WWE 2K18: 7 Biggest Disappointments
3. The Unrealistic Way Characters Act During Promos
Time to give 2K a little break. Cramming in every WWE star's voice to 2K18 would be an almost impossible task to complete each year. These performers are on the road constantly, so nailing them down for a few hours to record some lines would be tough. Let's sort that commentary first.
Still, is it too much to ask that Brock Lesnar doesn't leap around like The New Day when he's on the mic? The chance to cut promos is a bonus in the first place, but the novelty wears thin when realising that the paper-thin engine is akin to taking a test. All you're tasked with doing is ensuring that your next line follows the same theme as the last.
This causes promos to become a game of 'which of these ones is not like the other' more than a free-flowing performance that matches the storyline or feud your character is involved in. Wrestlers rarely act like they would on real WWE TV either, meaning this promising feature is flawed.
