If your last game was WWE 2K16, then sure, why not. If you have WWE 2K17, you should probably just wait a year. They should be doing these every two years, improving by leaps and bounds and finally doing something about the bugs that plague the engine. It’s not really meant to be an annual game. Nowadays, you’re either stuck with having to mess around with a created wrestler or – when they do have 2K Showcase – you’re stuck playing a fixed set of guys.īut in the end, WWE 2K18 has the same issue as its predecessors. It used to be that you got the choice between being your favorite wrestler or a man of your own design. Once again, there’s no 2K Showcase mode, but even if that was there, it just shows the problem with the WWE 2K games’ one-player campaigns. Loot boxes are paid for with in-game currency instead of real currency, so there’s that, but it still puts a bad taste in my mouth. All the while, wrestlers have worse dialogue than on TV and you have to deal with the needless disaster that is… *sigh* …loot boxes. As you build your created wrestler up from NXT to the main roster, you cut a bunch of promos, interact with people backstage to do sidequests, and ultimately have to do matches over again because you didn’t get enough stars in your performance. The developers continue to try and figure out the formula for a one-player career mode with M圜areer, building on the last couple installments and turning it into a mode that still doesn’t quite work.
