thats nothing.
If you missing people I actually play, thats the difference thats the decision factor.
If you don't have the fun game modes/styles to play your favorite people, thats a decision factor too.

They need to make the superstar creator as good as having an original.
Because just because I can community create download them, thats not the same as actually being an original.

Because the created superstars just don't feel the same as the originally in game
superstars

So if anything they need to make it so created superstars feel just as good as the in game superstars. Then roster, that one person or peoples I want in game not making it, doesn't weigh as much as in deciding is this game bad or good.

Check out THIS headline!

"A solid annual improvement despite its cynical new game mode"

"The pay-to-win island would make Ted DiBiase blush [...]"

It's important to read the article though so I'm doing just that. They seem to like the game outside of the island. It's been a reoccurring theme in the articles I read today.

[speedY [ Я v Ь ]]

If you buy this game...

Yes if you buy this you support 2k and their ways of don't care about the PC community. They don't give us the "next gen" version, we don't get features like the island etc so I don't get it why people still support this.

Your money, your desicion - But that's not helping PC players.

[AmosReginaldJr.]

its for this reason i am not buying it. I was excited for the island and well, we dont get it?!??!?!

[Aracore]

Some of us just don't care about the island and just wanna have fun. I get it if your upset, so vote with your dollar.

I'm not a big fan of the island, but I just don't like the fact they give us not the newest gen version, like why? They think most players PC's can't handle it? Nonsense reason.
