This game in my opinion, has been the most fun I’ve ever had with a WWE game in YEARS. While I enjoyed 19, it didn’t hit the same level as 14 in terms of sheer enjoyment. And 22 definitely felt as fun as the classics for me, despite the issues. Let’s hope the next games after this one actually use the foundation left here and develop even more good games.

This feels like the only review that actually comments on the fact it crashes. It happens way too much

You gotta love how Alex is always finding a way to put the Raimi Spider-Man in his videos

My main issue is the lack promos in Universe mode. Promos were great for organically starting rivalries or tag teams

I am once again here to compliment the editing.

I have 2k22, and have not put it down since playing it. Being a person who was stuck playing 2k19 because I avoided 2k20, I could not wait to get my hands on it, and honestly any issues I've had have been so minor, I don't even remember what they were. I just enjoy it!

“The sky opened up and out from the heavens came this game’s saving grace, MyRise. And when I saw this mode, I definitely did rise.” This is the comedy that I subscribed for.

It feels like the old PS2 games in a whole lot of ways. Sadly it's also got the same issues, like running attacks missing, hit detection with weapons can be terrible and springboard & toprope moves are a bloody gamble, while the AI has a heatseeking version of them... However, it IS a very fun game overall and I'm convinced it would be best if development sticks to a 2 year rhythm from now on. Just like so many other games would profit of.

2k22, 2k19 and 2k14 are probably the best WWE games 2k have made

While there is definitely room for improvement. Specifically with weapons, tables and ladders. The MyRise mode for me is my go-to. I've made Glass Joe a Cruiserweight champion and had him dominate every roster he's been on. It shows a lot of work was put into that mode, but things like MyFaction and MyGM were tacked on and felt too much like those Fifa card collection games we've seen time and time again. I understand that's where the big profits come from, but I wish it was gone all together. I do like the new updates they've added though. Like the NXT 2.0 arena and the Banzai pack with 5 new characters. To me, while it's not the BEST WWE game. To me that's SvR 2011, it's a new direction with the series that doesn't completely reinvent the wheel; but more so tries to smooth it out.

Impossible to play on ps4 it crashes every 5 minutes

They just need to stay down longer when taking powermoves, I can never hit a top rope dive because my opponent decides to get up almost immediately after taking a powerbomb or DDT.

How could it "still" be something it never was 😎

The GM Mode recently added tag belts for men and women in a patch as well as more match booking slots on normal shows. While I don't expect the depth from 07-08 I'm confident that 2K wouldn't have added those things to MyGM if they weren't willing to listen to feedback for improvement.

One thing I have yet to understand is why, when you're facing the AI, it sometimes stays down for the 3 after only getting a body part into yellow and hitting a signature but sometimes it's in red and you hit a finisher and they kick out.

“…When I seen this mode, I certainly did rise.” Drink. Lost. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

How MyRise goes: **starts title storyline** **does 3 matches and gets title shot** **bullshit happens and you loose title shot** **do 6 more matches for rematch** **win** **title gets stolen from you**

With MyRise i think it lacks continuity and they just ignore connecting storylines. One day you are IC Champion, the next your competing for the Universal Title without being mentioned as IC Champ. One day your US Champion but then you receive a text where Tozawa pretends to be Vince to send you to a chosen location by him and attacks you for the 24 title you won way before

I really like MyRise a lot, but there were two things that put me off about it: 1. There’s only one voice actor for men and one for women. If you wanted to play a black, white, Asian, or any other kind of superstar for men, you just need to break the immersion and accept the fact you’ll have the voice of a Hispanic man. I’m not saying to have a super detailed voice system, just have like other video games have and get like 3-5 voices to choose from. Yeah yeah yeah I get it you have to pay that many voice actors for all the lines in the game, but 2K has the budget. 2. And this one is way more major-being a champion feels meaningless in the game outside of the storylines in which you get them. You will be listed as champion under the “Champions” tab, but that’s about it. You don’t come to any matches with the belt, you don’t get announced as the champion anywhere. It’s like you never became champion. I remember beating Roman Reigns for the Universal title, then going and getting the storyline done for the IC title as well. I expected there to be some storyline or dialogue at the GM’s office about how I had to choose one title to vacate because I couldn’t hold two singles titles at the same time, but nope. Nothing. Even 2k19 had you take the Universal title everywhere with you after the main story. I don’t mean to go on about it, but in a mode that I genuinely have a lot of fun in and enjoy immersing myself in a lot, that part feels EXTRA bad to me.

