Besides, it looks like it'll be worth it once the action properly gets going.

Wrestlers have way more weight to them than they used to, and the bumps they take on the canvas register better. Expect 2K to make the most of the PS5's haptic feedback here, and for controllers (Sony-produced or Microsoft) to rumble along with every bit of impact.

Those who have played a match or two in 2K22 noted that everything feels a lot more satisfying. Think of your favourite FPS, and how gunplay is infinitely more rewarding when every weapon has recoil or weight as bullets leaves the chamber. Then, picture that being stripped away and replaced by a "Pew Pew" sound.

That's kinda what it'd be like going back to 2K20, 2K19 and practically any 2K-produced WWE game after sampling 2K22. It's even obvious from watching gameplay footage on YouTube that everything has a meatier thump to it than before.
