![]() Entrance intervals can be customized in 30-second increments.Confining wins to pinfalls, submissions or both.Players can use WWE Superstars, Legends, or created wrestlers for men’s and women’s matches.Make sure to head over to read the full details. Below are some bullet points from the latest Ringside Report. But these sorts of issues tend to always stick around in the full version of the WWE 2K games, so I don't have a lot of hope for them getting ironed out in 2K23 in a month's time before launch.WarGames can be played in three venues, including NXT TakeOver, Survivor Series and a venue specific to MyRise. ![]() I played an early build of the game, of course. Bianca Belair's elongated braid did look a bit too stiff while she swung it around during her entrance and Charlotte Flair's robe clipped through her skin per usual. Sadly, I did spot your usual array of odd glitches involving wrestlers' gear and hair looking a bit off. ![]() I am a bit disappointed that 2k23 is still being made for last-gen consoles, though - I'm confident that this year's WWE 2K would've gotten a nice bump in graphical prowess if it was only developed for current-gen hardware. And to be honest, I have no complaint on that front since 2K22 looks pretty good. ![]() Pressing any button within the confines of a red meter in order to kick out is just fine, plus the near-falls hit even harder when that meter grows smaller & smaller as your superstar accrues more damage. The new pinning system doesn't rock the boat to the point where I missed the previous one, either. At this point, 2K22 set up a scenario for 2K23 that can pretty much be translated as "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." The same arcadey feel of the in-ring action from before is still a thing here and I'm glad nothing major has been done to alter it. But alas, 2K23 sticks to the series' traditional single superstar Showcase Mode for better or worse.ĭuring the entirety of my WWE 2K23 preview session, I settled into the same cadence I've grown used to with 2K22. But this time, I'd love to see it allow fans to play out the biggest matches of all time across WWE, WCW, and ECW. And to be quite honest, I'd much rather prefer a Showcase Mode that replicates what 2K14's "30 Years of WrestleMania" mode did. My gut's telling me I'll get to play as Triple H, Randy Orton, Batista, Edge, and many more.īut I did get a bit sad when I realized we're not gonna get to play as CM Punk during his WWE Championship victory against Cena at Money in the Bank 2011. While playing, I thought about the other possible matches that'll be included in this year's Showcase. Pulling off three German Suplexes on "Prototype" Cena and landing a spinning kick to the back of Cena's head while he's laid out over the fan barricade looked & felt great. ![]() Rob Van Dam from ECW One Night Stand 2006.Īnd just as you'd expect, the Showcase Mode structure is the same as its ever been - watch a quick cinematic that explains the storyline going into the match, then proceed to complete a number of special objectives in order to reenact the live-action sequences that transpired in real life. Kurt Angle during his WWE SmackDown debut in 2002 and Cena vs. For my WWE 2K23 preview playtime, two major bouts were included - Cena vs. However, I got a bit more excited when I find out we'd actually be given the chance to play out the matches where Cena lost against some of his biggest rivals. So when I heard that 2K23's cover boy John Cena would be the focus of this year's Showcase Mode match playlist, I just went "okay.that's cool." I'm not the biggest Cena fan in the world, but I do respect him immensely for his legendary run as the face of the WWE from the mid-2000s to the mid-2010s. Now I have to admit - Showcase Mode is a decent single-player detour that I definitely got the most out of via Rey Mysterio's historic run from 2k22. ![]()
