It's so smart to move the game release to march/April considering that's when WrestleMania takes place so the hype is at an all time high, as opposed to previously when they would release in the fall

[@heteshkumar748]

Yeah but not having the WM arena in the game is gonna make it feel so outdated

[@lonzellstreet73021]

@@heteshkumar748 it wouldn’t have been in the game regardless, because the game usually dropped the fall before the date of the game’s title, meaning fall of 2022.

[@Youraveragegamer_97]

The game releases unfinished anyway, what does it matter

[@granthendricks7634]

Best time Imo would be shortly after the rumble and before mania. But also try to have a somewhat finished product? Bet it’s not even playable cuz of bugs the first week or 2 it’s almost tradition now

[@IIITroubleIII]

Best time is literally Black Friday from a business day standpoint which is why most game developers strategically choose around that quarter specifically

[@boodastillstanding2636]

just imagine 20 years ago, we would have had to pre-order to play as Fred Durst 😂

[@declangaming24]

Yes but not digital pre orders it was retail pre orders but Fred durst wasn't a pre order bonus he was a unlockable character.

It is moderately criminal that Cora Jade and more of the NXT 2.0 talent was not included in 2K22. Along with War Games and Cody, the possibility of having accurate Bron Breakker, Cora Jade, Zoey Stark, Roxanne Perez, Creed Brothers, Ivy Nile, Nikkita Lyons, Carmelo Hayes, Grayson Waller, and Toxic Attraction is primarily what interests me in this game. If they have the Iron Survivor Challenge from NXT Deadline, then I'm definitely buying.

Shawn Michaels has the same character model from 2K22 as it had the EG band on his arms. Does that mean that if RAW 2005 and WrestleMania 21 arenas are in the game, it will be the same as in 2K22? Can't they remove the low rider and match text on those arenas?

Tbh I'd rather see a single match played through than a bunch of short clips connected. A full match would better demonstrate the claims they've made about the changes. It'd show us how the stamina system is going to work, how well they've addressed the smoothness of play, glitches, and clipping issues. If they'd done anything regarding the hair physics (which isn't near the top of my list, but it is some other peoples)...
