WWE 2K25 Players Are Going Wild Over One Frustrating Showcase Match

by

Summary

  • Tamina’s Bloodline Showcase match in WWE 2K25 is frustrating players with difficult objectives and chaotic gameplay.
  • Some players struggle with the new ladder match mechanics, leading to increased frustration.

In the Showcase mode of WWE 2K25, a prominent match involving Tamina has been singled out as particularly challenging by several gamers, with constructive feedback being freely shared. The Showcase in WWE 2K25 spotlights an extended Bloodline, encompassing not just the faction but also the amalgamation of the Anoa’i, Fatu, and Maivia families. This narrative pays tribute to the Samoan wrestling legends of yesterday and today.

Many gamers are eagerly anticipating their chance to play the latest addition in Visual Concepts’ wrestling series, WWE 2K25. The Standard Edition is set to be released on Friday, March 14, at midnight, however, those who pre-ordered either the Deadman or Bloodline editions have already been able to start exploring its different game modes since March 7.

The challenging event that’s causing frustration among spectators is the 2017 five-woman Money in the Bank ladder match. In this contest, competitors aim to control Tamina, a nine-time 24/7 champion and real-life daughter of wrestling legend “Superfly” Jimmy Snuka. The objective is to alter history by defeating Carmella, who actually won, as well as Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, and Natalya. The first player to scale the ladder and seize the briefcase suspended over the ring wins.

To secure all six rewards tied to this match, players must strategically attack each of the other four wrestlers in distinct manners. However, due to the AI-controlled wrestlers attacking each other and the player, both inside and outside the ring, it results in a chaotic scenario. If players fail to win this turbulent bout, it halts progress in the game mode, with only eight matches remaining.

WWE 2K25 Players Hate Tamina’s Bloodline Showcase Match

In the game WWE 2K25, achieving the Showcase unlockables often requires completing tasks during matches, a common feature in the series. However, this year, some of these tasks have time limits. For instance, after finishing various other objectives, players might exit a mid-match cutscene and need to swiftly inflict a substantial amount of damage on Natalya within 30 seconds. Unfortunately, Tamina usually exits the cutscene lying outside the ring, which wastes valuable time, and if you fail this objective, your only options are either to play the match without receiving any rewards or restart the game.

In a new twist for the series, the method used in WWE 2K24 and earlier games to climb ladders has been altered. Rather than aligning a rotating marker and pressing the correct button at the right moment, players in WWE 2K25 must navigate a sequence of quick time events to grab the briefcase or title above the ring. This adjustment appears to extend the process, providing more opportunities for opponents to strike the wrestler aloft or destroy the ladder altogether. Some gamers who jumped into the Showcase without first completing the tutorial or any other game modes were taken aback by this unexpected change.
