First off. In its current state, this game is so flawed and I hate that. Multiple crashes in the MyCareer mode. Incoherent storylines. Bad backstage area with awkward animations. Promo engine is so boring to play. This is before I talk about the constantly broken multiplayer that freaks out in a 1 vs 1 private match and de-synchronizes the action.

But with all that said...

Any game that can put a stupid grin on my face like this can not be given anything but a recommendation.

If you want to play a wrestling game for stupid out of nowhere moments and absolutely on point action then get this game. After playing 2k16 and 17, this game has got the difficulty perfectly. No longer will it take 5 finishers to beat Zack Ryder with Brock Lesnar (Sorry Zack, Woo Woo Woo). Instead you can finish many matches with one signature and finisher, and that feels great.

This game need polish and 2K have a really big chance with this game. The foundations are there and when the stability of the game catches up with the ideas that are displayed in WWE 2k18 then, it will become a definite must buy.
