WWE 2K22: 10 Small Details That Make It Brilliant

5. The Camera Positioning During Entrances

It's such a simple, simple thing, yet something that makes WWE 2K22 feel so grandiose and detailed.

As your wrestler of choice makes his way to the ring, you get the standard front-on view as said grappler makes his or her signature entrance manoeuvres and mannerisms. That in itself looks fantastic where the vast majority of the roster is concerned, but the element that puts WWE 2K22's entrances to an entirely new level is how you get a camera angle of the back of your wrestler as part of this entrance schtick.

It may sound like such an extremely minute detail, but viewing your grappler from the back makes the arenas feel massive. Additionally, the fact that the crowd is extensively more loose and individual also helps, with this view from the stage down the ramp making you appreciate the depth and attention that Visual Concepts has put into the audiences of 2K22.

This is only a minor thing, yet it absolutely helps WWE 2K22 feel 'big time' and adds a sense of genuine awe to matches - especially if you're in a huge venue or even an outdoor stadium show.