It's the best damn WWE game we've gotten in years

i enjoyed GM mode a bit more when they added extra matches per show and tag team titles to worry about, but i agree its still a bit bare bones.assume if it stays for the next game it will be pretty cool Id actually be fine with them doing a game every two years if they kept up the improvements, to be honest

I can say I at least stood a chance in this GM mode. In SvR 07 and 08 was always slammed on 😂😂

Then need to add back chain wrestling and whatever other simulation aspects they removed. You don't see NBA 2K taking out the step back and crossover.

I love this man content .. Best edits on RU-vid period 💯💯

I just discovered your channel. It's absolutely brilliant. Hope you get all the subs! Feel like we've played the exact same games growing up

It's a small detail, but I wish they would bring back the mouthguard teeth option. I know it wouldn't really be seen, but at least I'd know it was there and it would make sense for some wrestling styles.

Your editing is so entertaining I always look forward to your videos my god it's so good

I agree with most of your commentary, though as my Universe mode jjst blue screened my PS4 3x today, and community creations crashed it 4x, it still needs a lot of polishing up.

One of my biggest gripes with this game is you can't do body morphing or customization any more

Wwe22 is by far the best wrestling game in awhile. the pace is awesome you can gas it and finish someone off quick or take your time for a more grind feel also I’m getting a good number of matches in a short time frame online and hours can pass by bc it’s that engaging.

You deserve 1 million subscribers, I was laughing through this way to hard 😂😂

7:34 lmao, your editing creativity is awesome chief, new sub

I'll give 2K the credit they deserve, because they do keep adding to the GM mode with various patches, most recently the tag titles. I'm hoping they give us the United States and Intercontinental titles. Hopefully add Royal Rumble too as a PPV since that is missing. So, i do hope 2K does keep listening to fan feedback as they've been really good with it and improving the game more to have a good replay value and be worth the money it is. I've personally enjoyed 22 a lot and its fast pace action since high flyers are exactly that, you do run out of stamina too i've noticed, even if you don't see the meter at the bottom, you do see the blue circle going red or empty. So, it is there.

idk if you'll read this Alex but you're one of my favorite RU-vidrs. I truly know the game is good when YOU'RE the one reviewing it. I'm glad to see such a wrestling fan such as yourself. Have a damn good day.

The edits are hilarious keep up the great work!!

i look forward to ur uploads man i enjoyed this

This game has been a big improvement. Personally it's just little things I wish they'd implement. I don't like the control scheme for grappling the 2k19 system of just direction and X is way simpler and flows a bit better for matches. Certain moves can feel a bit stiff. For caw stuff bring back advanced entrance even if it's a smaller version like in 2k15, and bring back full body customization. If I want a 5'2 obese man the size of Nickacado yet weigh to be a cruiserweight let me have that. Not the pre defined bodies that may not work for every caw type. For My Rise I'd just add like an internal time tracker so you can see how much in game time has passed, giving you urgency do I want a main roster debut right off the bat or do I wanna spend a year in developmental doing the other objectives. Currently it just feels like a jumble of this happened and then this and this, peppering in little news bits from other shows to show a whole little world passing by.

I got right behind 19 for me over the last 7 years, only thing I wish they kept or have the option to bring back is chain wrestling mainly when I be playing universe pretending like it's real life

It's crazy that you're currently at 88k subscribers. Your content is dope bro! Been subbed since last year it's nuts how far you've come on RU-vid as a content creator. Keep grinding to 100k💪💪

I really do like this game but my biggest gripe is the fact that until recently, there was no entrances for the online mode and even now, it’s still bugged and crashes for now. You also can’t use custom arenas online and CAWs don’t have the textures on them if it’s custom so they look different on other peoples screens. Small things tbh but overall this game is a refreshing difference and I with they just add the features moving on.

I love watching this video couple of times, and now with WWE 2K23 on the horizon, I really can't wait for Alex's review of the game

I really personally enjoy the game a lot most fun I’ve had with a WWE game in awhile. Game is a good base for future games especially the potential I see with their version of GM mode I do prefer the SVR:2007s GM mode I can really get some enjoyment out of their version. The MyRise is nice I do have some nitpick complaints about it but there’s a lot of fun to be have their. I do enjoy the new gameplay it just feels right to me when I play it It’s only recently I’ve been having bug issues with CAWs not loading into entrances with issues when creating championships but other than that it’s been a blast Only issues I have is stuff with formation of tag teams just not working right with their entrances and in MyRise when I win a title I’m only acknowledged as champ and walk out with the title when I’m doing a title defense

Your editing is god tier my man

9:11 I love the out of context so much💀

Universe mode does get a bit stale at times for me ,sometimes I just wish it had some of the elements from my rise in universe mode, sometimes I don't feel like I'm earning anything

Your absolutely right dude I feel older games should carry the amount of nostalgia and details choices etc but that’s what the devs don’t get just cause it’s old doesn’t mean we don’t love it anymore I wish I could go back and play the old WWE games and not these broken ones.

clicked the video for the topic, I´ll click the channel for your editing and commentary. It was hilarious, i can see the inspiration from IH´s style, and i loved every second of it!

