I would not recommend this game for casual WWE 2K fans. The ringside pass is an absolute joke considering it takes around 250+ matches in order to get to tier 40, not factoring in whether or not you get 5 stars on a match. It encourages grinding and playing through The Island and MyFaction, the latter of which has card packs that have some of the most predatory RNG, which is egregious considering this is a full-price game. If you spent all your money skipping through tiers, by the time the games over, you will have spent at minimum $1000 dollars. It's a damn shame because the gameplay is the best it's been so far, it would've been in the conversation of best WWE 2K release yet if it wasn't for the Ringside Pass. The most expensive version of this game is $150, and yet you have to grind the ringside pass to play as the characters you paid for. What a joke.
