WWE 2K18 for Android

WWE 2K18 promised to bring the excitement of professional wrestling to the digital medium. Offering new features, an expanded roster, and a revamped career mode, the game unfortunately failed to live up to expectations and stumbled outside the ring.

Most notable innovations in the game is the MyCareer mode. We can now create our own superstar and climb the WWE career ladder. The new promotion engine allows us to interact with the audience and gauge their reactions to gain popularity. The expanded roster allows players to choose from WWE Superstars, Legends, and NXT talent. The diversity gives players the freedom to create their own storylines.

WWE 2K18 is visually better than its predecessors. Character models are more detailed, arenas are more realistic and atmospheric. Animations, while not perfect, feel more fluid and realistic. While the new grappling system aims to add strategy to matches, it can sometimes be clunky and disrupt the game's flow.

One of the biggest issues with WWE 2K18 is the opponents. While opponents sometimes perform well, they often exhibit inconsistent behavior. Their illogical moves and decisions can frustrate matches, reducing the fluidity and competitive feel of the game.

The game's release hasn't been brilliant either. Several technical issues, bugs, glitches, and performance issues have negatively impacted the player experience. Patches have fixed some issues, but the game still hangs occasionally.

One of the best things about WWE 2K18 is the customization options and unlockable content. We can unlock new moves, outfits, and arenas by earning virtual money. 

The creation pack allows us to design our wrestlers, entrances, and shows. These customization options allow players to create their own WWE universe and increase the game's replayability.

WWE 2K18 has potential but fails to deliver. The career mode, expansive roster, and visual enhancements show the developers' hard work. Still, technical issues, unbalanced gameplay, and bot opponent issues hinder this potential. Fans of the series may enjoy the game, but for newcomers, WWE 2K18 seems like a missed opportunity. It might be better to hope for future games like a wrestler who doesn't get the championship belt.
