WWE 2K22 was officially announced during night one of WrestleMania 37, in-game footage was shown with Rey Mysterio and Cesaro. After the disastrous WWE 2K20 was littered with bugs and other issues, 2K cancelled WWE 2K21, hopefully with that extra time in-between games, they hopefully worked out the kinks for 2K22. Is there anything you would like to see in WWE 2K22? Any older match types and/or modes you would like to see return? For me, if they can't add War Games as a match type, then I would love for them to take a page from Smackdown: HCTP, and have three-on-three Elimination Chamber matches again.

Take-Two Interactive have been very tight-lipped about the game which makes me very suspicious about it's quality. I presume it will be far more stable than the disasterous 2K20 release, but I can see the game being scaled back significantly with limited modes. I think the roster cuts will impact the game tremendously as well with season and universe mode being impacted by the change in personnel. The loss of Bray Wyatt will hurt tremendously given how much they've loved that character in past 2K games.
I can see the game being somewhat underrated as well with a few gameplay tweaks that make the game more enjoyable and it may receive a longer shelf life like 2K19 did. 2K19 has gone from being 'eh, it's an improvement but more of the same' to 'it's the apex of the series' and I can only see that reputation improving.
I think they should make the creative suite as great as possible. I'm not sure if the image uploader is PSN related but I'd look to bump that up and increase the number of superstar slots. I'd make sure all the AEW moves and taunts are available. I'd include a music and video uploader as well so you can upload titantrons and music.
One feature that would go a long way with me would be able to organise the superstar select screen. If you remember the AKI games, you could put wrestlers into groups of 9 in any order you want. I'd love a feature like that and group the performers how I want to. Navigating through a roster of 180 characters can be a chore, especially when I just want to pick up and play.
A customisable roster ala No Mercy is also the dream but I understand that will never happen.
One of my favourite features in Fire Pro Wrestling is being able to play custom music during matches. I love playing old school AKI music or the Day of Reckoning soundtrack during matches.
More animations in general, basically if something happened in the WWE in past 12 months or something historical happen let me replay it on the game. Let me poke out Rey Mysterio's eye dammit!
A HCTP type season mode would be sick too. Being able to take one wrestler, interact with other wrestlers backstage, interact with Sonya Deville and Adam Pierce to get matches I want. Inject it into my veins.
OR
A classic HCTP mode where you get to play a year of Attitude Era Raw or WCW Monday Nitro. That would be the dream...

Good shout out, with the image increase, Big Pete. I would love to see an increase with that, I was barely able to get everyone I wanted for my AEW universe mode roster, so that would be nice. As it is, I had to create a second PS account, just to have my all womens rosters, as well as an AEW one.

With the huge questionaire and all that stuff 2K tried to do to show they were listen to fans this time it better deliver. And hopefully a good GM since that was one of the highly requested features. And the AEW GM mode wasn't that good. Custom music was also highly requested and they reported it was so hopefully they find a way.
I am concern about the roster with the massive releases lately.

The game doesn't come out until March 2022 (instead of the usual October release), I guess that explains why not much has been released yet, as we're what seven months away until the game comes out.

They had 2 years and still need another 6 month. That is a risky move for sales since they won't have the holiday season boost.

While their roster reveals haven't been made yet, given both Joaquin Wilde and Montez Ford are in the game, I'm going to assume Angelo Dawkins and the rest of Legado Del Fantasma will be in as well.

The trend of the game being the year after its release needs to end and I hope this game is a sign of (despite external factors) save so many disappointed kids and confused parents
Will probably buy this on sale when 2k23 comes out

I think we're in the honeymoon phase of the game where influencers are putting over how well it plays and they show off the best models they have. Even then, that clip of Bianca Belair still looked really stiff and robotic so I can only imagine what some of the lesser animations look like.
As it always happens with these games, the first two weeks is usually just a showcase of how broken the game is and outside of hardcore fans it's difficult to tell if it's any good or not. I'm repeating myself, but WWE 2K19 only received it's positive reputation after 2K20 came out and it became clear that the WWE wasn't going to be able to put together as strong a roster moving forward.
Still I'm curious to see whether the extra time in development made a difference. I'm really interested to see what they do with CAW mode and whether they improve it or if it's somehow a step back. If there's more slots, more moves, more taunts etc. it could make up for the roster cuts.

gamerant.com/wwe-2k22-dlc-packs-characters/^^ So word going round, is the first set of DLC will consist of... Cactus Jack LA Knight Mr. T Rob Van Dam Stacy Keibler Yokozuna Honestly Cactus Jack, LA Knight, Rob Van Dam and Yokozuna I can get behind, but both Mr. T and Stacy Keibler seem like wasted slots in my opinion. Especially Stacy Keibler, who seems pretty random, at least with someone like Torrie Wilson I could at least see making sense, as she has appeared in a couple of Royal Rumble matches.

Apparently, all six of those wrestlers belong to different packs that will be released in the coming months. There will be 28 wrestlers in total with Logan Paul and Machine Gun Kelly also included. So far impressions of the game have been pretty positive with the only major complaint being MyGM mode and how they've simplified it. Otherwise the faster gameplay has been received well, fans are loving MyRise mode and there's no real game-breaking bugs. I just grabbed the Woo Pack and made sure to download the last few remaining CAWs on 2K19. I have two saves one is a WWE 17/18 save with the rest of the roster being made up of ECW legends, 2018 NJPW/Indie stars (if you had a move included in the DLC Pack chances are I downloaded a CAW of you) among others. The other is a WCW 1998 with all the arenas and about 60 or so wrestlers. I was actually surprised by how small the roster is when you eliminate job guys. I'll post a complete list of my first save, I'm curious to hear who you guys had in 2K19 and if you guys have any different plans for 2K22? If I remember correctly, Lony you had a WOW theme going?

