I really hope that's just a temporary bug or I'll skip this game!

Absolutely a bug, no way they would remove AI v AI matches.

I mean, they could remove them...but I don't see why they would want to alienate a large base of players by doing that. I still haven't purchased. I was going to pre-order Deadman or Bloodline edition last night and thought "Let me just wait and see the temperature in the room before buying."

I'm sure it is a bug that should be fixed quickly, but in case it isn't, glad I held up on that purchase lol

I only played a few matches since the game was released late and i had to be up early for work so my impressions are limited.

First impressions:
Game felt slower to me overall. Could tell a difference between guys like Je'Von and Oba.
Chain Wrestling is back! Although i think the icons and graphic for it is way too large
The body damage is very well done
Underground was cool, although i thought it was no DQ? I lost via DQ
The free cam in entrance is a nice feature although its only rotated, can't zoom (at least that I've seen).

Tag team entrances or lack of is really noticeable and bad. I only used 4 teams and none were good:
Tama Tonga + Tonga Loa = Hurt Business entrance
4 man Meta Four = 4 man Hurt Business
Fraxiom = No idea but definitely not theirs
Chelsea Greene and Piper Niven = Piper had her hand out the whole time carrying an imaginary belt. I assume this is because Chelsea is the US champ so maybe this triggered a champ entrance for the two of them? Just looked stupid because Piper wasn't carrying anything.

I'll have more impressions tonight after work.

No problem for me, I have it on PS5 and I was able to program ai vs ai matches. So no worries 😉

The only small bug is to modify the match options and change the referees in universe mode, you have to put the intergender matches on "on", otherwise it puts an error message, but otherwise the ai vs ai matches work.

Nevermind. I figured it out. At the wrestler selection screen on PS5, press square to toggle the AI or HUM control.

I think we got WWE swerved on this game. I had high hopes and it's been nothing but a let down. Nothing has changed. Same sliders, same game as last year with the exception of "The Island".

The matches seem to be random and don't take the attributes into play much. Lower rated wrestlers are just about destroying higher rated wrestlers with everything at default.

Personality Traits, for 5 years running, are broken. You can't adjust them. One slight move to the right/left and the numbers jump 3-6 increments instead of 1.

Post match attack and the ref stood outside like a mannequin. Literally just stood there. When the wrestlers walked into him, he slid across the floor and made no movement.

I know it's the first few days of release, but these bugs are very apparent and some have been there for years. I don't think 2k put much effort into the gameplay as much as they did for presentation. It hurt the core game. This is a very underwhelming release. If I had to rate this, as of right now, 4/10. Very disappointed.

Anybody ever figure out how to do ai v ai on Xbox?
