Sad times ahead for CAWs
One of the biggest disappointments for fans of the WWE 2K franchise is that in the upcoming WWE 2K23 game, there will be no body morphing like that seen in WWE 2K19. This feature was beloved by fans, allowing them to create custom wrestlers, or CAWs, with unique body shapes that looked completely different from the professional wrestlers on which they were based. Sadly, this feature has been removed from the newest game in the series, which is sure to be a blow to fans.
What is Body Morphing?
Body morphing is a feature that allows players to adjust various aspects of their custom wrestlers’ bodies, including muscle mass, height, and weight. This means that players can create CAWs that are very different from the default wrestlers in the game, allowing for a wide range of customization options. This feature was first introduced in WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2010 and has been a part of almost every WWE game since.
Why was Body Morphing Removed?
There has been no official statement from the developers about why body morphing was removed from WWE 2K23. However, there are a few possible reasons.
- One explanation is that the developers wanted to focus on other aspects of the game.
- Another possible reason is that the developers wanted to streamline the game and simplify the customization process.
- Finally, some fans speculate that the removal of body morphing is simply a cost-saving measure – it takes time and money to develop and test a feature like this, and the developers may have decided that it wasn’t worth the effort.
The Impact on CAWs
The removal of body morphing is going to have a significant impact on CAWs. Custom wrestlers that used this feature to create unique body shapes will no longer be possible. This means that CAWs will look much more similar to the default wrestlers, with only minor customization options available.
Furthermore, the removal of this feature means that it will be much harder to create CAWs that look like real-life wrestlers or celebrities. In the past, players could use body morphing to create wrestlers with similar body types to the people they were trying to replicate. Without that feature, the best they can do is adjust the facial features and clothing of their wrestlers, which may not be enough to create a convincing likeness.
Other Customization Options
While the removal of body morphing is disappointing, it’s important to remember that there are still many other customization options available in WWE 2K23. Players can still create custom wrestlers with unique hairstyles, facial hair, tattoos, and clothing. They can also adjust the colors and logos on their wrestlers’ clothing, which can help to create a distinctive look.
In addition, WWE 2K23 will still allow players to create custom arenas, championships, and entrances. This means that players can still create their own unique wrestling shows and championships, and even add custom music and video packages to their wrestlers’ entrances.
Conclusion
The removal of body morphing from WWE 2K23 is certainly a disappointment for fans of the series. Custom wrestlers will no longer be able to have unique body shapes, which will limit the customization options available. However, there are still many other customization options available in the game, and players can still create unique wrestlers, arenas, and championships. While it’s not the same as being able to create truly unique body shapes, it’s still something that fans can enjoy.