I recommend you do make a 2k account bc the communication creations are cross platform so you can get some amazing characters and superstars that are technically not supposed to be in the game like the rock from the 2000s

The problem is that the people who like the game are much louder than those that have fair criticisms. Hell, they’re the reason we got this shitty game. People wanted an arcade game after years of whining and boy did they get it. Sadly, we all got it. The combos and clinch system ruin any attempts at simulation.

The gameplay is a disaster with the top notch graphics, gameplay like this should've just stayed in Battlegrounds.

I searched your videos Alex and I'm surprised you haven't done a video about Def Jam: Fight for New York. It's a great mix of over top brutal wrestling moves and other fighting styles.

By far one of the most enjoyable reviews I've ever watched. Subbed.

This is my first WWE game so take what I say with a grain of salt since I don't really know much about the past games. Honestly though? This is an absolute blast. The attention to detail is amazing and I've spent hours just trying to hear all the different dialog or manger/wrestler interactions in the game. The amount of Easter Eggs and goodies to be found is STAGGERING at that's just in exhibition mode. This honestly feels like the devs said "Here's the entire roaster, make your dreams come true kid." Are there issues? Oh yeah without a doubt, but they don't stop me from just having an absolute blast with the game. Also it lets me throw Vince off of hell in a cell as much as I damn well please and it's practically therapeutic. 10/10 for that alone.

13:01 Rest In Peace 2K19 thank you for those 3 years of fun.

No youtuber caw. Sad! Good work as always mate!

I actually love the stamina bar, makes for realistic moves after so long.

In the 1.09 update they added tag championship to My GM & they add an extra match to the card in the normal & hard modes

While I'm pretty disappointed that advanced entrance creations isn't in this game, I am personally glad that you can now freely customize your Career Mode guy or gal as you intend them to look, I HATED the loot crate RNG shite of the past games if the game is supposed to be MyCareer or MyRise or My Sharona or whatever then at least have My Guy/Gal look how I want them to look and act.

I'm always a fan of the review style and depth you go for you have a wrestling channel with a style like no . Keep up the good work!

Oh yeah with the new update tag champions are added in gm mode and women’s tag champs as well and u can have more matches as well so u have a little bit more variety in the mode

Playing this game is like going back into dating after having a horrible 3 year relationship. You want to have an open mind, but you're haunted by your past experience.

Wow. I did not see that coming. I have not the game but I really thought seeing the other games of 2K WWE that this one was going to be bad also. Your reviews about these games are always fun and accurate. Maybe I'm going to buy the game cause it looks good and the gameplay looks fun😁 Great video again 👍🏻

All I want is custom entrances and OMG moments back. Their excuses of everything crashing isn’t an excuse to take out huge parts of the game

There is a lot to do on 2k22 from story mode to gm mode only thing that's bad is the lack of new matches and Universe

Man, I can’t tell you the last time I was still playing a wrestling game a month+ after it released, probably 2k14. But they knocked it out of the park with ‘22. Best one they’ve made in many years.

2k22 is great but not Phenomenal but for a reboot of the series more or less it’s a great starting point to build from

The game is simple enough for my kids to play (it’s so fun to watch them jump up and down and cheer while they play) and complicated enough for me to enjoy as well. It’s something that we have enjoyed playing together which we couldn’t do w/ 2k20 because the controls were overly complicated, especially the kick out and submission mini games. There are also enough save files to let them have their own. This game is 1,000,000x better than the last one.

I very much appreciate all the nL Inc clips

At least we can all agree it’s a million times better than 20

I just wish it was easier to put people thru tables, and have more freedom. The money in the bank match is literally unplayable. I left it running in the background coz I couldn’t win, so I thought I let the AI win to move on - 1hr later no one had still won.

Only really had a few problems with 2k22 like that they stripped some pretty fun features for basically no reason. Like you can't jump from the top of the ladder to the outside of the ring anymore, no leaning ladders on the ropes and running out of the ring, and so on. Universe mode was also broken as fuck when I played it, you would often be put into mirror matches with your own superstar or have to fight in matches that you aren't even apart of. Also felt the create an entrance feature lacked a lot, like you have HHH and HBK but no option for the DX theme (But there is the option for the DX walkout) so if you try to create the tag team it just looks weird, same for Evolution.

