It pains me to say it, but this game makes Madden 17 look like a total masterpiece. I want to really enjoy wrestling games, but it seems like this company is happy releasing a bug ridden piece of garbage because they know they have a loyal fan base. Anyone who rated this game anything about a 5 must be completely delusional. If it was play tested, then they should be ashamed to have released such a horrible mess. Unfortunately, it seems like it wasn't even tested by the developers. It seems like it has a lot of features that are worthwhile. The truth is that I really want to enjoy this game. It is absurd that on day one, you are asked to download an 11 gigabyte patch and this issue isn't even addressed.

There is also a bug that wipes out data if the game goes into sleep mode on main menu screen. There is no consequence for winning or losing promos, so why should a game even bother to play them. They did include a promo engine which doesn't actually seem to affect anything. However, if they intended to remove an entire mode, they could have at least made significant improvements to the universe mode. Personally, I did not care for the showcase mode. There are some new cut scenes, but there certainly are not enough to justify canceling the showcase mode. I do not understand how such an oversight can make it into a game. Furthermore, the Universe mode constantly adds matches for no apparent reason. I don't want to sit through load screens for a twenty second match where I am submitted by a headlock because the submission system is terrible. I though I could bypass this issue, but turning off submissions isn't even possible. Unfortunately, the submission system is virtually impossible. It should be easy to escape a headlock when your head is not damaged. So the question is why is this game unplayable? The most obvious reason is the submission system.

The matches are smoother and the AI is okay. To their credit, they have made an effort to improve the game play. I have never written a review of a game before, but I can honestly say that this game disgusts me on so many levels and the developers should I have never written a review of a game before, but I can honestly say that this game disgusts me on so many levels and the developers should be ashamed of themselves.
