WWE 2K22: 10 Small Details That Make It Brilliant

4. Your Opponents Exiting The Ring

This is a detail so small that some gamers may not have even noticed it. Regardless, it's a wonderful touch from Visual Concepts and 2K Games.

If your opponent(s) have already made their way to the ring, there's a tiny piece of brilliant detail as you yourself make your grand entrance. As the aforementioned camera swoop takes place and shows the back of your wrestler, nicely detailing the venue and crowd around you, there is one minute detail lurking in the distance.

Should you choose to look down the ramp and towards the ring, your opponent will give you a nice stink eye stare before then dropping to the mat and rolling out of the ring.

This is simple, it makes perfect sense, and it's a fantastic touch that adds to the authenticity of WWE 2K22. After all, how many times do wrestlers - particularly heels - immediately exit the ring and steer clear of their rival while said rival makes their way to the ring? It's a 'blink and you'll miss it' detail, but it's such small details that add up to make WWE 2K22 such a hugely enjoyable game.
