WWE 2K22 Showcase Mode is Pure Nostalgia For Older Fans

gamerant.com:

WWE 2K22 is out in the wild, and many fans were likely worried heading into release. While it was promising many changes, the universally-panned reviews of WWE 2K20 likely left a sour taste in many mouths.

Now, it seems that the consensus is pretty simple: WWE 2K22 is a good building block for future titles. Sure, everything from character creation to game modes like WWE 2K22’s MyRise Mode could be improved, but that can be said of any game at any time.

Interesting WWE 2K22 Video Compares Graphics to Older WWF Games

There are rumors that EA and WWE have been in talks over the game title, but to be fair, this is too strong of a foundation to let go of. Its particular approach is also good for fans of classic games or for fans of WWE who may have tuned out. It doesn’t hit the same heights as games like Here Comes The Pain, Smackdown vs. Raw, or Smackdown! Shut Your Mouth, but it is in the same circle as them. For older fans, the Showcase Mode is pure nostalgia too.

If there’s one thing that could be asked of WWE 2K22’s Showcase Mode, it’s perhaps that more matches and more thorough storylines are included. But there’s no doubt that plaything through Rey’s matches against Eddie Guerrero, JBL, Batista, and so on is pure nostalgia for fans of this era of WWE. Having Rey Mysterio comment on the matches as well is an added bonus for those looking to relive the classic days, whether they currently watch or not.

On top of that, it’s a great way for nostalgic fans returning for Rey Mysterio in WWE 2K22 to see where he’s come today. If they’re not actively watching WWE, then they may not know about the rivalry matches against Seth Rollins and Murphy, his son Dominik Mysterio’s involvement in that and overall debut, and their tag team.
