This period in Wrestling Video Games.

By Scott Keith on 20 September 2024

Good morning Mr. Keith, hope all is well. A little background; I used to buy the WWE games annually, ending at wwe 14. Then it got the same quickly, like how the new NHL2k feels just like a patch update of the year before, instead of an actual whole new game. After that I have only bought 3 wwe games since, 2k16, 18 & 22. only because the reviews were better than other versions and they were on sale a year after their release. I waited until Fight Forever was FREE! and got it, and yeah, could have been worse but could have been a whole hella' lot better.
I don't follow wwe nearly as much as I used to and the things that turn me off of buying it again: The legends are recycled from previous versions, and/or microtransactions over multiple DLCs, which i hate in every game as it is. The showcases/story modes recently have also been recycled, or the variety of it is tiresome quick. I love Rey Mysterio, but even in 22 I was already done with playing him halfway through that mode.
What would it take you to fully invest in a wrestling game again? and this is to the Blog too. Because Fight Forever wasn't what i expected, The next one I'm buying, first thing I'm doing is downloading other peoples AEW, NJPW & Legend CAW's and arenas, because that's what I would have more fun playing with. Also an in-depth honest to god General Manager/Owner Mode. Like Extreme Warfare Revenge details. Control every aspect of a business. Btw I still think your rating system is used in that.

All I want is an updated version of the AKI wrestling engine with better graphics and a good story and CAW mode so I can make everything I want or just download content to do it for me. That’s it. There’s a No Mercy mod called Legends 64 that comes really close but I want an actual game that I can buy and download on modern systems.