Your underrated, I subscribed

It never sucked in the first place

When I tried a to sneak attack my cpu opponent the referee didn’t come into the ring

This guy is hilarious and although I was watching it to see something about the game,it ended up making me laugh more instead 😂😂 From the editing,to the talks and others,you're the best

The editing on this video is iconic. Have you copyrighted this style of organised brilliant chaos!

When u play Money in the Bank in my rise mode ladders tip over for no reason a lot Then the Money in the Bank storylines in both in the male and female are stupid In the female if you try the heel path and sneak attack Naomi, Charlotte attack your character before the bell ring and then the game take your briefcase away despite the match never start which is stupid In the Male when you face Roman then Kevin Owen sneak into your title match with a second money in the bank briefcase and steal your win everyone know they can’t have two money in the bank briefcases

Did it ever suck or were ppl just nitpicking? Cause the game is dope if you ask me.

Best channel by a long shot 💜

One thing I can admit is I hate how the tables always fall down when you bump into them and I wish they had more DLC but not milk us for it, but besides that this lowkey one of the best wwe game in the last decade

Agree with everything tho I really enjoy MyGM, yes it's repetitive but now they've added in the tag belts and extra matches a week it's decent. Playing it 2 player as well helps

Why are the controls so Dammm complicated tried playing casually with my die hard wrestling friends and it just sucked

😆bro this is the best review on RU-vid man keep up the good work.the best part was toward the end when you said i can finally stop playing 2k19 that was the pipe bomb and i felt the same way after 2k20 and 2k battlegrounds this game felt like the second coming of Christ 😆😂😈

Even I have to give them credit. The graphical fidelity is super good. It reminds me of The Matrix tech demo in UE5 where it's like detailed CGI, juuust that you can easily tell it's still a game but still, wow. Btw, keep bringing Tobey the Homie, loving the ever growing amount of appearances.

2K22 is too unstable and limited for my liking. No advanced entrances and body sliders were a deal-breaker for me. 2K19 is my cup of tea.

I just started playing WWE 2K22, I haven’t played a wrestling game since 2K15, and they overcomplicated the controls. Maybe it’s muscle memory, but I’m old enough to remember that the bumper buttons were what to use when reversing. Granted, it’s taken some time to get used to, but still. MASSIVE improvement to WWE 2K20 though.

I'm starting to notice that they actually took out more moves than they added lol. What a step back... Never take out moves. The more varieties the better...

Do watchdogs series next I want to here your opinion on it your videos are so engaging

after playing the game for well over a month now i can proudly say that i have had the most fun playing a wwe game since 2k14. the gameplay isn’t broken or slow and the graphics are a massive improvement from 2k20. the only complaints i have for this game is that the game feels a bit watered down at times, like im glad gm mode is back and after the 1.09 patch where they added tag titles ive found myself enjoying the mode a bit more but it still is lackluster if you were to pair it to svr. another small complaint i have is that the roster feels underwhelming with limited legends and alt attires. also out of curiosity who tf plays myfaction

It's a great game ngl Keep the content don't forgot ur channel

The only gripe with MyRise is quite simply the ending. Because there isn't one. I was hoping for some really big storyline that connects everything to the finale, like a completion reward for the game, y'know? I sorta love and hate the mode for this reason, but that's just me.

I love your editiiiiiiing😂😂

You know 2k23 should bring back road to wrestlemania alongside the career mode to make the replay value it shoud be more like the ones from svr 09-11 to make it actually good Though i would love me some ecw/wcw invasions but its was used before

The only bad thing (for me) about 2K22 is something that isn't even the fault of WWE. It's about AEW signing many wrestlers so many of them will not be in the game. I remember many wrestlers missing because they wrestled for WCW so when WWE bought WCW and they started to include legends you had from 2002 almost all popular wrestlers included (for example SvR 2006 or 2K14 roster).

Gym mode did add tag and 4 matches to regular shows recently

Your videos are pretty darn hilarious

Honestly gameplay wise i haven’t enjoyed one like this since 2k14, for me it’s the game modes that disappoint. The showcase is barely a showcase of rey’s great moments. The my rise feels repetitive and has no sense of time. GM mode is still far too restrictive but a good start. However this is genuinely a great step in the right direction

The amount of people that love this game or think it's good is staggering, I guess lots of people like the taste of shit.

ALEX IS THE MOST UNDERRATED RU-vidR.....HE DOES SO MUCH EDITING 😭😭 HE DESERVES ATLEAST 500K
