AEW Fight Forever: 5 Things It Does Better Than WWE 2K23 (And 5 It Doesn’t!)

1. DOESN'T: The Creation Suite

Oh dear.

Firstly, Fight Forever's creation suite (for both CAWs and arenas) is basic and empty. You'll struggle to craft a decent-looking wrestler, and the low amount of options on the arena side means things sag there as well. WWE 2K23 has AEW's game licked in this department.

Second, there's a huge hole in Fight Forever's armour. It doesn't give gamers the ability to either upload or download CAWs, arenas, title belts, graphics etc. There's no Community Creations hub, and that'll be a determining factor for some who might've been interested in checking it out.

Community Creations is one of the biggest reasons why WWE's 2K franchise is heralded as such a success. It keeps people coming back for more, but AEW don't have anything like it. Fight Forever's creation suite comes across as a bit of an afterthought, being brutally honest.
