Great offline time-killer, but terrible online servers and frustrating menus hold it back

Review: > After spending 46 hours playing this game offline against the AI, I feel ready to give an honest review. First of all, it is a shame that WWE 2K26 has no dedicated servers in Asia, forcing players in regions like Saudi Arabia to connect to high-ping American servers, making online play completely unplayable.

> On the gameplay side, the Legendary difficulty is way too easy, forcing me to play 15-minute Iron Man matches with weapons just to get a real challenge. The Showcase and story mode felt a step down compared to WWE 2K25, and side modes like MyGM are poorly designed and unenjoyable. Furthermore, Community Creations is extremely slow and lacks quality content.

> To add to the frustration, the character selection menu is poorly designed. The letter-sorting system makes no sense; top-tier main-eventers like Roman Reigns or Randy Orton are buried way down, forcing you to waste minutes scrolling through useless low-rated wrestlers just to find someone you actually want to play with.

> While I managed to sink 46 hours into it offline because I love the franchise, having to rely purely on offline modes in 2026 with such cumbersome UI and no Asian servers is disappointing. Overall, it's a mixed experience: fun for solo sessions, but a massive failure in online infrastructure and menu design. Rating: 6/10.
