The verdict
A big step up from 2K20 with fun gameplay and deep creation tools, but online is shut down and PC crashes and corrupted saves are common. Skip it if you want online play or stability.
Great for
Wrestling fans who enjoy creating superstars, offline Universe and MyRise play, and couch fun with friends
Main risk
Online servers are gone, and crashes or corrupted saves can wipe your progress.
