I have been serious Fire Pro Fan since 1999, who has played several of the WWE games over the years.
The last WWE game I bought was 2K18, and it was hot garbage. I felt like a complete fool for buying that turd.
I recall reading that 2K22 was a revolution in the series.
Now WWE 2k23 is upon us and I am interested in getting the Deluxe version for my PS5.
Would a Fire Pro fan be better off avoiding 2K23 or is it worth picking up to have a 3D wrestling game for modern gen consoles?
Thanks!

Since the game isn't out yet there's really no way for anyone to answer this question definitively. That said, I think the answer would depend on what you want from a 3D wrestling game? WWE games and Fire Pro games have very little in common so there's not much of a reference point there.

I've been thinking out it and will wait several months before buying 2K23. The WWE games are typically a buggy mess upon release, as we know. I have seen gameplay footage of 2K23 on YouTube and it looks like the typical "rock and sock 'em robots" action that 2K is (in)famous for. The 2K games drop in price so quickly, it will be likely be available for 50% off this summer, which would be a much easier pill for me to swallow.

If you're expecting Fire Pro, don't.
If you want another wrestling game, sure, go crazy.
There's no similarities beyond "These are both wrestling games".

Imo, other than the War Game's match, I don't see any reason to get this if one has 2K22. I'm still partial to 2K19.
I don't have nor have I played 2K23 but from the review's I've seen, it's just 2K22 with an updated roster, a better MyRise and War Game's.
I may get it just to play War Game's for a while and then return back to FPWW.

The game has a lot of improvements when it comes to creating wrestlers. It’s so much easier to make wrestlers who loom like they belong with the in-game roster and the individual AI options are a step forward.
It’s not Fire Pro logic, but adding tendencies lets you customize how often a wrestler goes for strikes, grapples, dives, springboards, etc. There’s a noticeable difference in how the AI performs when you set those levels to the extremes. You can’t do stuff like setting move preferences in different situations, no string moves (outside of comebacks and moves that clearly set up others).
2K23 also adds a whole lot of customization on a global level, setting difficulty levels for escaping pins and submissions with tiers for post finisher and post three finishers, too. That kind of stuff can help your fed play the way you want - go full indy and make finishers easy to kick out of and let the signature bar go easy. Or make finishers basically instant death, up to you.
Clearly, 2K22 was a step up from 2K20, but that’s a low bar. I liked 2K22 more than 2K19, and so far, I’d say 2K23 is a clear set up on the customization side. Not a ton of flashy additions beyond War Games, but a lot of little things have been added and features like custom entrances have returned.

I had heard that 2k23 included some form of AI settings but I wasn't sure how detailed they would be...was curious how good they could be for simming purposes.... so thanks for the info.
I think I'mma stick with 2k22 for now. The wargames match alone certainly isn't worth buying a whole new game for.

I think a lot of these are good little touches especially for using custom wrestlers in the game modes that only wwe games have. Unfortunately I don't think they will bring back create a story mode which is the only thing that would get me to auto buy the game again especially with all the custom stuff previously mentioned. |

The deluxe version of WWE 2K23 is $40 on the PS Store in the USA.
I am tempted to buy it. I assume most of the bugs have been worked out by now.
Any thoughts on WWE 2K23, seven months after release?

Wait until Black Friday, you can probably get it for even cheaper.