Yeah, I have a WOW Universe Mode, along with three others, over two different profiles. The other three being MEW (Main-Event Wrestling with the main-eventers/legends), a modern day universe mode and the second profile I mentioned, which is basically an AEW universe mode.
The AEW universe will be why I continue playing 2K19, alongside 2K22, at least until I can build-up a good AEW universe modenin 2K22.

So many themes I miss from 2k20 and a few newer themes I was hoping for didn't make it.
No undisputed era, rebel heart, hit row, ec3, and either corbins previous themes but all his themes are good. So at least I can find a use for happy corbin theme.

I'm not sure how I feel about MyGM mode, it's not bad I guess, although I dislike that you can't have tag team championship matches. Having said that, I love that in universe mode you can play the classic way and/or by picking a superstar and playing through universe mode with that character (and it keeping track of the win/lose record).
Speaking of universe mode, I'll post the ones I set up on WWE 2K22, within the next couple of days.

So an interesting bug, if you go to tag team entrance and preview Seth and Murphy template. It plays Seth Monday night messiah theme and have the videos from then. But if you try to assign it all the spots are blank since they can't be selected in create an entrance.

So my women's universe is a mixture of in-game wrestlers and community creations (including future DLC, which I'll replace the CC versions with once released). I also downloaded three championship belts (women’s, TV and tag team titles) and did a draft for Raw and Smackdown. Anyways, here’s how the rosters for both brands turned out… Raw Roster{Spoiler}AJ Lee Alexa Bliss Becky Lynch Beth Phoenix Bianca Belair Chyna Kay Lee Ray Lacey Evans Lita Mia Yim Piper Nevin (Doudrop) Raqeul Gonzalez Rhea Ripley Ronda Rousey Sarray Stephanie McMahon Trish Stratus Zelina Vega
Tag Teams & Stables Bella Twins (Brie & Nikki Bella) Blonde Muscle (Dana Brooke & Mandy Rose) The Super Squad (Mighty Molly & Nikki A.S.H.) ------------ Pretty Mean Sisters (Ivory & Jacqueline) ------------ Power Alliance (Nia Jax & Tamina Snuka) The First Ladies (Maria Kanellis & Maryse) The Riott Squad (Liv Morgan, Ruby Riott & Sarah Logan) Smackdown Roster{Spoiler}Alicia Fox Alundra Blayze Asuka Bea Priestley Carmella Charlotte Flair Lana Mickie James Naomi Natalya Neidhart Paige Shayna Baszler Sonya Deville Toni Storm Xia Li
Tag Teams & Stables Kabuki Warriors (Asuka, Io Shirai, Kairi Sane) Team Kick (Dakota Kai & Tegan Nox) The War Goddesses (Ember Moon & Shotzi Blackheart) ------------ Boss & Hug Connection (Bayley & Sasha Banks) ------------ Absolution 2.0 (Paige, Gigi Dolin, Jacy Jayne) Iconic Duo (Billie Kay & Peyton Royce) The Way (Candice LeRae & Indi Hartwell) However, before officially starting my universe mode, I ran a couple of shows outside of it to determine my first ever champions (champions will be able to compete on both shows, however, when they drop their title they’ll go back to their original shows they were drafted to). Anyways, like I said I ran a few shows outside of universe mode (create a PPV would be a great feature to have), including an eight women tournament to crown my first WOW TV champion, tag team qualifiers for a four way tag team ladder match for the tag titles, as well as stealing a page from Vengeance 2001 and pitted the four default women’s champions against one another, as Becky Lynch took on Mandy Rose and Charlotte Flair went up against Kay Lee Ray, with the winners facing each other. Unofficial First Universe Show... Rise Of Champions Results{Spoiler} Singles MatchBecky Lynch (Raw Champion) def Mandy Rose (NXT Champion) Singles MatchCharlotte Flair (SD Champion) def Kay Lee Ray (NXT UK Champion) WOW Tag Team Championships Four-Way Tag Team Ladder MatchKabuki Warriors def Bella Twins, Boss & Hug Connection, The Iconic Duo Qualifying Match Up’s{Spoiler}Bella Twins def The Riott Squad The Iconic Duo def The Super Squad Boss & Hug Connection def Power Alliance Kabuki Warriors def Absolution 2.0

Went to myFaction since it always popped up during start up. The four guys was a mix bag but the women I got are some of my favorites. I hit a button and got instantly sucked into a 4 on 4 online match. It was a long match since my opponent keep switching people to help break up pinfalls and submissions but end up winning with Sasha, Bayley, Bianca, and Billie Kay with the Bank Statement.
The rest of the time been doing myRise. Can't figure out the path to get the Raw women's title. But have been a dominate women's midcard champion. And just switch brands in the men's division from Raw to nXt. After being one of Seth's disciples, he turned on me because I got to close to a world title shot, took out the rest of the disciples, and pretty much became the new Messiah after they all turned on him.

Finally caved & bought this, installing so only can play exhibition as a small roster of wrestlers.
Mysterio seems absolutely useless, had a match against Big E & got smoked like Christmas ham twice. Otherwise is good fun from the little I’ve played.
