[@EMWFigureShelf]

Great review man. I always get the urge to pop the game you’re talking about back in to just have fun and maybe see the game differently. The biggest thing I feel like with these 2K games is, it just feels like with them being so controversial for how glitchy or empty or stiff they’ve been compared to the SD/SVR line, that time literally flew. An entire generation of consoles (PS4 and XB1) is now on more numbered days in favor of the new consoles when it feels like 6 years ago of personally getting a PS4 was just yesterday. Hopefully in the future the WWE games can be great but until then, I have more hope for the future AEW game.

@@kingkayfabe5358 I just didn't expect this video that's all

I highly doubt most of you are going to believe me but for those of you that bought the game on launch day you'll remember that you were not able to have custom graphics appear during Superstar entrances. This was an issue since WWE 13. Custom arenas are one of the main selling points to me and by not being able to have a custom graphic appear in the mini Tron area of the stage completely broke The usefulness of a create an arena feature. fast forward to WWE 2K16 and I found out that the issue was still not resolved. I took it upon myself to contact 2K themselves. Through their forum and their phone number when it was still active. I made a short video demonstrating the issue with the create an arena feature. about a month after they actually fixed the issue and then allowed users to have custom logos appear in the mini Tron areas during Superstar entrances. This was absolutely due to my persistence. Again I don't expect many to believe me but I thought it would be a fun piece of information to share on a video talking about 2K16.

[@Travybear1989]

Not a fan personally. Played them all and to be completely honest all of the WWE2K games feel mostly the same. 2k19 had a good but overly linear story while this game had the opposite problem as the story was nearly absent. It took me over a year in-game to get the NXT title which translated to about 40-50 hours of playtime because I couldn't get a title shit despite being number one contender for like 10 months of that time. 2K15,16, and 17 have the same problem. Grinding your way to the top of the contenders just to be stuck there for ages is just a pain and the rivalry system just didn't seem to do much for me as I'd still get non-title match after non-title match for months (even on PPV's). The wrestling itself and the roster was solid but the story mode was horrible.
