10 Cruel Tricks Video Games Played On Wrestling Fans
6. Money In The Bank Matches Take FOREVER - WWE 2K
Love or hate the WWE 2K games, most will surely agree that multi-person matches - and especially Money in the Bank matches - take way too damn long to get through.
Due to Money in the Bank matches revolving around a rather awkward and arcane briefcase-unlocking minigame while paired to wildly overactive AI opponents, it can take literally hours to win a match.
That's without even getting into how over-sensitive the ladders are: just look at them in the wrong way and they'll fall over.
The path of least resistance lies in letting your opponents complete most of the mini-game and then swoop in at the end and try to steal it, but compared to the fast-paced thrills of a real life Money in the Bank match, it's a stamina-annihilating slog.
Speaking of stamina, you can manually adjust player stamina in offline play, but it really just feels like a stop-gap solution for a mode that's so fundamentally flawed.
This has been a problem dating all the way back to WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2007 when the mode made its video game debut, and given the thrilling potential of playing out Money in the Bank matches in a game, it's depressing just how not-fun it tends to be.
