Are Wrestling Games Getting Worse?

Some of you may know that the latest instalment in the WWE gaming franchise 2K20 was released late last year to generally poor reviews. Some of this was based on graphical issues, but mostly it was due to the many glitches and bugs found – many of which are hilarious to witness.

Fire Pro needs more love. The last PS4 title gets regular playtime from me.

I hear that there are financial troubles at the studio, but I'm hopeful for a Switch port one of these days.

Anyone remember Giant Gram Wrestling on the Dreamcast .....

[Rambokind]

Ah hell yes! That was loads of fun.

[Acecalibur]

Fire Pro just gets better. Buy it.

I have Fire Pro for PS4 and PC but it seems more of like a Sim creator rather than people actually playing out matches. I still dont like anything as much as the N64 games

Golden Era of wrestling games in the Golden Era of wrestling. I've been contemplating going back and getting a N64 and getting those classic's
WWF Wrestlemania 2000
WWF No Mercy
WCW vs. nWo Revenge

[micdagoat19]

Yeah its the only wrestling games I still play consistently for fun.

[TheTony316]

Yes. The last great wrestling game was svr 2006.

[addictedtochaos]

Yes, the WWE ones at least. The last good one was 2K14 and the last great one was Here Comes the Pain.

The greatest ones were on the N64. Wcw vs Nwo, Wrestlemania 2000 and No Mercy. Classics. Wrestling games will never be that good. After 2K14 the franchise just took a hot $hit on itself and rubbed it in, year after year.

They have gotten worse. Wrestling games piqued on the N64. I did have a lot of fun with the Day of Reckoning series on the GCN as well as the two Def Jam games and the Smackdown series on the PS2 but after that things went down hill fast. I tapped out once the games started becoming yearly releases with little to show for them.

[battlegrog]

Exactly,Nothing has been good since the n64 games. I dont know if that studio shut down .I heard rumors that those creators are interested in making an AEW game

[XxINFERNUSxX]

My favorite ones were back in the day on the N64. Loved WCW vs NWO

[Shuckylad]

WWF wrestle fest was and still is the greatest wrestling title imo.

[FanboyPolice]

Wrestling games are not getting worse. 2K is literally KILLING every sport franchise it has the hands on.

I know EA bad, but at least they are not making FIFA and Madden a living hell for fans.

2K killed MLB 2K series, letting everything for The Show, which IMO is not better, and is exclusive. I want to play it on PC.
2K is slowly and painfully killing NBA. I'm glad EA have jumped in with NBA Live but I'm not so sure they will continue.
2K is KILLING WWE. The team behind THQ and all the N64/Dreamcast games should really take the control of this.

[nowitzki2004]

Wrestling games have been bad for about 10 years if you only play WWE games.

[Father Murder X]

The yearly releases is what is killing it. There is no need for it to come out every year. That with the fact that they are not fun to play anymore.
