Should I play WWE 2K24 in 2024?
The good
WWE 2K24 does introduce some promising features that fans have been asking for:
- New match types like special guest referee and ambulance matches.
- Improved graphics with realistic blood and sweat effects.
- Enhancements in customization, such as assigning crowd signs and updating wrestling gear.
- The ability to have more signature moves and finishers.
- Fun throwback vibes reminiscent of older Smackdown games.
- Some users love the classic feel and have found certain modes to be very engaging.
The bad
Unfortunately, the game suffers from significant issues that overshadow these improvements:
- Persistent bugs and crashes, especially in community creations and general gameplay.
- A broken AI system that frustrates many players, particularly in higher difficulty levels and multi-wrestler matches.
- Long load times for community creations and MyFaction mode.
- Poor customer support and unresolved issues affecting gameplay experience.
- Some features, including the MyFaction mode and submission mini-game, are seen as unfair or broken.
- A sentiment that the game feels too similar to WWE 2K23, rendering it uninspired and repetitive.
Verdict
WWE 2K24 is a mixed bag that offers some appealing new features but also carries over many frustrations from previous entries. If you’re a fan of WWE and don’t own WWE 2K23, you might find enough here to enjoy. However, given the overwhelming issues with AI, bugs, and crashes, it’s hard to recommend this game at full price. 🛑
If you’re still curious, wait for a sale or for patches to potentially address these problems. Otherwise, you might find yourself feeling more “Stone Cold Stunned” than entertained.👊
