10 New Details We Just Learned About AEW Fight Forever

Brought into WWE video games in WWE 2K15, the ineffectual star-rating system acts as the gauge for which computerised matches are rated, although nailing a multitude of finishers and/or evading countless pinfalls would, until WWE 2K23, result in a five-star match regardless of if the player was contesting another John Cena vs. AJ Styles epic or if you chose to squash Akira Tozawa as Andre The Giant. The slightly-altered 2K23 system made it so achieving a five-star-rated contest became slightly more difficult.

Ideally, the latter system will be the case in AEW Fight Forever, too. A hidden trophy, titled Match of the Year, confirms the presence of a star-rating system, the only apparent difference being that AEW's system goes up to seven stars. Given the hearty arcade appeal Fight Forever has over the simulation-based WWE 2K franchise, the expectancy is that attaining stars will be amply different and that seven-star matches will provide players with an authentic seven-star experience. To go back, Akira Tozawa vs. Andre The Giant should never go above two stars maximum. Ever. That goes for Fuego del Sol vs. Paul Wight, too. It should be a priority for Yuke's to ensure the star-rating system is effective, rather than it rapidly becoming a finisher frenzy.
